Jeonbuk and Ulsan, who failed to win the first ‘Hyundai Derby’ this season, will decide who will advance to the semifinals in the second leg of the quarterfinals held at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 12th.
Jeonbuk entered the ‘Hyundai derby’ with a 4-4-2 tactic, entrusting Song Min-gyu and Thiago as the two top strikers and Kim Tae-hwan, who transferred from Ulsan, as the right full-back. 카지노사이트
In response, Ulsan used a 4-2-3-1 tactic with last season’s K-League 1 top scorer Joo Min-gyu as the lone striker and Kim Ji-hyun and Eom Won-sang on the left and right wings.
In the early stages of the game, Jeonbuk took the lead with right wing Lee Dong-jun’s fast penetration into the back space.
Jeonbuk scored a goal in the 4th minute of the first half, and the star was Song Min-gyu.
Lee Dong-jun received a pass from central midfielder Lee Soo-bin, broke through to the right side and made a strong cross, and Song Min-gyu, who quickly rushed to the front of the goal, changed the direction of the ball with his right foot and succeeded in scoring.
Jeonbuk, who harassed Ulsan’s defense with a quick counterattack, took the opportunity to score an additional goal when Lee Dong-jun induced a penalty kick in the 22nd minute of the first half.
The moment Lee Dong-Jun attempted to catch a cross from midfield on the right side of the penalty area, Ulsan midfielder Lee Myung-Jae, who was trying to stop him, hit his chest with his left foot and collapsed.
The referee immediately declared a penalty kick.
Thiago, who was recruited from Daejeon Hana Citizen and ranked second in scoring in K-League 1 last season, played as a kicker and attempted to score his first goal since his transfer, but failed to score as his right-footed shot hit the crossbar.
Ulsan, where ‘goal scorer’ Joo Min-kyu had little chance to catch the ball, was most disappointed when Eom Won-sang’s right-footed shot, which broke through to the right of the penalty area in extra time in the first half, was blocked by the goalkeeper.
As the second half began, Ulsan attempted to turn things around by substituting Ataru and Kim Min-woo, the ‘first goal scorers’ of this season’s K League 1, while Jeonbuk countered by replacing midfielder Lee Dong-jun, who helped score the first goal, with midfielder Han Kyo-won.
In the 6th minute of the second half, Ulsan lost a chance to score a decisive equalizer when central defender Hwang Seok-ho, who took part in the attack during a left corner kick situation, slightly missed Jeonbuk’s right goal post.
The 19th minute of the second half, Ulsan strengthened its front-line attack by replacing attacking midfielder Kim Min-hyuk, who suffered bleeding after being stepped on during a goal-fight, with striker Martin Adam.
In the 26th minute of the second half, Martin Adam received Ataru’s penetration pass and attempted a left-footed shot from the penalty area, aiming straight at the goalkeeper, failing to capitalize on the opportunity.
Jeonbuk, which had faltered for a while, was disappointed that in the 30th minute of the second half, Park Jin-seop’s surprise left-footed mid-range shot near the penalty arc was aimed at the left corner of Ulsan’s goal,
but was blocked by a superb save by Ulsan’s ‘Spider Hand’ Cho Hyun-woo.
In the end, Ulsan took advantage of an invisible mistake by the Jeonbuk defense and succeeded in scoring the tying goal.
In the 32nd minute of the second half, defender Jeong Tae-wook fell and kicked the ball in front of Jeonbuk’s goal, and it landed on the toes of Ulsan’s Lee Myung-jae, who was on the left side of the penalty area.
Lee Myung-jae scored with a right-footed shot to bring the game back to square one.
Jeonbuk’s Ahn Hyun-beom’s shot missed the goal in the 40th minute of the second half, and Ulsan’s left-footed mid-range shot in the 41st minute of the second half was blocked by the goalkeeper, ultimately losing the game at 1-1.
Basketball Team KCC, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong
Professional Basketball KCC, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong Injury side by Side, Bad News
Busan KCC, a professional basketball team, faced the unfortunate news of injury to its MVP duo, Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong.
KCC lost 69-90 in the game against Seoul SK held at Jamsil Student Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 3rd with Song Kyo-chang absent.
Song Kyo-chang could not play in the game due to toe pain.
A KCC official explained, “I am experiencing pain in my right big toe, but it currently looks like it will take more than two weeks.” 안전 슬롯사이트
Choi Jun-yong played 24 minutes and 57 seconds in the game on the 3rd, scoring 5 points and 7 rebounds, but due to an injury to his left wrist, he will not be able to play for the time being.
Choi Jun-yong is expected to be able to return to the court earlier than Song Kyo-chang, and it is likely that it will take about two weeks.
Song Kyo-chang was the regular league MVP (MVP) in the 2020-2021 season, and Choi Jun-yong was the regular league MVP in the 2021-2022 season during his SK days.
Song Kyo-chang was scheduled to join the team after completing his military service during the season and Choi Jun-yong wore the Busan KCC uniform as a free agent (FA), so KCC was called a ‘super team’ even before the opening of the 2023-2024 season.
In addition to these, the existing lineup of Heo Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, and La Gun-ah, as well as new foreign player Alize DeShawn Johnson, formed an ultra-luxurious lineup.
However, KCC is not performing as expected, staying in 5th place with 23 wins and 20 losses.
There is a 3-game gap with 4th place SK (27 wins, 18 losses), and there is no gap with 6th place Ulsan Hyundai Mobis (24 wins, 21 losses).
Fortunately, they are ahead of 7th place Daegu Korea Gas Corporation (18 wins, 27 losses) by 6 games, so there is a high possibility that they will advance to the semifinal playoffs despite the absence of Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong.
Song Kyo-chang and Choi Jun-yong are expected to join the playoffs, which begin in early April, but it is unclear how much of their skills they will display as they have only just returned from injury.
Choi Jun-yong and Song Kyo-chang’s physical condition is expected to be a variable in whether KCC, which received a lower-than-expected score in the regular league, will be able to turn things around in the playoffs.
