Sunmoon University beat Dongmyeong University, a new team, to win its third consecutive Taebaek Mountain Range. Sunmoon University won the final round of the 「19th Taebaek Mountain Age 1st and 2nd Grade College Football Federation」 held at Taebaek Sports Complex in Taebaek City, Gangwon Province by a score of 3-2. Dongmyeong University bowed its head late as its strength, offensive soccer, was activated. Sunmoon University, which showed defensive soccer during the tournament, showed an unexpected attack.

Dongmyeong University was founded on December 20 last year. He participated for the first time in the 60th Hansan Battle of Chungye University Football Federation held in Tongyeong in February this year. It created a sensation of winning right here. In the final, they defeated Ajou University, a traditional powerhouse of college football led by head coach Ha Seok-joo, 1-0. Hansan Battle Flag is a competition with no grade limit. Dongmyeong University was even more meaningful as it won the championship with first and second graders.

In Dongmyeong University, the winner of the Hansan Battle Flag was also dispatched almost the same during the Taebaeksan Mountain period. From the preliminary round to the semifinals, he scored 16 points and allowed three runs in six games. It boasted powerful firepower and stable air-to-air harmony. In particular, he met Ajou University again in the quarterfinals and crushed it 5-0. Only three players have changed in the best 11 in the final compared to the final of the Hansan Battle.



Sunmoon University aimed for its third consecutive victory in the tournament based on its strong defense. Sunmoon University's one goal allowed to Gangseo University in the quarterfinals was all it lost in the tournament. However, his weakness was that he passed both the round of 16 and the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout and that he was defensive enough to score five goals in total.

Contrary to expectations, Sunmoon University raised the line closely and countered it. Sunmoon University maintained the lead, and Dongmyeong University counterattacked. But there was no decisive hit. Sunmoon University diligently turned the ball around and aimed for the gap in Dongmyeong University. The left and right sides were evenly utilized. The change of direction was also made quickly. I tried to cross the side steadily, but it didn't lead to a good shooting opportunity.



Dongmyeong University tried to change by using three replacement cards in the first half of the 30 minutes. Song Hyuk, a striker from Ulsan Youth, Kang Chi-woo, a midfielder from Pohang Youth, and Ahn Hyun-hee, a midfielder from Incheon Youth, were deployed. As soon as Kang Chi-woo entered, he fired a threatening mid-range shot to turn the mood around. Dongmyeong University scored the first goal in extra time in the first half. Hong Ji-woo exploded a left-footed wonder goal. I hit the ball straight out of the box.

Sunmoon continued to knock on Dongmyeong's goal in the second half. The equalizer finally broke out in the 12th minute of the second half. Park Sun-woo, who entered as a substitute, solved it with his personal tactics. Park Sun-woo broke through with a solo dribble from the center circle to the box. He opened the goal of Dongmyeong University with a powerful left-footed shot with four defenses. Sunmoon University succeeded in turning the tables in the 25th minute of the second half. From the right, Kim Min-seo put up an early cross long. As soon as Dongmyeong University goalkeeper Ha Joon-seo tried to catch the ball, Sunmoon University was fast. Jung Sung-yeop, a rushing striker, slightly changed direction and scored.



The urgent Sunmoon University began aggressive forward pressure. In the 28th minute of the second half, Sunmoon University swallowed the disappointment with Yoon Young-seok's decisive turning shot shaking the side net. In the 35th minute of the second half, Kim Kyung-min balanced again. After overlapping to the left, I narrowed the angle to the center and shot a cannonball. He was stuck in a corner beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.

The winning goal was too futile. Dongmyeong University goalkeeper Ha Jun-seo made a mistake. An ordinary cross from the side headed for the goal. Ha Jun-seo's hand slipped. The ball that passed Ha Joon-seo's hand hit the face and deflected into the goal.
