Jinju Citizen Football Club Achieves Dramatic 3-2 Victory Over Chuncheon Football Club in K4 League Opening Match
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City in Gyeongnam announced on the 14th that its citizen football team won 3-2 against Chuncheon Citizen Football Team in the opening match of the 2021 K4 League held on the afternoon of the 13th at Chuncheon Songam Sports Town.
The opposing team in this opening match, Chuncheon Citizen Football Team, was founded in 2010 and is a dark horse team that achieved runner-up in the K3 League just two years after joining. Although they consistently ranked in the upper tier every year, they finished 15th in last year's K3 League and were relegated to the K4 League this year.
This year, Jinju Citizen Football Team, having recruited excellent players, formed a starting lineup in a 4-3-3 formation. They induced defensive mistakes from the opponent through strong pressure right from the start of the first half, and player Hwang Yu-seung scored a goal just 2 minutes into the game to take the lead.
Afterwards, they conceded an equalizing goal to Chuncheon Citizen Football Team, and although player Jeong Jun-hyun scored an additional goal in the 8th minute of the second half to take the lead again, they conceded once more, making the score 2-2. The fiercely contested match was ultimately decided when player Lee Min-woo calmly converted a penalty kick awarded just before the end, finishing 3-2.
Jinju Mayor and club owner Jo Gyu-il congratulated the victory, saying, "I am grateful to the players for delivering a good result in the league opener, and I will continue to support the passionate enthusiasm and relentless challenges of Jinju Citizen Football Team in 2021."
