2-1 comeback to win the championship! South Korean team carnival: Asian Games men's football team 3 consecutive championships, no need to be a soldier
October 7, Asian Games men's football final, South Korea VS Japan. Trailing 0-1, Jung Youying and Cao Yongxu scored two goals in a row, and South Korea defeated Japan 2-1 to win the gold medal of the Asian Games men's football team for the sixth time, and staged the feat of winning the Asian Games men's football team for three consecutive times. This gold medal means that famous generals such as Li Gangren, Zheng Youying, and Bai Shenghao have been exempted from military service.
In this year's Asian Games men's football competition, the South Korean team led by Jung Youying and Lee Gang-in is the number one favorite to win the championship; The Japanese team is younger, does not call up over-age internationals, and is all "post-01" players. In this final, South Korea's Lee Gang-in, Jung You-ying, Baek Seung-ho, and Cho Yong-wook all started.
Just 2 minutes into the game, Japan broke the deadlock: in the midst of the chaos, Kotaro Uchino scored hard to give Japan a 1-0 lead!
In the 27th minute, South Korea equalized: Baek Seung-ho continued to make flashes and moves in the box, but failed to open up space. South Korea's second attack, Jung Youying received a cross header to break the net, and the two teams returned to the same running line 1-1!
Jung Youying scored his eighth goal of the Asian Games, and the Korean team was excited, constantly encouraging the Korean fans to celebrate. South Korea is desperate for this victory - star players such as Lee Gang-in and Jung Youying need Asian Games gold medals to be exempt from military service.
As the number one star of the men's football team of this Asian Games, Li Gangren, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, has obvious personal ability. However, Li Gangren was strictly defended by Japan, and it was difficult to create a chance to break the goal. In the first half, the two teams tied 1-1.
Yibian fought again, in the 56th minute, the South Korean team overtook the score: Lee Gang-in created chaos in the Japanese defense, Cho Yongxu calmly pushed and shot, South Korea led 2-1!
Cao Yongxu
In the 62nd minute, South Korea replaced top scorer Jung Youying; After 10 minutes, Lee was substituted. In this game, the South Korean team fought very fiercely, and the two ace stars were also a little tired. Japan ran out of five substitutions early in an attempt to make a last-ditch effort.
In the 82nd minute, South Korea almost killed Suspense, Yan Won-sang deftly received the ball and then shot with his left foot, and Fujita and Hui Fei saved to defuse the danger.
After 6 minutes of injury time, the game is over! 2-1, South Korea defeated Japan and won the Asian Games men's gold medal! The whole Korean team reveled, and joy was written on their faces. After winning the championship in 1970, 1978, 1986, 2014 and 2018, the South Korean team won the Asian Games men's gold medal for the sixth time, completing the feat of winning three consecutive championships.
For Li Gangren, Zheng Youying, Bai Shenghao and Song Minkui, more important than the Asian Games gold medal is the privilege of exemption from military service. 26-year-old captain Baek Seung-ho, 28-year-old defender Park Jin-seop, 24-year-old Sit Young-woo are still over-age players playing in the Asian Games men's football competition, and exemption from military service is even rarer.
