The players of the Korean under-23 soccer team, who lost to Indonesia in a penalty shootout, look disappointed.
Fans who visited the stadium chanted the name of Indonesian coach Shin Tae-yong, who defeated Korea. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) also expressed surprise at the unexpected result.
The Korean U23 national team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, won 2-2 in 120 minutes of overtime in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U23 Asian Cup held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 26th (Korean time). In the penalty shootout that took place after finishing, they lost 10PSO11.
As a result, Korean soccer's challenge to make it to the Olympic finals for the 10th consecutive time, starting with the 1988 Seoul Olympics, was defeated. Korean soccer cannot compete in the Olympic finals for the first time in 40 years. It's a shocking result.
After the game, AFC highlighted the unexpected result, saying, “Korea fell victim to Indonesia after a penalty shootout drama.”
AFC said, “Indonesia lost 0-4 to Korea in March 2015 and was thwarted from advancing to the AFC U23 Asian Cup finals. However, nine years later, Indonesia won a penalty shootout against the same opponent, confirming their historic advancement to the semifinals. . “Indonesia has shown remarkable progress,” he emphasized. 파워볼사이트
He added, “With this, coach Hwang Seon-hong’s hopes of Korea’s 10th Olympic appearance have been dashed.”
Korea played a difficult game today due to coach Shin Tae-yong's tactics. They gave up the first goal and equalized with an own goal at the end of the first half, but conceded an additional goal just before the end of the first half. It was painful for Korea when striker Lee Young-jun (Gimcheon), who came on as a substitute in the second half, was sent off after a video review (VAR) in the 25th minute of the second half when the team was down 1-2. AFC also pointed out, “It did not help Korea at all that Lee Young-jun, who was the joint leading scorer in the tournament, was sent off in the 70th minute due to a VAR review.” Hwang Seon-hong-ho took the game to overtime with a dramatic equalizer from Jeong Sang-bin (Minnesota) in the second half, but was ultimately unable to tie the game at 2-2 and bowed out in a penalty shootout. AFC said, “During the game, 9,105 Indonesian fans chanted Coach Shin Tae-yong’s name,” and “Coach Shin Tae-yong, who finished runner-up in the 2016 Qatar U23 Asian Cup (as head coach of the Korean national team), reached his peak on this day (as head coach of Indonesia).” He emphasized. He then gave a thumbs up, saying, “If Coach Shin Tae-yong beats Uzbekistan or Saudi Arabia in the semifinals, he will be able to leave a new legacy in Indonesia.” Indonesia, which defeated Korea, will attempt to advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 68 years since the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Indonesia will compete with the winner of this tournament, Uzbekistan-Saudi Arabia, to advance to the finals at 11 p.m. on the 29th. 성인웹툰
