K1 League: The "vice-squad leader" changed hands, and Daejeon defeated Daegu to end the losing streak
On June 2, local time in South Korea, a "relegation battle" in the 16th round of the K1 League was contested at the Daejeon World Cup Arena. "Vice squad leader" Daejeon Asiana Citizens welcomed the challenge of second-to-last Daegu FC at home, and before this game, both teams were on a two-game losing streak, so who will be the first to get out of the quagmire has become the focus of contention between the two sides. In this game, both sides started with 3 defenders, both tried to strengthen the attack, but Daejeon was slightly inferior in strength and was completely suppressed by Daegu, Daegu's shots were as high as 8 times in the half, but they were all defused by Daejeon goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun.
In the second half, Daegu continued to attack and missed several chances in quick succession. In the 67th minute, Daejeon sent Yoon Mournong-yong, a young player from the U17 national team, on the field, and his appearance became a turning point in the game. In the 84th minute, Yoon Mourning-yong used his speed to break through to the penalty area and crossed, and center forward Mlafa scored with a header, and Daejeon took the lead in a passive situation, and finally Daejeon won 1-0. Before Hwang Sun-hong took office, Daejeon successfully got rid of the position of "deputy squad leader", and Daegu unfortunately came to the bottom again.
In the other two games, Gangwon FC defeated Jeju United 2-1 away to move up to fourth place with a four-game winning streak. FC Seoul lost 1-2 at home to Gwangju FC, which lost in a row, and lost five consecutive defeats at home, and Kim Ki-dong had no choice but to accept such a result.
K2 League: Anyang returned to the top of the table with a home win over the opponent
Yesterday, Jeonnam Tianlong rose to the top of the table through a comeback, which also gave enough motivation to Anyang, who played today. In the home match against Chungbuk Cheongju FC, Anyang took the initiative from the beginning and quickly took a 2-0 lead at half-time.
Since there was no pressure of relegation, Chungbuk Cheongju FC was also willing to "go with the flow", and there was not much confrontation between the two sides in the second half. In the end, Anyang won 2-0 and returned to the top of the table.
In the other two games, Suwon Samsung Blue Wings, who changed their coach, drew 1-1 away to Busan IPark, and Suwon continued its seven-game winless run. The other game was played in high extra time, due to the long VAR time, Cheonancheng played a long 22 minutes of stoppage time between Chungnam Asan FC, and finally in the 11th minute of stoppage time, Lee Eun-fan completed the stunner, and Chungnam Asan won away.
The gap is obvious! South Korea Women's Football Team lost 0-4 to the United States in the first game of the friendly match
On the afternoon of June 1, local time in the United States, the South Korean women's football team and the United States women's football team played a warm-up game in Colorado, which was also the first game led by the new coach of the American women's football team Hayes before the Olympic Games. In the list of going to the United States, the Korean women's football team has a number of young faces born in 2000, which is also the first time that the Korean women's football team has played against the United States women's football team. From the beginning, the South Korean women's football team played proactively, with a long-range shot and a close-range shot that made the American women's football team break out in a cold sweat. However, after stabilizing the situation, the strong U.S. women's football team quickly took the initiative, and they continued to use their individual ability and speed to attack South Korea's defense, resulting in the defense of South Korea's back five being scattered.
After Kim Jong-mi struggled to block the opponent's shot and escaped, in the 34th ~ 38th minute, the U.S. women's football team won two consecutive games, two of which were caused by South Korea's own mistakes, leading 2-0 at halftime.
Entering the second half, South Korea replaced a newcomer to strengthen the attack, but goalkeeper Kim Jong-mi made a mistake that caused the U.S. women's football team to use a corner kick to take another goal at the beginning, 3-0! The South Korean women's football team's backline, which was behind by a large score, continued to make passing errors, and was beaten by the opponent again, 0-4! The two sides, which were very different in strength, ended in a crushing defeat for South Korea.
Whether it is individual ability or passing ability, the South Korean women's football team is far behind its opponents. On the 5th, the two sides will play the second game in Minnesota, and it is hoped that the young players of South Korea can play better.
