Korean women's soccer player who was 'knocked out' cried at the incomprehensible decision
he Republic of Korea women's national soccer team, led by coach Colin Bell, played against North Korea in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games at 5:30 pm (Korean time) on the 30th at the Wenzhou Sports Center Stadium in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, and lost 1-4.
Korea took the opportunity first. Son Hwa-yeon, who caught the ball passed away in the 6th minute of the first half, quickly penetrated into the box and caught the ball. However, No. 20 Lee Hye-kyung caught him with her hand and knocked him down. However, no foul was called.
Still, the first goal belonged to Korea. In the 11th minute of the first half, Ji So-yeon's corner kick from the right side hit Lee Hye-kyung's body and rolled into the goal. The 60 or so North Korean cheering squad that appeared at the stadium fell silent for a moment.
Afterwards, the North Korean players focused on stealing the ball from South Korea with rough tackles. During this process, there were also two-footed tackles against players including Ji So-yeon.
North Korea struck a balance. North Korea, who had a free kick opportunity in the danger zone in the 20th minute of the first half, used number 10 Lee Hak as the kicker, and Lee Hak succeeded in scoring with a direct shot.
In the 41st minute, nearing the end of the first half, an incomprehensible decision was made. Son Hwa-yeon, who was struck in the face by the goalkeeper's hand during a contested situation, was sent off due to accumulated warnings. Son Hwa-yeon attempted a header at the flying ball in a scoring opportunity, but was hit on the arm by goalkeeper Kim Eun-hwi. However, the referee instead ordered Son Hwa-yeon to leave.
Afterwards, North Korea’s ‘unmannered play’ continued. In aerial ball situations, the Korean player was deliberately left out of contention, and in particular, in the 43rd minute of the first half, the team's key player, Ji So-yeon, dropped significantly and the game was stopped for a while.
In a situation where one person was lacking, South Korea was busy preventing North Korea's attack. Jeon Eun-ha, who was at the forefront, and Jang Seul-gi, who was on the flank, often looked for opportunities to counterattack, but they were always blocked by North Korea's defense.
The difficult-to-understand decisions continued in the second half. In the 27th minute of the second half, Jeon Eun-ha was pushed down by the defense while dribbling inside the North Korean penalty box, but the whistle was not blown. 토토랭크
In the end, South Korea, which was struggling, gave up additional goals to North Korea's No. 11 An Myeong-seong and Ri Hak, and conceded a penalty kick to Kim Kyung-young in extra time in the second half, losing 1-4.
