A Spectacular Goal in Extra Time in the Second Half… Japan Regains Top Spot in U-23 Asian Cup After 8 Years

The Japan loses 1-0 against Uzbekistan after missing a penalty kick.

Japan, who saved a penalty kick following a ‘great goal’ in extra time in the second half, defeated ‘difficult enemy’ Uzbekistan and succeeded in reclaiming the top spot in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 (U-23) Asian Cup after eight years.

Japan won 1-0 in the final of the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup against Uzbekistan held at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar, on the 4th (Korean time) thanks to Fuki Yamada’s winning goal in extra time in the second half. 바카라사이트

With this, Japan experienced the joy of becoming champion for the second time since the 2016 tournament.

On the other hand, Uzbekistan missed a penalty kick opportunity in extra time in the second half and pondered the disappointment of finishing second in two consecutive competitions (2022 and 2024).

Japan’s captain Joel Chima Fujita was selected as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), and Iraq’s Ali Jassim, who took third place, was the top scorer with four goals.

With the conclusion of this tournament, which also serves as the Asian qualifier for men’s soccer for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the formation of Olympic groups has also been completed.

Japan, the winner, will face Paraguay, Mali, and Israel in Group D, and runner-up Uzbekistan will face Spain, Egypt, and the Dominican Republic in Group C.

Iraq, which ranked third after defeating Indonesia led by Coach Shin Tae-yong in the third-place match, competes in Group C with Argentina, Morocco, and Ukraine.

However, Indonesia, which ranked 4th, must win the intercontinental playoff against Guinea (Africa) scheduled for the 9th to win the ‘last ticket’ to the Paris Olympics and fight in Group A with France, the United States, and New Zealand.

The outcome of this day’s final was decided in extra time in the second half.

Japan, who had failed to score in the 45th minute of the second half in a losing effort, scored the valuable winning goal in one minute of added time in the second half, which lasted 11 minutes.

The main character was midfielder Yamada, who came on in the 26th minute of the second half.

Japan launched a counterattack by blocking Uzbekistan’s pass near the center line, and after continuing a concise pass, Fuki Yamada, who took over the ball near the right side of the penalty arc, struck the goal with a left-footed shot to split the game.

Argentina Coach: “Messi’s Participation in Copa Quarterfinals Uncertain… I Will do my Best”

Argentina national soccer team’s ‘captain’ Lionel Messi (37, Inter Miami) has not recovered from his injury, making it uncertain whether he will play in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa America (South American Football Championship).

At a press conference held at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, USA on the 4th (Korean time), a day before the quarterfinals match between Argentina and Ecuador.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni said, “It is difficult to guarantee Messi’s participation in the match against Ecuador.”

“I will wait a few more hours today and then decide. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

The injury will get better with time.

Depending on the results today, I will decide whether Messi will play tomorrow, he said.”

Messi played full-time in both the first and second group matches, fulfilling the role of ‘ace’.

However, after the second match against Chile, he complained of discomfort in his right hamstring (the muscle at the back of the thigh) and withdrew from the lineup, and watched the third match from the bench.

Messi met with reporters after the Chile match and said, “My adductor muscles are stiff.

“It didn’t feel like it was breaking or tearing, but it was difficult to move freely,” he explained.

Ahead of the press conference that day, Messi was spotted training with his teammates at the training ground.

Coach Scaloni said, “I will do my best to make sure Lionel Messi can play in the game.

Even if I can’t play, I will find the best way for the team, he said.

“I will talk to Messi today.

We will allow Messi to train as much as possible,”” he said.”

Argentina, aiming for its 16th Copa America title, won all three matches against Canada, Chile, and Peru in the group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Their opponent, Ecuador, advanced to the quarterfinals in second place in Group B.

They showed considerable performance, including a 3-1 crushing of Jamaica and a 0-0 draw with Central American powerhouse Mexico.

The quarterfinals between Argentina and Ecuador will kick off at 10 a.m. on the 5th.

Coach Scaloni did not let his guard down, saying, “Ecuador is one of the best teams in the Copa America and a team that can challenge for the championship.”

