On weekends and holidays when heavy rain fell across the country, there were a series of surprises due to underwater battles in the professional soccer K-League. Soccer fans went wild as the weak team defeated the strong team in a stadium filled with puddles of water.
South Chungcheong Asan achieved a dramatic 4-3 victory in the home game against FC Anyang in the 31st round of Hana One Q K League 2 (2nd Division) 2023 held at Asan Yi Sun-sin Stadium on the 17th.
Asan, which had been suffering from three consecutive losses, was pushed to the brink of defeat in today’s game as well. Asan, which was ahead 2-1 in the first half, was beaten 2-3 by Anyang by scoring two goals in a row.
The rain became heavier and puddles formed throughout the stadium. As the water accumulated, the ball did not roll properly. Expectations began to emerge that the game would end like this and Anyang would leap from the middle to the top. Still, Asan did not give up.
In the 44th minute of the second half, Song Seung-min dropped the ball toward the goal with his head and Park Dae-hoon caught the ball, but the trapping was long. He would have flown towards the goalkeeper, but the water would have slowed him down significantly. Dae-hoon Park quickly ran in and kicked the ball with his left foot. The score was tied 3-3.
Asan succeeded in turning the game around. In the 45th minute of the second half, Park Seong-woo cleared high in his own half. The ball bounced loudly after falling near the penalty box in the Anyang camp, passed the key of Anyang Park Seong-su’s goalkeeper, and went into the goal. The game ended with Asan’s victory.바카라
The day before, in the first division, an unexpected incident occurred during an underwater battle. Gangwon FC, who are in the bottom half of the league, defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai, a traditional powerhouse seeking to advance to the top, 3-1 in an away game.
Gangwon finished the game with a 2-1 lead in the first half, but the prevailing view was that Jeonbuk would tie the game. In fact, Jeonbuk launched a wave of attacks with Moon Seon-min at the forefront amidst the support of the home crowd.
Just when it was predicted that Jeonbuk would score, the rain became heavier. Towards the end of the second half, it rained more and more, and puddles of water formed here and there. The ball did not roll properly, making dribbling and passing impossible.
With Jeonbuk’s pass play blocked, Gangwon took advantage of the water puddle to score a key goal. In the 30th minute of the second half, Seo Min-woo made a roving pass toward Kim Dae-won in front of the goal. The ball suddenly stood up due to the impact of the puddle. Kim Dae-won, who won the ball, hit a right-footed shot. The ball hit the leg of Jeonbuk Ahn Hyun-beom and bounced wide after hitting the ground, passing goalkeeper Jeong Min-ki’s key and slotting into the goal. The game ended with Gangwon’s victory.
