"I only laughed because the third goal was canceled."
It was a very difficult happy ending. Lee Ho-jae (25, Pohang Steelers) has emerged as a hero after hearing the third goal cancellation and the risk of missing a penalty kick.
The Pohang Steelers came from behind to win 2-1 against FC Anyang in the eighth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at Stillyard in Pohang on the 12th.
Pohang has been undefeated in six matches (three wins and three draws), recovering from its poor performance in the early days of this season. The team has jumped to fifth place with 12 points (three wins, three draws and two losses). Anyang, on the other hand, failed to keep its first goal and ranked eighth with nine points (three wins and five losses).
Lee Ho-jae was the hero of the match. His score was canceled three times, and he almost missed a penalty kick from his teammate. However, he scored the come-from-behind winning goal and led his team to victory.
Lee Ho-jae's bad luck started in the fourth minute of the first half. He shook the net with a sharp turning shot that penetrated the corner of the goal from inside the box. However, in the previous scene, Oberdan was declared a handball foul. Of course, Lee Ho-jae's goal was canceled.
Anyang, which overcame the crisis, scored the first goal. In the 14th minute of the first half, Han Hyun-seo hung Mo-ta from the box and the referee immediately declared a penalty. Mo-ta, who was the kicker himself, calmly kicked the ball and reported his third goal of the season.
Lee Ho-jae broke the net once again. He drilled the goalkeeper with a powerful mid-range shot from outside the box in the 27th minute. The ball deflected off Juninho's body and headed to an unstoppable corner. This time, however, it was canceled due to Juninho's offside.
This was not the end of the game. In the extra time of the first half, Juningyo scored an early cross into the box, and Kim Young-chan's ball hit Lee Ho-jae's body to enter the goalpost. However, the score was not scored again this time. VAR declared Lee Ho-jae's handball foul.
He almost missed the penalty kick. Lee Ho-jae played as the kicker for the penalty kick that Juninho earned in the 26th minute of the second half. However, his shot was blocked by Anyang goalkeeper Hwang Byeong-geun and hit the post.
I wondered if this would remain Lee Ho-jae's worst day. However, a reversal occurred. Hwang was instructed to kick again when he took off his foot before shooting. Lee Ho-jae did not miss his second chance, scoring a clean goal and finally regaining his laughter.
"It would have been nice if I scored faster, but I'm sad that my goals were canceled a lot. Still, I'm glad that my team won at the end," Lee said after the game. "If my second goal had been canceled, I would have cried (at the half-time locker room). But when my third goal was canceled, I could only smile." 토토사이트
Lee Ho-jae also said, "I had a good shooting sense during this week's training. I thought I could score a lot as I hit the first shot well. But things didn't go my way," and added, "I will make sure to score as many goals as I want in the next game."
