Kwon Yi-woon

Like with many South Korean youth footballers of the late 1960s, Kwon would move to Seoul to play for the local high schools of the capital city.

[1] The South Korea national football team of the 1970s would be often criticized for having goalkeepers of poor quality.

[2] Following the failure of South Korea to qualify for the 1972 Summer Olympics, Kwon was selected to be one of three new goalkeepers in an attempt to improve and reform the team.

Despite the South Korean team being somewhat more energetic around the second half of the match and attempting to score goals of their own, the Iranians would continue to play aggressively with an attempt made six minutes in by Ghafour Jahani and on the 74th minute, Gholam Hossein Mazloumi would score the first goal of the match after Kwon had failed to block the ball intime.

Mazloumi would score again in the 86th minute from a from the right side of the goalpost, leaving the Korean defense dazed.