Meanwhile, Messi has yet to score a goal in this tournament. Messi, who is

tied for 7th place in the Copa America scoring rankings with 13 goals, needs four more goals to surpass Norberto Mendes (Argentina) and Zinho (Brazil) 17 goals and tied for first place.

“Seoul, I Don’t Know as Much as I Want Yet”… Kim Ki-dong is Hungry Despite his First Win

 

First loss’ Jeju Kim Hak-beom “Difficult situation with the first PK goal conceded… It will get better over time.”

Coach Kim Ki-dong, who took charge of FC Seoul in the K-League 1 professional soccer league and reported his first win in three games, scolded his players, saying that the team did not improve as much as he wanted.

After finishing the K-League 1 3rd round home game against Jeju United held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 16th, Coach Kim said, “It was a very long three games until our first win. 파워볼게임

“I think we showed a little more stickiness today than in the last game,” he said.

Seoul won 2-0 in the first half with Ilyuchenko’s penalty kick goal and Ki Sung-yueng’s additional goal, recording their first win of the season.

Ahead of this season, Seoul drew attention by recruiting coach Kim and former England national team midfielder Jesse Lingard, but was disappointed in the first two games.

On this day, Seoul showed much better performance and won, attracting a home crowd of nearly 30,000.

It made me laugh.

In particular, the performance of new faces such as fullback Choi Jun and midfielder Ryu Jae-moon was encouraging.

Coach Kim said, “(Choi) Jun was definitely active and fast, so he actively harassed the opponent’s attack, and he was good at covering the defense, so he was a source of energy for the team.

(Ryu) Jae-moon was also in his first game, and he was good at throwing the ball left and right.

He smiled and said, “He looked like he was looking for a way to attack.”

Nevertheless, Coach Kim declared, “The soccer I want is not yet there, and I am not satisfied.”

He emphasized, “In the first half, I played the ball in the position I wanted and sprayed it to the side, but those things should continue until the second half and we should be able to show a match without ups and downs.”

He emphasized, “I will make tomorrow better than today, and the day after tomorrow better than tomorrow.”

“What doesn’t become a habit in training or practice games won’t show up on the pitch.

Coach Kim, who emphasized the importance of ‘habits’ by saying, “You have to train and practice and get used to it, it will come out in an instant without you even realizing it,” and plans to make good use of the upcoming international break.

He said, “After the March international break, there wasn’t much of a break.

“I think this period is a really important time to ‘step up,’” he said.

“We plan to increase training time and training volume to prepare for the game against Gangwon FC on the 31st.”

Captain Ki Sung-yong, who scored an additional goal that day, said, The players completely trust the coach.

“It just takes time for the coach’s style and desired performance to mature,” he said, adding, “As the atmosphere is improving, a lot of things will come from the coach to this team.”

Jeju’s coach Kim Hak-beom, who lost to Seoul, said, “If we had been a little more focused, we could have played a better game,” and added, “It’s unfortunate that the situation became difficult after the first penalty kick was taken.

This is something we need to work on a little more.”

On this day, Jeju allowed two goals in the first half to Seoul, and their captain, center back Lim Chae-min, was sent off at the end of the second half, suffering their first loss after going undefeated in the first two games (1 win, 1 draw).

“The game felt rough from the beginning today, and I expected it to be like that.

Wouldn’t it have been better if we had calmed down the excitement?” said Coach Kim, who pondered, adding, “As time passes, we will be able to show a better performance.”

Suwon, Which Attracted the Largest Number of Spectators in Division 2

'나의 수원은 죽었다' 2023년, 수원은 어쩌다 강등팀이 되었나[오!쎈 수원]

SUWON, WHICH ATTRACTED THE LARGEST NUMBER OF SPECTATORS IN DIVISION 2, OVERCAME NUMERICAL INFERIORITY TO ACHIEVE ITS FIRST WIN IN K-LEAGUE 2

 

Director Yeom Ki-hoon kept his promise to ‘hit first’…

Mulich multi-goal, beating Chungnam Asan 2-1 … About 14,000 people entered Suwon World Cup Stadium

Suwon Samsung, a professional soccer team, overcame numerical inferiority and won the first K-League 2 match in the club’s history. 온라인카지노

This is the first win of coach Ki-Hoon Yeom, the ‘official head coach’, achieved in front of the largest audience in K League 2 history.

