FC Seoul’s “Team Ki Sung-yueng” beat the “Team Hero” centered on singer Lim Young-woong after a rough-and-tumble match in a charity soccer game.
Team Ki Sung-yueng defeated Team Hero 4-3 at the Hana Bank Charitable Football Championship with Coupang Play held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on Sunday. All proceeds from the upcoming match will be used to support vulnerable groups. Lim joined retired players from the national team including Returns FC players, Cho Won-hee and Kim Young-kwang, who were originally founded by himself under the captain’s armband.
Lim Young-woong, who even performed in front of 35,000 spectators at halftime, was active in the front until the end of the game to score.
Ki assembled a group of retired players including Ko Yo-han, Lee Keun-ho, Park Ju-ho, and Jeong Jo-guk with top-ranked players from each team including Lee Chung-yong (Ulsan), Ji Dong-won (Suwon FC), and Osmar (E-Land). Soccer BJ Gamst and sports YouTuber Malwang also joined the team as members.
Team Hero scored the first goal. Oh Ban-seok scored a header with a high RBI from a corner kick to open the goal for Ki Sung-yueng, a team that goalkeeper Lee Bum-young endured. Team Ki tied the game at 11 minutes in the second half when Lee Hee-kyun, a winger of Gwangju FC, connected a pass from his teammate Jeong Ho-yeon with a cool shot.
Lim Young-woong, who mainly played on the right side, led the score to 2-1 in the 19th minute of the second half by connecting an accurate penetration pass to Jeon Won-seok, who rushed into the back space of the defense.
Then, Ki Sung-yueng also tied the game again with a goal from striker Jeong Jo-guk at the 23rd minute of the second half. Jeong Jo-guk calmly finished Lee Hee-kyun’s pass at the gate. Team Hero led 3-2 again after Jeon Won-seok headed a cross from the right side in the 38th minute of the second half.
Ki, who was serving as manager, rushed to the ground in person right after losing his third goal. Ki scored a goal with a mid-range shot just two minutes after entering the ground. He precisely hit the bottom corner of the net with his right foot from behind the penalty arc. 토토사이트
Lee Keun-ho, who was deployed as a striker in the second half while explaining the match from the relay stand, scored a come-from-behind goal in the extra time of the second half, leading to Ki’s victory in a highly competitive match. “It was an honor to be able to breathe with legendary players on the field, and I enjoyed my entire run,” Lim said in an interview with a broadcasting station after the match. “I was so happy at this moment.”
