Shin Sang-eun, who scored a goal this season, expressed her gratitude to the many people who believed in her and waited for her.
Daejeon Hana Citizen drew 2-2 with Suwon Samsung in the 21st round of the ‘Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023’ held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 7:00 pm on the 9th. Daejeon, which added 1 point, was placed 6th in the league (29 points).
On this day, Daejeon operated a 3-4-3 formation. In the front line were Kim In-gyun, Yoo Kang-hyeon, and Shin Sang-eun, while Seo Young-jae, Bae Jun-ho, Joo Se-jong, and Kang Yoon-seong played as midfielders. The three backs were paired with Anton, Kim Hyun-woo, and Lim Deok-geun. The goal was guarded by Lee Chang-geun.
The start was good. Kim In-kyun and Shin Sang-eun, who played on the left and right flanks, harassed the Suwon defense at high speed from the beginning of the first half. The opportunity came in the first two minutes. Shin Sang-eun broke through the right side and attempted a grounder cross. However, Kim In-kyun’s shot hit the crossbar.
Then, an opportunity came to Shin Sang-eun. A pass was connected at once from the back in the 13th minute of the first half. Shin Sang-eun, who caught it, ran to the goal and attempted a powerful right-footed shot. But again, the ball hit the crossbar. Daejeon scored the first goal after two unfortunate goals. Kim In-kyun, who hit the goal post first, gave the team the lead.
Shin Sang-eun, who hit the second goal post, also lightly brushed off the ‘goal post jinx’. In the 27th minute of the first half, Kang Yun-seong cut off Suwon’s attack and launched a counterattack. The ball trying to cross from outside the penalty box hit the Suwon defense and connected to Shin Sang-eun. There were no two mistakes. Shin Sang-eun broke the net with an exhilarating cannonball shot that beat the heat.
This goal was Shin Sang-eun’s first goal of the season. Shin Sang-eun was born in 1999 and joined Daejeon ahead of the 2021 season. He scored two goals in 16 K-League 2 matches in his debut season with his quick dribbling breakthrough. Last season, he also accumulated experience points by scoring one goal in 9 matches, including the promotion playoffs.
And in his third year as a pro, he entered the K-League 1 stage with Daejeon. Shin Sang-eun had played 10 out of 20 rounds before this day. Regardless of starting or replacing, he energized the match-up attack with vigorous movements whenever he appeared. His only regret was that he had no offensive points, but he relieved the burden by scoring an exciting goal against Suwon.
Shin Sang-eun, who we met in the mixed zone after the game, said, “I entered the stadium today and felt that I was in good condition. So I thought, ‘If I keep knocking, it will open.’ People have been waiting for the news of my goal. I am sorry that I scored a goal a little late. I will work harder and score more goals in the future.”

– Match impressions
Today’s match was prepared to be a bit more aggressive. The first half seems to have worked out well, but the second half is disappointing. There have been a lot of games that have been down defensively lately. So, in the 1st round-Robin, we prepared to play in the front, thinking about what we did well. I’m sorry that that part didn’t go well.
– How did you feel when you hit the goal post early in the game?
I felt like I was in good shape as I entered the stadium today. So I thought, ‘Keep knocking and it will open’. In fact, in the first shot, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the goal line once. I thought I crossed the line then. I hoped it would be a goal, but it was disappointing that the referee told me to just let the game go ahead.
– In the end, he scored a goal from a similar position. How do you feel about scoring?
In the meantime, I received a lot of opportunities, but this time I scored my first league goal. There must have been many people waiting for the news of the goal, but I feel sorry that I scored a goal a little late. I will try harder in the future so that I can score more goals.
– You showed a gesture that seemed to feel relieved after scoring?
Actually, it was a bit messy. My family, coach, and coaching staff all really believed in me. And I know very well that fans always support me. All of them flashed through my mind in an instant. Even after the game, the players congratulated them. Everyone was waiting for the news of my goal.
– U22 resources such as Bae Jun-ho and Jeon Byeong-gwan are active?
It would be a lie if I said it didn’t stimulate me. Even from my point of view, (Bae) Junho and (former) Byeonggwan seemed to have improved a lot compared to last year. So I was very motivated. I did image training while thinking many things by myself. Junho I watched all the matches. You seem to be a junior with a lot to learn from. 토토사이트주소
– What are your future goals?
There are 17 games left in the season, and if I play in the future, I want to show a good performance like today. And I want to raise as many attack points as possible. But more important than that is that the team produces good results. My first goal is to help the team. Then, personal achievements such as attack points will naturally follow.
– A word to the fans who supported us until the end?
Whether it’s when I’m sluggish or when I’m doing well, I’m really grateful that you always saddened me and liked me. In the future, I will work harder so that only good things can be done.
