AFC Asian Cup 2019: [Watch] Top 5 goals from the first round of the tournament

#2 Mohammed Al-Fatil 37' - Saudi Arabia 4-0 North Korea

Mohammed Al-Fatil's backheel in the penalty box left the rival goalkeeper flabbergasted

Saudi Arabia vs. North Korea was expected to be a one-sided affair as they were separated by forty spots in the FIFA rankings ladder. The Green Falcons eventually routed them 4-0 with the North Koreans being reduced to ten men in the 44th minute. But, it was their second goal which became the talking point of the match.

Han Kwang Song brought down Yaseer Alshahrani in the 36th minute nastily and was shown the yellow card for it. Saudi Arabia had a free-kick just outside the penalty box and Hussain Almoqawhi stepped up to take it.

He angled it perfectly towards Mohammed Al-Fatil whose deft little backheel left the goalkeeper flabbergasted. The touch was so quick that it is impossible to see from the naked eye.

Here is the goal:
