The national team, which faced Uzbekistan with a salty defense, scored the first goal earlier than expected.
In the 4th minute of the first half, Jung Woo-young hit Uzbekistan’s net in a set piece situation.
Eom Won-sang accurately connected a pass aimed at the space behind the opponent to Jung Woo-young, and calmly finished with the first goal.
However, the ambush of Uzbekistan was no easy task.
In the 26th minute of the first half, they conceded a free kick goal to Uzbekistan Yaloridinov from in front of the arc, allowing the score to be tied.
This is the national team’s second goal in this tournament.
The atmosphere was in danger of being reversed at once, but Jung Woo-young once again stepped up to solve the problem.
In the 38th minute of the first half, Jung Woo-young calmly found the net in front of the goal.
This is the 7th goal of this tournament by leading scorer Jung Woo-young, who is showing off his incredible decisive power.
Uzbekistan repeatedly played rough in the second half, raising eyebrows.
After repeated dangerous tackles that caused Eom Won-sang’s injury, he was eventually sent off.
The national team continued its offensive against Uzbekistan, one player short, and advanced to the finals with a 2-1 victory.
