“Kim Young-kwon, I think I was full because there was nowhere to give it to me.”
This is what Ulhan Hyundai coach Hong Myung-bo said after seeing Kim Young-kwon’s (Ulsan) mid-range shot, “the first goal of the season.”
Ulsan played Suwon and K League 1 2023 Round 14 at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 6 pm on the 21st and won 3-2. With a record of 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, 37 points, they firmly maintained their lead.
Ulsan scored the first goal in the 5th minute of the first half. Rubik’s hand connected Seol Young-woo’s cross coming from the right with a left-footed non-stop shot, shaking Suwon’s net. Season 6 goal.
Suwon immediately counterattacked. In the 8th minute of the first half, Gije Lee took a free kick from a distance and sent the ball right in front of the Ulsan goal. Ahn Byung-Jun staggered through the offside trap and scored the equalizer with a low and quick shot. His 2nd consecutive goal.
Ulsan scored an additional goal. In the 40th minute of the first half, Kim Young-kwon succeeded in scoring with a long-range shot. Goalkeeper Yang Hyeong-mo tried to reach out, but the ball went to the corner of the goal that he could not block even if he knew. Kim Young-kwon’s first goal of the season.
In the second half, Suwon balanced again. In the 16th minute of the second half, Lee Gi-je took the free kick from just outside the box on the left side of Ulsan and kicked a free kick after seeing the opposite goal. Without going through anyone, the ball was sucked into the Ulsan goal. 2-2 Origin.
But Suwon’s joy did not last long. Ulsan won a penalty kick. In the 39th minute of the second half, Suwon Lee Sang-min made a deep tackle on Ulsan’s Seol Young-woo and said. Adam stepped up as the kicker and scored. The game ended as it was, and Ulsan won by one goal.
After the game, coach Hong Myung-bo said, “Both of the goals conceded came from set pieces. This year (set pieces lost) weren’t particularly many, but it’s unfortunate that we allowed two runs from set pieces today. Other than that, the players controlled the game and did well. I am satisfied with the result of winning at the venue.”안전놀이터
It is Ulsan who has broken the ‘no-win jinx’ in three consecutive away games in Suwon. Director Hong Myung-bo said, “It’s just a bad feeling to be called a jinx. I think it’s good just to get rid of it. I think it’s important to prevent our opponent from breaking our jinx in the future.”
Looking back at the conceded scene, he explained, “I scored the first goal and conceded it shortly after.
Regarding Kim Young-kwon’s ‘cannon ball mid-distance scoring’, he laughed, saying, “I think I kicked forward because there was no place to give it”, but “Kim Young-kwon’s strengths are accurate crosses and kicking power. I told the players that they should be aware of shooting before coming out today. Good shooting. I think it is,” he said.