Suwon got off to a good start by defeating Chungnam Asan FC 2-1 in the Hana Bank K League 2 2024 1st round home game held at Suwon World Cup Stadium in Gyeonggi-do on the 3rd.

Suwon, who suffered a shocking relegation to last place in K-League 1 last season, took the first step towards ‘challenge for promotion’ by taking 3 points.

Coach Yeom, who experienced relegation to the second division as an acting manager, kept the promise he made after becoming the official manager in the first game.

Coach Yeom announced at the opening media day on the 26th of last month that he would play ‘soccer that hits first.’

Last season, when he had only 8 wins in 38 games in the first division, he made a pledge that he would change the disappointing situation of giving up leads from the first half.

As the head coach boasted, Suwon took the lead by scoring the first goal in the 21st minute of the first half.

Mulic, a foreign striker who is over 2m tall, became the protagonist of Suwon’s ‘K League 2 first goal’.

As Chungnam Asan’s Kang Jun-hyuk failed to properly handle the ball, Lee Sang-min, who dug into the right side, quickly snatched it and ran into the penalty area.

Lee Sang-min delivered the ball to the front of the goal, and Mulic calmly kicked the ball home, shaking Chungnam Asan’s net.

A crisis came in the 40th minute of the first half for Suwon, which had overwhelmed South Chungcheong Asan, leading in ball possession by 64% to 36% until the 30th minute of the first half.

During Chungnam Asan’s counterattack, Jo Yun-seong knocked down Juninho, who rushed into the penalty area, from behind.

Cho Yun-seong, who transferred from Asan, South Chungcheong Province, ahead of this season, was given a red card after a video review (VAR).

Although Suwon was outnumbered early on, they scored an additional goal before the end of the first half.

This time, Mulic came forward again.

Mulic, who took the free kick from behind the penalty arc in extra time in the first half, hit the corner of the goal with a sharp right-footed shot.

South Chungcheong Asan began an offensive in the second half by taking advantage of its numerical superiority and scored a make-up goal in the 23rd minute of the second half.

Rookie midfielder Jeong Ma-ho, born in 2005, calmly completed Park Dae-hoon’s pass deep into the penalty box and scored his professional debut goal.

However, South Chungcheong Asan was unable to open Suwon’s goal once more and had to accept a 1-2 loss.

New South Chungcheong Asan coach Kim Hyun-seok, who worked at the club’s front office and took over leadership of the team after last season, postponed his debut win until the next opportunity.

14,196 people attended the first game of the K League 2 for Suwon, which is considered the most popular club in Korea.

More spectators visited Suwon World Cup Stadium than last year’s K League 1 opening match against Gwangju FC (10,348).

The number of 14,916 people is the highest number in K League 2 after counting paid spectators.

It exceeded the attendance of 13,340 for the game between Busan I’Park and Bucheon FC held at Busan Asiad Main Stadium last season.

Suwon general manager Park Gyeong-hoon said, “Even though we were relegated, so many fans came to see us.

I know very well that this is an expression of expectations that we will definitely achieve promotion this season.

We will do our best to repay those expectations.”

Jesse Lingard Really Came to Korea, Joining FC Seoul

‘Former Manchester United’ Jesse Lingard Really Came to Korea… Joining FC Seoul ‘Right Before our Eyes’

 

Manchester United’s 200th total appearance, England national team spearhead, converted to free agency due to poor performance and injury last season, 2-year contract extended by 1 year, K-League 1’s highest salary.

If the transfer is completed, he will be ‘the best foreign player in K-League history’ 온라인카지노

Midfielder Jesse Lingard (32), who played for Manchester United (Manchester United, England) and the England national team, visited Korea to go through the process of joining K League 1 FC Seoul.

When Lingard arrived at Incheon International Airport wearing a black hoodie and a hat on the afternoon of the 5th, about 200 fans who had gathered at the gate three hours ago chanted his name ‘Jesse’.

Lingard waved goodbye and signed autographs for fans who brought Manchester United and FC Seoul uniforms.

Previously, he posted a picture on his social network service (SNS) of waiting to check-in his luggage at the airport with Korean Air, hinting at his ‘bound for Seoul’.

