The captain, who defended the team's rise with a theatrical goal, smiled broadly.
Incheon United beat Suwon FC 2-1 in the 28th round of Hana One Q K League 1 2023 at Suwon Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 25th.
As a result, Incheon regained fourth place with 40 points. Suwon FC regained the 10th place with 26 points.
Captain Oh Ban-seok finished the game. Oh Ban-seok scored the header winning goal just before the end of the game, giving Incheon three points. After scoring, he ran to the stands and cheered. Incheon away fans were greeted with enthusiastic shouts and applause.
In an interview with Su-hoon after the game, Oh Ban-seok said, "I expected a tough game. There was a lot of pain due to losing points in extra time this season. "I'm glad I put it in and won the game this time," he said.
Incheon has been on the rise since July. He had six wins, two draws and one loss in the K League 1. It came up to fourth place before I knew it. Oh Ban-seok said, "The good atmosphere was naturally formed. We talked a lot even when it wasn't good. There are senior players. Mercenaries are also doing their part well. "I think it's the process of becoming a strong team," he said.
There are three competitions at the same time. Incheon won a ticket to the finals by winning the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Champions League (ACL) playoffs with Haiphong. The Korea Football Association (FA) Cup is also in the semifinals. Oh Ban-seok said, "The team changes only when young players come up. Rather than speaking loudly, I try to show it as a senior. "When I think about today's game, I think I played a role as a senior and a father," he said with a smile. 스포츠중계
As for the theater goal, "I was stressed about scoring set pieces. He also gave a lot of details of the game to Suwon FC. There were parts that were not satisfactory. Luckily, the kick flew to me. I was able to connect with a goal," he recalled. There was a VAR situation right after scoring, but he was calm. Oh Ban-seok said, "I thought there was no problem. I took the goal for granted. I was leaving it to heaven," he said with a smile.
With the history of the club. Incheon will compete in the ACL finals for the first time since its foundation. Yokohama F.It was in a group with Marinos (Japan), Shandong Taishan (China), and Kaya FC-Iloilo (Philippines). Regarding the results of the group formation, Oh Ban-seok said, "The team evaluated it as okay. The distance is also close. The J-League was a team that had to meet anyway. The atmosphere seemed to be that we should confront each other. I won the match against Haiphong and saw the result. I can't help but think of ACLs. "I think I have to prepare well within the team to take victory at the same time as the league," he vowed.
