4.Sporting Cristal 3 0 1 2 4- 7 1 [Lima, Peru]
Note: the Czechoslovakia team is described by some sources as the Olympic team, but it seems
to be rather a reinforced Olympic team with a few senior national players added, and was
described by other sources as a league selection. The matches were not official for the CSFS.

4.USA 3 0 1 2 3- 5 1
Notes: the Soviet team was described in TASS (Soviet news agency) reports as the "team of USSR clubs",
i.e. a league selection. Several of the players were also members of the Olympic team. The full
Soviet national team was playing in the European Championship during this period. The USSF regards
the USA match vs Iwuanyanwu as a full international (as USA vs Nigeria).
Group D
18- 6-1988 Iraq 2-0 South Korea B [at Cheongju]
[Hussein Saeed 33' 84']
18- 6-1988 Hungary League XI 0-0 Gimnasia y Esgrima [at Cheongju]
20- 6-1988 Iraq 3-1 Gimnasia y Esgrima [at Anyang]

3.South Korea B 3 1 0 2 3- 5 2
4.Gimnasia y Esgrima 3 0 1 2 2- 5 1 [La Plata, Argentina]
Note: the Hungarian team is reported by various sources as the Olympic team, or a league
selection, or a youth team. The latter would seem to be wrong, as László Gyimesi was aged 30
at the time of the tournament. The South Korean team is reported as a B team or youth team.
