If referee Hanna Hattab was the main character in the match between U19 Vietnam and U19 UAE with the unfortunate penalty that caused U19 Vietnam to lose the victory, then last night referee Turki Al Khudhayr was also a cause leading to the crushing defeat of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The fact is that U19 Iraq completely pressured U19 DPRK throughout the first half but could not score a goal. It was not until referee Turki Al Khudhayr awarded U19 Iraq a penalty after defender Choe Jin-nam of U19 DPRK handled the ball in the penalty area that the deadlock was broken, when Mazin Fayyadh scored the opening goal for U19 Iraq from the penalty spot.

After this goal, U19 DPRK started to push forward to find an equalizer, creating huge spaces for U19 Iraq, and as a result, the Gulf team scored 3 more goals to end the match with a score of 4-0.

Speaking after the match, coach Ri Song-ho of the DPRK U19 team said that the penalty goal from Iraq U19 was the turning point of the match. He said: "The penalty in the second half broke us, because after conceding the goal, my players had to attack, exposing gaps in the defense and leading to the 0-4 loss."