Lingard is scheduled to enter final negotiations to join FC Seoul.

It has been reported that a significant portion of the agreement has already been reached.

On the 2nd, Britain’s Sky Sports reported, “It is understood that they have agreed to a verbal contract that includes a basic two-year contract with a one-year extension.”

The annual salary is estimated to be around 1.5 to 2 billion won, the highest level in K League 1.

If negotiations proceed without a hitch, Lingard will undergo a health checkup on the 6th, sign a contract on the 7th, and then meet Korean fans for the first time at a press conference on the 8th.

After the introductory press conference, he is expected to join the FC Seoul squad, which is undergoing field training in Kagoshima, Japan, and begin teamwork in earnest.

Among foreign players who have played on the Korean professional soccer stage, Lingard is evaluated as the best of all time in terms of ‘name value’ alone.

Lingard, a former Manchester United youth player, gained experience on loan to Birmingham City, Brighton, and Derby County before making his English Premier League (EPL) debut in 2015.

He has over 200 career appearances for Manchester United through the 2021-2022 season.

He played 32 games for the England national team and scored 6 goals, especially helping the team advance to the semifinals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Lingard left Manchester United and moved to Nottingham Post ahead of the 2022-2023 season, but was released as a free agent last summer due to poor performance and a hamstring injury.

Unable to find a team even after the new season began, he explored transfers to Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, but then accelerated negotiations with FC Seoul.

Jesse Lingard’s last official appearance was as a substitute in the 88th minute of the second half of a league game against Manchester United in April last year.

As he faces a gap of nearly a year in actual play, the key is whether his soft landing at FC Seoul can be successful.

‘He Really Came’ Former Manchester United Midfielder Lingard Enters the Country… “Score 20 Goals”

 

Former England national team midfielder Lingard is imminent to join K-League 1 FC Seoul.

In response to fan requests, he provided exciting fan service such as autographs and photo shoots even before joining the club.

“10 goals is a must, and I hope he scores 20 goals.”

Former England national team midfielder Jesse Lingard (31), who is about to join FC Seoul in the professional soccer K League 1, has entered the country. 카지노사이트

Lingard arrived in Korea through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 5th.

When Lingard, wearing a black hoodie and black cap, appeared at his arrival hall, about 200 fans waiting for him cheered and chanted ‘Jessie’.

Lingard was momentarily taken aback as if he had not expected the huge crowd welcoming him, but then responded with a smile and a wave.

Lingard approached the fans who were chanting his name, signed his uniform, readily accepted the fan’s request for a photo, and quickly left the airport under the guidance of club officials.

Lingard is an attacking midfielder who also played for the England national team, and is a star player who played over 200 games for Manchester United (Man Utd), a famous English Premier League (EPL) team.

Lingard, who received news that he would challenge the K-League stage through Seoul Wool, entered the country on this day and concluded final negotiations with the club.

He will then undergo a medical test on the 6th and sign the final contract on the 7th.

The plan is to exchange first greetings with Korean fans at an introductory press conference on the 8th, then join the Seoul team that is training in Kagoshima, Japan, and begin strengthening in earnest.

Lingard posted on his social media this morning that he would check in his luggage at the Korean Air counter at Heathrow Airport in London, England and go to Korea soon.

When news broke that Lingard would arrive in Korea this afternoon, numerous fans gathered at the arrival hall, wearing Seoul uniforms and holding mufflers in their hands, forming a long line about two hours before he showed up.

Kim Min-seong (16), who waited for Lingard for over two hours with high dreams of winning, said, “When the news that he was coming to Seoul appeared, I couldn’t believe it and it felt like a dream,” and emphasized, “There is a 99% chance of winning this year.”

Wearing a red Seoul uniform, he smiled brightly and said, “I think Jesse Lingard will definitely score 10 goals.

I hope he scores up to 20 goals.”

Likewise, Lee Jae-hoo (19), who came to the airport with two acquaintances wearing a Seoul uniform, said, “I heard that Lingard is coming into the country today, but as a Seoul fan, I couldn’t sit still, so I came to the airport.”

He added, “The value of the name Lingard is strong in my heart.

