A goalkeeper from North Korea who failed to stop an opposing goalkeeper's kick from scoring has been banned from the Under-17 World Cup for 'bringing the game into disrepute'.

The YouTube clip of Jang Paek Ho's bizarre efforts to stop Jasurbek Umrzakov's punt in an Asian Under-16 Championship match against Uzbekistan in September has already been viewed more than 4.5 million times.

On Friday, the Asian Football Confederation said it has imposed a 12-month ban on Jang Paek Ho and North Korea under-16 team coach Yung Jong Su and had also fined them both.

They said: 'The effect of the match suspensions also means that Yung and Jang are now suspended from the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

'Should the U-19 representative team of the North Korea Football Association engage in similar behavior in the AFC U-19 Championship 2018 qualifiers, they will be automatically excluded from the competition.'

The U-17 World Cup will be played in India next October.

North Korea's 3-1 loss to Uzbekistan ensured they faced lower-ranked Oman in the quarterfinals. With the four semifinalists all qualifying for the FIFA tournament, North Korea advanced via a penalty shoot-out, while Uzbekistan faced eventual champions Iraq in the quarter finals and lost.

The goal, the opening strike of the game, came when Jang needlessly raced miles out of his area and then completely misjudged a long clearance by Umrzakov in the Asian youth championships in India.

His laughable attempts to race back and stop the ball from going into the net raised suspicions that he deliberately let it in to help North Korea get an easier game in the next round.

Jang looked to have plenty of time to correct his first mistake when the ball went sailing yards over his head, only for him to inexplicably stumble and fall to the ground at the vital moment as he was chasing back.

Amazingly, he still had a chance to get up and make the save, but then fell over once again with an exaggerated dive.
