As soon as Kim Jin-soo’s left foot cross flew in from the right side, Jeon Byeong-kwan flew up with his back to the goal. He then scored an overhead kick with his right foot to create a thrilling comeback for Jeonbuk Hyundai. As it was the very goal where Pohang Steelers defender Park Chan-yong scored an exquisite jumping volley kick a week ago, the southern goal of the Seoul World Cup Stadium has become a more special attraction.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, led by acting coach Park Won-jae, overturned the 2024 K League 1 FC Seoul away game at 4:30 p.m. on the 20th at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, winning consecutive games and raising its ranking to 8th place (2 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses, 11 points, 13 runs).
49 minutes and 21 seconds, Jeon Byeong-gwan flies up
It was a game that proved the reason why 28,048 spectators came to the soccer field in the spring rain on Saturday afternoon. Since the two teams exchanged two goals in the first half alone, it was inevitable to think of the “FC Seoul 2-4 Pohang Steelers” game seven days ago.
An amazing goal was scored 6 minutes and 36 seconds after the game began. Jeonbuk Hyundai’s Song Min-gyu rushed to FC Seoul goalkeeper Choi Cheol-won at an incredible speed and scored an interception goal. After receiving a back pass from Kwon Wan-kyu, goalkeeper Choi Cheol-won did not miss the moment when he touched the ball to the right, and Song Min-gyu pushed a sliding shot with his right foot by a narrow margin. It seemed like a performance that matched on the grass in the rain.
FC Seoul, which accidentally gave up its first goal in front of numerous home fans, followed with a wonderful set-piece goal in 4 minutes and 5 seconds. Ki Sung-yueng put up the left corner kick with his right foot, and goaltender Ilyushchenko scored a header goal with a flash of movement.
FC Seoul, the home team that gained momentum, scored a come-from-behind goal at the 30th minute and 2nd minute. Right fullback Choi Joon saved the ball by flying it over the sideline, and Cho Young-wook helped Palosevic score a sliding goal with his left foot with a sharp early cross. It was a great scene that taught us when to need a side early cross.
The mood of FC Seoul’s reversal did not last long. More than eight minutes later, another shot was scored in the opposite goal. After receiving a bold through pass from Jeonbuk ace Song Min-gyu, Lee Young-jae perfectly slotted a mid-range shot (38:53 seconds), which showed off his left foot skills to the right corner.
FC Seoul scored another free kick set piece just before the end of the first half, as both teams lacked two goals each. Again, Ki’s right-footed kick shined Ilyushchenko’s head. As Ilyushchenko was in an off-side position, however, the flag of pride went up.
Then came the result that surprised everyone in the second half. Jeon Byeong-gwan, a new member of Jeonbuk Hyundai, scored an unbelievable super goal at the 49th minute and 21st minute. Jeonbuk captain Kim Jin-su received a cross with his left foot from the right and kicked an overhead kick with his right foot. As the angle was against the FC Seoul goal, no one could imitate the move, but Jeon’s overhead kick motion was perfect as he checked the timing of the cross and floated the body in the air.
Jeon Byung-kwan, who was born in November 2002 and moved to Daejeon Hana Citizen for three seasons with 31 games, three goals and three assists, made his debut goal in Jeonbuk Hyundai in six games. 노래방알바
FC Seoul head coach Kim Ki-dong, who had a fire on his foot, ordered a reversal drama in the rain by letting in Kim Jin-ya and Son Seung-beom in the 67th minute and Hwang Do-yoon and Dongjin Park in the 78th minute, but failed to open the Jeonbuk Hyundai goal, which goalkeeper Jung Min-ki is guarding reliably.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has risen to eighth place with a whistle of consecutive wins, will bring 11th-ranked Daegu FC to Jeonju at 2 p.m. on the 28th, while sixth-ranked FC Seoul will visit Purple Arena to meet 12th-ranked Daejeon Hana Citizen at 2 p.m. on the 27th.