“I was stuck,” he said.

Mr. Kim, who said he will ‘blow the flute’ like his symbolic ceremony when Lingard walks out of the arrival hall, said, “Seoul is a team that always challenges for the championship, and Lingard’s arrival will have an impact on increasing the number of spectators and heightening the atmosphere at the stadium.”

“I’m really looking forward to the season,” he said, unable to hide his excitement.

Jeonbuk Raises Objection to K-League Over ‘Replacement Mistake’ Incident

Jeonbuk Raises Objection to K-League Over ‘Replacement Mistake’ Incident… Request for Pohang Forfeiture

 

Jeonbuk Hyundai, a professional soccer team, officially requested the Korea Professional Football League to “forfeit” the opponent’s game in relation to the Pohang Steelers match, in which the team had to face 12 opposing players on record due to a player substitution mistake.

Jeonbuk Club announced on the 29th that it submitted an official letter of objection to the Professional Federation requesting Pohang’s 0-3 forfeit against Pohang in the 35th round of K League 1 and post-expulsion punishment for Pohang’s Kim In-seong and Shin Kwang-hoon.

Jeonbuk based its argument on the player replacement procedure provisions of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) game rules and professional league regulations that deem the player’s club to have lost 0-3 if an ‘unqualified player’ participates in the game. 카지노

In the match in question held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium the day before, a skit took place in which 12 Pohang players played.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Pohang fullback Kim Yong-hwan was injured and could not continue the game

So Pohang tried to substitute fullback Shin Gwang-hoon in place of Kim Yong-hwan.

But Pohang made a mistake.

The replacement table was submitted with ‘No. 7 Kim In-seong out, No. 17 Shin Gwang-hoon in’.

The replacement board held up by the second referee had striker Kim In-seong’s number 7 written on it, not Kim Yong-hwan’s number 3.

If the referee had clearly carried out the substitution like this, it would have ended up being an ‘internal mistake within Pohang’.

However, the incident turned out to be complicated.

While Kim Yong-hwan was outside the ground, Shin Kwang-hoon entered the ground, and Kim In-seong continued to play.

This situation lasted for 6 minutes, and the Jeonbuk bench protested to the referee.

Pohang had to belatedly replace Kim Yong-hwan and Kim Seung-dae, who returned to the bench in the 32nd minute of the first half.

Although Kim Yong-Hwan was off the field due to injury, Pohang faced Jeonbuk with 12 players for about 6 minutes.

Kim In-seong could be an ‘unqualified player’ on paper.

The game between Jeonbuk and Pohang ended in a 1-1 draw.

Jeonbuk said, “This is a case where the player replacement procedure, which is the most basic and important principle in the game rules and regulations, is incorrect, and this is an issue that cannot be taken lightly,”

Adding, “An accurate decision is necessary for the status of the K-League.

The professional soccer federation’s wise decision is necessary.”

“I look forward to your judgment,” he said.

A Pohang official said, “It is true that it was our intention to remove Kim Yong-hwan and add Shin Kwang-hoon, but if the referee had done the ‘replacement work by removing Kim In-seong and inserting Shin Kwang-hoon’ as we made a ‘mistake’, there would have been no problem,” the professional league said.

“I will wait for the decision,” he said. 메이저 토토사이트

Busan Comes from Behind to Win 2-1 Over Bucheon… One Step Closer to Returning to K League 1 After 4 Years

 

Second-place Gimcheon also beat Gimpo 2-0… Jeonnam , which is 2 points behind first place with 2 games remaining, defeated its rival Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province 3-0… I keep hoping for Jun-PO

Professional soccer K-League 2 Busan I’Park achieved a thrilling comeback victory over Bucheon FC, taking one step closer to returning to the first division after four years.

Busan defeated Bucheon 2-1 in the home game of the 37th round of Hana One Q K League 2 2023 held at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the 29th.

As a result, the points of leader Busan (20 wins, 9 draws, 5 losses) rose to 69.

The point gap with 2nd place Gimcheon Sangmu (67 points, 21 wins, 4 draws, 9 losses), which defeated Gimpo FC in the subsequent game, was maintained at 2. 스포츠토토

With two games left until the end of the season, Busan maintained an advantageous position in this round as well.

