Regarding this situation, an interesting situation was created between Son Heung-min's teammates Radu Dragusin and Hwang Hee-chan.
Dragushin stopped Hwang Hee-chan's left arm by pressing 'Kook'. Then Hwang Hee-chan continued to instruct him to dive in that direction, pointing to the left of the goal with his remaining right arm.
