Jeju United lost 1-2 to the Pohang Steelers in the second round of the semifinals of the '2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup' held at Pohang Steelyard on the 28th. Jeju, which had a 2-2 draw on its home turf in the first round, knelt 3-4 on aggregate.
Head coach Kim Hak-beom apologized to his fans first. He said "I feel so sorry for the supporters if I lose the expedition. He was disappointed that they prepared earlier than us and cheered us on. Coach Kim visited the away supporter's seat in person and bowed his head after the game. He said "It's something you can do as much as you want as a director. Now the Korea Cup is over. I'll focus everything on the league."
Jeju struggled hard, but it didn't follow luck. Jeju's reliable defensive resources such as Jung-woon, Lee Joo-yong, and Song Joo-hoon collapsed. Ahead of the game, head coach Kim Hak-beom said "The defense is wiped out annihilate" he lamented. Nam Tae-hee was injured and replaced in 16 minutes.
When I opened the lid, Jeju endured well. He allowed the first goal in the first five minutes of the first half, but he was quick to settle it. Jeju, which reorganized its defense, succeeded in tying the game in the 23rd minute of the first half, which is relatively early timing.
Since then, Jeju has engaged in an equal battle with Pohang. He did not make a decisive hit, but he was not unilaterally pushed.
However, in the 36th minute of the second half, the goddess of victory raised her hand in Pohang. Pohang Ahn Jae-joon's shot was missed. Jeju goalkeeper Kim Dong-joon caught the ball and missed it. Of course, Pohang Eojeongwon was right in front of me. Uh Jung-won quickly rushed in and kicked it into the goal line.
Head coach Kim Hak-beom said, `I worked hard as I did, but there are some parts that are chaotic. There were also situations where the feet didn't fit. It is a situation that was predicted anyway. Rather, it is regrettable that Nam Tae-hee fell in the middle and Hong Jae-seok felt leg cramps, and lost power as he twisted his replacement timing. I wish I could have gone normally..." he reflected on the game.