If Busan, who finished last in K League 1 in 2020 and slipped to the second division, wins the championship, they will return to the first division after four years.

This year’s K-League 2 winning team will be automatically promoted to K-League 1, and the 2nd-place team will challenge for promotion by playing a promotion playoff (PO) against the 11th-place team in K-League 1.

On the other hand, Bucheon (15 wins, 9 draws, 11 losses, 54 points) maintained 4th place, but was unable to widen the gap with 5th place Gyeongnam FC (53 points) and 6th place Jeonnam Dragons (50 points).

The first to laugh was Bucheon, who scored a lucky goal.

In the 29th minute of the first half, captain Kim Ho-nam’s mid-distance shot from the corner of the penalty area was deflected by Lim Min-hyuk and was sucked into the goal, drawing a trajectory that the goalkeeper could not handle.

Busan, who reorganized their line at halftime, went on the offensive from the beginning of the second half, and it paid off by scoring two goals.

In the 24th minute of the second half, Busan tied the score with Choi Jun’s consolation goal, but was fouled by Jeong Hee-woong for a handball while trying to block a cross.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Lamas calmly scored a penalty kick and achieved a comeback.

Gimcheon, aiming for a last-minute comeback victory, beat Gimpo FC 2-0 at home and secured second place.

As the point difference with 3rd place Gimpo (59 points, 16 wins, 11 draws, 7 losses) became 8, there were no cases of the rankings being reversed in the remaining two games.

The balance between the two teams, which was tied 0-0, tilted toward Gimcheon in the 3rd minute of the second half when Lee Jun-seok scored.

When Kim Jin-gyu put a cross in front of the goal, Lee Jun-seok jumped in and pushed it in to make it 1-0.

Kim Jin-gyu scored a goal himself in the 30th minute of the second half, putting a wedge in the game.

Jeonnam Province continued its hopes of advancing to the semi-PO by defeating Chungbuk Cheongju FC 3-0 at home.

Jeonnam, with 15 wins, 5 draws, and 14 losses, reached the 50-point mark and took 6th place.

In K-League 2, the 5th-place team plays a semi-PO with the 4th-place team and then faces the 3rd-place team, and the winning team plays the 10th-place team in K League 1 again.

Currently in 5th place is Gyeongnam FC (14 wins, 11 draws, 9 losses, 53 points), with a 3 point difference with Jeonnam.

With two games left until the end of the season, there is still a possibility of a comeback for Jeonnam depending on the results of the remaining schedule.

On the other hand, Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province (8th place, 12 wins, 12 draws), which stopped at 48 points, suffered its 10th loss of the season and its chances of advancing to the semi-PO dropped significantly.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Valdivia, who broke through the left flank, sent a cross with his right foot, and Plana finished with a left-footed volley, hitting the net.

In the 5th minute of the second half, Lee Yong-jae, who received a penetrating pass from Valdivia, saw goalkeeper Park Dae-han advancing to narrow the angle and flicked the ball in to make it 2-0.

13 minutes later, Hanam headed a cross from Valdivia’s corner kick, which hit Noh Geon-woo in front of the goal and crossed the goal line to make the score 3-0.

Ulsan Hyundai, a professional soccer team, was crowned K-League 1 champion for two consecutive years for the first time since its founding and received the ‘winning star’ for the fourth time in total. 카지노사이트

Ulsan won 2-0 in the home game between Daegu FC and Hana One Q K League 1 2023 Final A Round 35 held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 29th with Kim Min-hyuk’s header winning goal in the 23rd minute of the second half and Jang Si-young’s key goal in the 44th minute of the second half.

As a result, Ulsan, who accumulated 70 points with 21 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, widened the point gap with second-place Pohang Steelers (60 points) to 10, confirming their victory in the 2023 K League 1 season regardless of the results of the remaining three games.

Pohang, who drew 1-1 in the previous day’s match against fourth-place Jeonbuk Hyundai (53 points) and whose pursuit of the lead was put on hold, cannot catch up to Ulsan even if they win all three remaining games.

