While Ji So-yeon (Suwon FC) was out due to injury, Lee Geum-min’s shoulders were heavier. While he defended the midfield, he needed to add sharpness to his attacks. Lee Geum-min, who warmed up with a sharp mid-range shot at the beginning of the game, showed destructive power in the second half.
In the 13th minute of the second half with the score trailing 1-2, Park Eun-seon (Seoul City Hall)’s header pass was connected with a volley. He missed a bit, but it was enough to split the net. Lee Geum-min, who made a tie, even managed to turn the tables on himself. In the 17th minute of the second half, after getting out between the three defenders, he scored the winning goal with a right-footed shot that landed low.
After the game, Lee Geum-min laughed in the mixed zone, saying, “I am grateful that I was able to spend my birthday in a good atmosphere.”
Lee Geum-min’s performance in the second half was played by Park Eun-seon’s high right to deliver. Lee Geum-min boasted of his extraordinary teamwork, saying, “Park Eun-seon’s aerial ball is good, so I trusted him unconditionally,” and “a good opportunity led to a goal.”
Korea will play another friendly against Zambia. On the 11th, they will move to Yongin Mir Stadium to prepare for the second clash. Regarding Zambia, Geum-min Lee said, “It was a team with weaknesses, but strengths outweighed them.” He added, “I think I’ll have to deal with it now and play smart.”
Lastly, Lee Geum-min said, “As the World Cup gets closer and closer, I can feel it.”
