No toleration! Incheon United will sue fans for throwing water bottles
The "Gyeongin Derby" in the 2024 season made headlines due to the uncalm behavior of Incheon fans after the game, and because it hit FC Seoul player Ki Seong-yong, according to the league's regulations, Incheon United will most likely be punished with an empty field. On May 12, Incheon issued a joint statement strongly condemning fans who threw water bottles at the stadium and said that it would strengthen the supervision of the safety of the competition area in the future and would not forgive the perpetrators. The Korean Players' Union also issued a statement at the first time, strongly condemning Incheon's behavior of throwing water bottles and injuring players, believing that "violence against athletes" is unacceptable.
On the 13th, Incheon United issued another statement, saying that it hoped that fans who threw water bottles would go to Incheon United Club to "turn themselves in". Since the club is a membership system, and the stand of the incident happens to be the "diehard" area of the Incheon United Stadium, the security of the Incheon Club United Stadium has called up the monitoring of the game, and if the perpetrator does not "turn himself in", then the Incheon Club will find out according to the surveillance, and after canceling his membership, he will also be prosecuted to the judicial authorities.
In addition, the league is also investigating the provocative behavior of Seoul goalkeeper Baek Beom, and according to past practice, Baek Beom may be fined 2.5 million won by referring to "unsportsmanlike behavior" in the charter. Baek Fan also apologized to the Incheon fans in the mixed area after the game, saying that his behavior was inappropriate and hurt the feelings of the Incheon fans, and hoped that everyone could forgive him and promise that the incident would not happen again in the future.
The Korean Football Association's Reward and Punishment Committee will make a decision this week, and we will continue to monitor the matter. In all probability, Incheon United's home stadium will be deprived of the 2024 Fair Play Award and the selection of the cleanest stadium, and it is also a high probability that the competition area will be penalized. Undoubtedly, the Incheon club paid a high price because of the uncalm of the fans, and the business losses are incalculable.
Battle of Fate! Under-17 Women's Asian Cup South Korea meets Japan
With Japan's U17 women's football team beating China 4-0 on May 13, South Korea's opponents in the semi-finals are officially announced, and they are the Japanese women's football team. The semi-finals of the Indonesia U17 Women's Asian Cup will be a battle of fate for the South Korean women's football team, and since only the top three have advanced to the U17 World Cup, South Korea will have to go all out in the semi-finals against Japan if they want to advance.
Although in the group stage, the South Korean U17 women's football team achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, especially the 1-1 draw with the Philippines in the final game, which surprised the outside world. In the semi-finals against a strong Japan, although the probability of advancing is slim, no one wants to leave regrets.
In the key battle, 1 goal and 1 assist, Cho Gyu-sung kept his hopes of winning the championship
We turn our attention finally to Europe. The title race in the final rounds of the Danish Super League was white-hot, with Brondby losing 3-1 to Copenhagen, which had been leading the way, which also gave Midtjylland a chance to counterattack. On the evening of May 12, Denmark local time, in the 7th round of the 2023-24 Danish Super League championship group play-offs, Midtjylland hosted Aarhus Sports, in the 24th minute, Cao Gyucheng, who started the game, received a pass from his teammates on the left side, and the opponent's goalkeeper and defender made a judgment error, and Cao Gyucheng scored the ball into the goal after getting the ball, which was also his 12th goal this season.
Eight minutes later, Cho Gyu-sung set up a team-mate's goal with a header, and finally with his excellent performance, Midtjylland beat their opponents 2-1. Tied on points with Copenhagen in the standings, they regained their hopes of winning the title. On May 16, Cho Gyu-sung will lead the team to challenge Copenhagen away, whether he can regain the top spot, success or failure in one fell swoop!