Ulsan, which reached the top of the K-League in 1996 and 2005, succeeded in returning to the championship after 17 years last year, and secured first place again this year, winning its fourth championship (1996, 2005, 2022, 2023).

In particular, coach Hong Myung-bo led Ulsan to become champions for two consecutive years and became the sixth coach in history to lead the team to two consecutive wins in the K-League.

In the 40-year history of professional soccer, the coaches who have won more than two consecutive K-League titles are coach Kim Ho (1998, 1999, Suwon Samsung at the time), the late coach Park Jong-hwan (1993, 1994, 1995), and the late coach Cha Gyeong-bok (2001, 2001).

Following Seongnam Ilhwa (2002, 2003, and above), coach Choi Kang-hee (2014, 2015, 2017, 2018), coach Jose Morais (2019, 2020, and Jeonbuk Hyundai at the time), coach Hong Myung-bo (2022, 2023, Ulsan), there are only 6 people.

In addition, Ulsan achieved a single-season home attendance of 300,000 with 18,933 spectators visiting the stadium on this day.

Ulsan tried hard to break through Daegu’s thick defensive wall from the beginning of the first half, but was unable to find a way to attack, unable to create shooting opportunities.

Rather, in the 8th minute of the first half, Daegu’s Ko Jae-hyun, who was on a counterattack, allowed a fatal breakthrough and a right-footed shot, but thanks to a super save from ‘Spider Hand’ Cho Hyun-woo, the team barely escaped the risk of conceding a goal and ended the first half without scoring.

In the second half, Ulsan’s one-sided offensive and Daegu’s ‘counterattack after a player’s defense’ continued.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Ulsan lost a golden opportunity to score after Eom Won-sang cut into the right corner of the penalty area.

Ataru changed direction with his right foot from the right side of the goal area, but missed the left goal post slightly.

Coach Hong Myung-bo replaced Kim Seong-jun and replaced him with Kim Min-hyuk in the 19th minute of the second half, and this substitution became a ‘act of God.’

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Kim Min-hyuk rose up from the right side of the goal area on Ataru’s cross from the left side and hit Daegu’s net with a header.

It was Kim Min-hyuk’s ‘winning goal’ scored 4 minutes after taking the field.

Substitutes were also responsible for Ulsan’s additional goal.

Ulsan substituted Joo Min-gyu and Jang Si-young in the 39th minute of the second half, and in the 44th minute of the second half, Joo Min-gyu threw a long ball into the space behind the defense near the center line, and Jang Si-young rushed to the right of the goal area and scored a key goal, sealing the victory.

Suwon Samsung, an old club in danger of relegation, was ahead 2-0 over Daejeon Hana Citizen at its home Suwon World Cup Stadium, but ended up scoring two goals with 10 minutes left in the game, resulting in a shocking draw.

Suwon took the lead with goals from Kim Joo-chan in the 20th minute and Acosti in the 29th minute and seemed to have succeeded in getting out of last place, but was defeated by the combination play of Daejeon Massa and Thiago at the end of the game, disappointing the 10,000 fans who visited the stadium.

In the 35th minute of the second half, Thiago finished Kang Yun-seong’s cutback with a right-footed non-stop shot, giving Daejeon the first goal.

Thiago, who scored his 16th goal of the season, surpassed Ju Min-gyu (15 goals, Ulsan) and rose to the sole lead in the scoring rankings.

Then, in the 49th minute of the second half, Massa connected with a Thiago header pass in front of the goal to make it 2-2.

Suwon, who only earned 1 point, remained in last place (26 points).

The gap with Gangwon FC (27 points), which drew 1-1 with Jeju United the previous day, remained at 1 point.

At the Seoul World Cup Stadium, the home team FC Seoul won a 4-3 comeback victory over Suwon FC after a fierce battle.

Suwon FC took the lead with Lopez’s first goal in the 29th minute of the first half, but Seoul came back 3-2 in the second half thanks to the performances of Ki Sung-Yong (11 minutes), Willian (14 minutes), and Bjorn Johnson (28 goals).

In addition, Lopez’s penalty kick goal was scored in the 46th minute of the second half, and the game seemed to end in a draw.

However, just one minute later, Kim Kyung-min of Seoul scored the winning goal to heat up Sangambeol.
