[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Hwang Hee-chan scored the winning goal in the 5th minute of the second half during the 2019-2020 OFB Cup semifinal against LSKA Linz at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria, on the 6th (Korean time).

On this day, Hwang Hee-chan scored his 13th goal of the season, marking his second consecutive game with goals. This followed his multi-goal performance against Rheindorf Altach on the 3rd, making it his 13th goal of the season.

After a goalless first half, Salzburg found themselves on the counterattack in the 5th minute of the second half. At this moment, Patson Daka (22, Zambia) passed a through ball from the back to Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang had already evaded the last defender and goalkeeper, positioning himself on the right flank, and received Daka's pass to score the winning goal with a right-footed shot.

Salzburg held onto Hwang Hee-chan's winning goal and secured a ticket to the Austrian Football Association (OFB) Cup final. This achievement marked their seventh consecutive final appearance.

Later, Hwang Hee-chan was substituted in the 38th minute of the second half due to thigh pain and could not play the full match, but he celebrated the team's victory by being carried onto the field on a teammate's back, sharing his joy.
