Additional time in the second half when FC Seoul led Gimcheon Sangmu 1-0 at Gimcheon Stadium on Wednesday. With Kim Bong-soo in Gimcheon and Choi Jun in Seoul jostling for a ball near the goal line, referee Ko Hyung-jin was about to blow the whistle at the end of the match. Suddenly, Kim pushed Choi Jun roughly, and the players from both teams collided suddenly. The referee rushed to restrain Choi, but not only the players on the ground but also players on the bench and coaching staff crowded in, making a mess. Even Gimcheon coach Chung Jung-yong and Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong tried their best to stop the players, but the mood did not calm down. Just as the situation was about to be settled, Chung had an argument with Seoul captain Jesse Lingard.메이저놀이터
While Seoul led by Lucas' first goal in the 35th minute of the second half, Gimcheon, which made an all-out offensive, seemed to be catching up with Seo Min-woo's equalizer in the 49th minute of the second half. However, the referee made a public declaration after VAR. Prior to scoring a point, Gimcheon's Park Chan-yong committed a pushing foul to Seoul's Jung Seung-won in the process of getting the ball. In the resumed game, when Kim Bong-soo, who won the ball that Seoul players were spinning from the side, kicked Kim Bong-soo's right foot from the back. Kim immediately rushed to Choi Joon and led to a bench clearing situation.
It was the last minute of the game where emotions intensified. While Kim was holding the ball, Choi Jun's play that he kicked in the back was an obvious foul. The referee also issued a warning after the situation was over. However, Kim's response was not appropriate. The act of rushing while pushing the opponent team was hardly justified as desperation.
Chung and Lingard focused on calming down players' excitement at the beginning of the competition. However, as the situation was nearing an end, Chung suddenly got into a fight in front of the bench. Chung showed excitement while pointing a finger at Lingard, and the coach responded without losing. Chung did not elaborate on what he said during the confrontation with Lingard. "I didn't hear about it exactly, but when I checked after the situation was over, I think there was a misunderstanding. It wasn't a big deal," coach Kim Ki-dong said. However, Chung said, "A quality athlete should have sportsmanship. I am disappointed in that aspect." He added, "Players have a lot of emotions. There seem to be mixed feelings in many ways."
Before he was a player, it has been rare to see the Gimcheon squad, a soldier, get excited enough to even do bench clearing. Considering the league's ranking and recent trends, it is difficult to understand that it was simply a scene created by "desire for victory." Then, what made Gimcheon players feel better? It was worth inferring the answer from coach Chung Jung-yong's words, "There are players who are discharged from the military after today's game (against Seoul)." Kim Bong-soo, who was the starting point of the clash, and Mo Jae-hyun, who played full-time on the day, will be discharged on June 3. It was the last game against Seoul as a member of Gimcheon. There might have been a great desire to finish with victory with the players who were in the internal team. However, the method was radical.
The situation will be reported to the Korea Professional Football Association through a report by a supervisor who watched the game on the spot and a report by a referee. It remains to be seen what the federation will make in the future.
