[Asian Games] Women's Soccer Match between South and North Korea was Defeated 1-4... Korea Fails to Advance to Semifinals for the First Time in 25 Years

 

 

 

After Son Hwa-yeon was sent off in the 41st minute of the first half, the tide turned... Couldn't keep the first goal and conceded 3 goals in the second half

 

Women's soccer team Velho was completely defeated in the 'North-South confrontation' held in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and suffered the disgrace of failing to advance to the semifinals for the first time in 25 years.

 

The women's national soccer team, led by coach Colin Bell, lost 1-4 to North Korea in the quarterfinals of the tournament held at the Wenzhou Sports Center Stadium in Zhejiang Province, China, on the afternoon of the 30th.

 

They were unable to overcome the numerical inferiority caused by the sending off of Son Hwa-yeon (Hyundai Steel) in the 41st minute of the first half, and gave up 3 goals in the second half and bowed out. 먹튀검증가이드

 

It has been 25 years since Korean women's soccer failed to reach the semifinals of the Asian Games since the 1998 Bangkok Games, where it finished in 5th place.

 

In addition, the record of losing streak against North Korea at the Asian Games also increased.

 

We met 6 times and lost all of them.

 

The national team, which beat North Korea 1-0 in the East Asian Football Confederation Cup 18 years ago in August 2005, has struggled with 2 draws and 10 losses in the 12 times they have met since then, and was unable to smile on this day as well, going winless for the 13th game.

 

Belho, who was eliminated from the group stage at the FIFA Women's World Cup held last July with 1 draw and 2 losses, was unable to win a medal at the Asian Games and packed up early.

 

Coach Bell, who called the game against North Korea a 'must-win game', made the 'irregular move' of appointing Park Eun-sun (Seoul City Hall), who played as a striker, as the last defender.

 

Instead, the active Son Hwa-yeon was placed at the forefront, and Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham City) and Cheon Garam (Hwacheon KSPO) were assigned to attack the flanks.

 

Park Eun-sun went up to the front line in set-piece situations and showed the power of her height of over 180 cm.

 

When a corner kick was awarded in the 11th minute of the first half, Park Eun-sun competed in front of the goal, blocking the view of Lee Hye-kyung (Yallugang), who was behind it, and Lee Hye-kyung was unable to properly handle the ball and scored an own goal.

 

‘Powerful’ North Korea, which won the Asian Games in 2002, 2006, and 2014, brought the game back to square one in 9 minutes.

 

Lee Hak (4, 25), wearing number 10, kicked a right-footed free kick from the left side of the penalty area into the top corner of the opposite goal, making the score 1-1.

 

The tight balance of the game suddenly tilted in favor of North Korea from the 41st minute of the first half.

 

Son Hwa-yeon, who received a warning once in the 12th minute of the first half, collided with opposing goalkeeper Kim Eun-hwi (my hometown) during an aerial duel in the 40th minute of the first half.

 

A collision occurred at the midpoint between Kim Eun-hwi, who was trying to move forward and hit the ball, and Son Hwa-yeon, who was rushing forward, and the referee did not hesitate to issue a yellow card to Son Hwa-yeon.

 

As Son Hwa-yeon left the field after receiving a warning, Bellho, who was outnumbered, began to struggle.

 

The national team, unable to find a proper offensive opportunity in the second half and focusing on defense, ended up giving up a comeback goal in the 36th minute of the second half.

 

In a mixed situation in the penalty area, Choi Geum-ok (nae hometown) saved the ball and passed it to An Myeong-seong (Yalokgang), who stretched out his right foot and pushed it in, opening the goal guarded by Kim Jeong-mi (Hyundai Steel).

 

With North Korea gaining momentum, in the 45th minute of the second half, Ri Hak scored a surprise right-footed mid-range shot from behind the penalty arc to put a wedge in the game.

 

Korea even gave a penalty kick in the extra time of the second half after it was determined that veteran defender Kim Hye-ri (Hyundai Steel) was hit on the hand while handling the ball in the penalty area.

 

Kim Gyeong-young (my hometown), who took the kicker, calmly kicked the ball, completing North Korea's 4-1 victory.
