Chung Jung-yong earns his first win as head coach. It was “Shooting Monster” Cho Young-wook who made Chung smile.
Gimcheon won 3-2 at home against Ansan Greeners FC in the 17th round of the Hana OneQ K League 2 2023 at Gimcheon Sports Complex at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Gimcheon ended a four-match winless streak and recorded its first win under head coach Jung Jung-yong.
Prior to this game, Gimcheon had been in a long goal drought since the 12th round match against Seongnam FC. They had played to goalless draws in two consecutive home matches against FC Anyang and Chungbuk Cheongju, and lost 0-1 against Jeonnam Dragons. Kim Ji-hyun, the team’s main gun, left the team for another country, leaving a gap in Gimcheon’s front line.
Coach Jung Jung-yong used Cho Young-wook in the front line against Ansan. After Kim Ji-hyun’s departure, Cho moved from the side to the center of the field. However, he was unlucky with his goal in the previous match. Against the Ansan defense, Cho had a wide radius of action and was able to create cracks. In the 23rd minute, he assisted Kim Min-jun’s goal with an exquisite pass.
Three minutes into first-half stoppage time, Cho finally got his goal. He neatly converted a penalty kick earned by Kang Hyun-mook to tie the game. It was Gimcheon’s first goal in four games and Cho’s first goal at home this season. After tasting the goal, Cho Young-wook battled with the Ansan defenders in the box and looked to score again.
In the 39th minute of the second half, Cho went to hell and back. He blew a penalty kick opportunity earned by Lee Jun-seok, but the goalkeeper Lee Seung-bin’s feet came off the line first, giving him another chance. Cho Young-wook took the chance again, and this time he converted to complete his multi-goal performance. Gimcheon went on to beat Ansan with a dramatic goal from Dui-min to claim all three points, breaking their goal drought with three goals in one game.메이저놀이터
