The national soccer team’s frontline striker Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City) scored his first goal since advancing to England.
Hwang Ui-jo scored in the 14th round away game of the 2023-24 English Professional Football Championship (Second Division) against Sunderland held at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, England on the 29th (Korean time).
Hwang Ui-jo’s goal came in the 23rd minute of the first half when the score was 0-0. Callen Fisher’s low pass from the right flank was connected to Hwang Ui-jo, who was in front of the danger zone, and he hit the net with a right-footed shot without delay.
This is the first time that Hwang Ui-jo, who entered the English stage last summer, has tasted a goal. He joined Premier League club Nottingham Forest last season and was immediately loaned to Olympiacos (Greece), so he had no opportunity to step onto the English stage. Afterwards, he was loaned from FC Seoul and played in the K League.짱구카지노
He returned to Nottingham last July and competed for the starting position, but it was not easy, and he eventually joined Championship team Norwich City on a one-year loan, gradually increasing his playing time. This season, Hwang Ui-jo has recorded 1 goal and 1 assist in 9 regular league games.
Meanwhile, Norwich City was unable to keep Hwang Ui-jo’s score and gave up three more goals to lose 1-3. They recorded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses, placing them in 17th place in the championship with 17 points. Sunderland, who increased their season points to 22 with the victory, rose to 7th place (7 wins, 1 draw, 6 losses).
