Born in 2006 'High School Winger' Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon) properly impressed the new A national team coach Hong Myung-bo.

Coach Hong, who returned as the head coach of the A national team for the first time in 10 years, visited the K-League stadium for the first time since taking the helm. On the 9th, he visited Gimcheon Stadium, where the 26th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' between Kimcheon Sangmu and Gangwon FC was held.

Director Hong also has no choice but to pay attention to Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk's transfer to Tottenham was confirmed on the 28th of last month. According to the agreement, he plans to play in Gangwon for the rest of the season and then join Tottenham in January next year.

Yang Min-hyuk was showing off his peak 'form'. He had three goals and one assist in two games before the game against Gimcheon. He scored multiple goals (2 goals) in the 24th round against Jeju United and one goal-1 assist against Jeonbuk Hyundai in the 25th round. Yang Min-hyuk of Gimcheon-do was the highest alert.

Yang Min-hyuk responded. He helped Lee Sang-hun's equalizer in the extra time of the first half, trailing 0-1. However, Yang Min-hyuk was replaced at half-time. In the 34th minute of the first half, his face was hurt during the collision with Kim Dae-won. It was decided that there was no need to overdo it anymore because the pain continued. Yang Min-hyuk continued his rise in offensive points for the third consecutive game.

Kim Jeong-yong, manager of Gimcheon, brought up the 4-3-3 system. While Kim Dae-won, Yoo Kang-hyun and Mo Jae-hyun are located in the three-top, Seo Min-woo, Park Sang-hyuk, and Kim Bong-soo are in the second line. Park Soo-il, Park Chan-yong, Park Seung-wook, and Kim Kang-san lined up in the four-back, and Kim Dong-heon defended the goal.

Gangwon coach Yoon Jung-hwan countered with a 4-4-2 card. Lee Sang-hun and Kovacevic formed a two-top, while the midfield was played by the manned player Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Yoo-hyun and Yang Min-hyuk. Lee Ki-hyun, Kim Young-bin, Kang Tu-ji, Hwang Moon-ki stood at the four-back, and Lee Kwang-yeon wore goalkeeper gloves.

Gangwon opened with Kovacevic's right footed shot in the third minute of the first half. Yang Min-hyuk was on the right wing, but he had a hard time with his opponent's concentration mark. The ball wasn't put in properly either. Gangwon almost scored an own goal in the 13th minute of the first half as Lee Ki-hyuk handled the ball with a header.

Gangwon needed a way out. As Yang Min-hyuk moved to the left, his breath opened. Yang Min-hyuk crossed after a quick breakthrough in the 23rd minute of the first half, but was caught by Gimcheon defense. Gangwon's wave of attacks, which revived the attack, continued, but Kovacevic's finish was 2% short.

The first goal was finally scored in the 35th minute of the first half. Kim Dae-won shot his old team, Gangwon. A long pass from the defense passed through Lee Ki-hyuk and caught Kim Dae-won's toes. He dribbled to the goal and crossed, and the ball hit Kim Young-bin's foot and was sucked into the goal. It was Kim Young-bin's own goal.

The joy of Gimcheon did not last long. Gangwon's equalizer came out in the 46th minute, the extra time of the first half. A long cross from the right hit Kim Dong-heon's hand and fell in front of Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk did not delay and immediately connected the ball to the goal, and Lee Sang-heon responded with his ninth goal of the season. Lee Sang-heon showed a fellowship that worried more about Yang Min-hyuk's face condition instead of the goal ceremony.

There was no Yang Min-hyuk in the second half. Kim Kyung-min was put in instead. Gimcheon strengthened its offense by putting in Lee Dong-kyung at the start of the second half and Lee Dong-joon in the 11th minute.

Kangwon laughed. Lee Sang-heon completed a multi-goal in the 19th minute of the second half and succeeded in turning the tables. Taking advantage of the goalkeeper's break from the corner kick set piece, he scored a goal with a lobbing goal. Following the VAR (Vidao Reading) for offside, the goal was not reversed in the on-field review. It was Lee Sang-hun's double-digit goal in his first professional season.

Gimcheon made a wave of attacks at the end of the second half to bring the game to square one, but failed to open the goal in the end. Gangwon regained the lead with a 2-1 victory. Gangwon, which added three points, scored 47 points and Gimcheon 46 points. Gangwon, which has won three consecutive games, also shook off the pain of losing all two games against Gimcheon this season.

Meanwhile, in Jeonju, Jeonbuk Hyundai failed to turn the tables and fell into a swamp of losing consecutive games. It was a particularly strong Jeonbuk for Gwangju FC. Before the game on the day, it was a victory of two games this season. Gwangju's concentration stood out more. Gwangju opened the goal in the 24th minute of the second half with a fantastic left-footed shot by Asani, who received Gabriel's pass.

Gwangju scored 37 points and moved up one place from 7th to 6th, while Jeonbuk remained 11th (23 points). Lee Seung-woo, who moved to Jeonbuk last month, started but was replaced by Thiago at half-time.
