‘Best friend’ Yang Min-hyuk’s performance ignites Kang Joo-hyuk, who delivers on his ‘debut goal’ promise

Yang Min-hyuk isn’t the only star in the K League. Super rookie Kang Joo-hyuk, born in 2006, scored the winning goal to lead Seoul to its second straight Gyeongin Derby victory.

FC Seoul defeated Incheon United 1-0 in the 25th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at the Incheon Football Stadium on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The win kept Seoul unbeaten in three matches (two wins, one draw) and maintained sixth place in the Gyeongin Derby with 36 points. Incheon remained in ninth place with 25 points.

Seoul turned the tables. Seoul’s recent 1-0 win in Gimcheon was followed by a one-goal victory in the Gyeongin derby against Incheon. In particular, 2006-born Kang Joo-hyuk has been impressive, 카지노사이트 추천 scoring in two consecutive games.

While he used his explosive speed to create scoring chances in the last match against Gimcheon, this time he scored himself. In the second minute of the second half, a long ball from the right side of the box was flicked on by Ilyuchenko, which Kang caught with his head and wrapped his left foot around one defender. The ball took a fantastic trajectory and found its way into the corner of the goal. Afterward, he celebrated with the away fans in Seoul.

After the game, coach Kim Ki-dong said, “He’s a very good player for his age. But I think he still has a lot to improve. We have to praise him, but we also have to improve. I think we won the last two matches because of Joo Hyuk. I’m looking forward to seeing how much he will grow,” he said.

If Gangwon has Yang Min-hyuk, Seoul has Kang Joo-hyuk. The two players were close friends and rivals. Throughout their age-group representative careers, Kang Joo-hyuk was more highly regarded, but as Yang Min-hyuk’s meteoric rise to the professional ranks, the roles reversed. Yang recently signed a full professional contract instead of a semi-professional one, while Kang made his professional debut in May when he signed a semi-professional contract.

Currently, Yang Min-hyuk has the clear advantage. He’s been playing so well in Gangwon that he’s been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League.

“There’s something about (Yang) that makes my heart burn for him. I think we are competing in good faith. He is my closest friend from the age group national team. “Honestly, I was better in high school in every aspect,” he said, ”but at some point, he suddenly came up with a hit. Honestly, I was surprised. He’s always been a good player, he has a good sense, and he’s a good player. I think he maximized his strengths. I think he got better because he came to the pros quickly and played consistently. I want to work hard and play steadily, and I want to show my scoring ability in the next game,” he said, promising a good performance.

In the end, Kang kept his promise. After scoring his K League debut goal against Incheon, he became the second youngest player in K League history to score a goal. Born on August 27, 2006, Kang Joo-hyuk became the second youngest player to score a goal in the history of the K League, after Yang Min-hyuk (born on April 16, 2006), and proved to be a special kind of god in Seoul.
