Joo Min-gyu (33, Ulsan) saved Ulsan with a theater goal.
Ulsan Hyundai beat Gwangju FC 2-1 thanks to Ju Min-gyu’s winning goal in extra time in the second half of the ‘Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023 Round 10’ held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 30th. Leading Ulsan (8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, 25 points) maintained a point gap with second place Seoul (19 points).
Ulsan faced a crisis in the 36th minute when Lee Kang-hyeon conceded the opening goal. Successive goals by Bako in the 41st minute and Joo Min-gyu in the 45th minute succeeded in reversing the game. Joo Min-gyu’s goal was declared offside, but the goal was recognized after video review.
After the game, Joo Min-gyu said in an interview with the host broadcaster, “I had a hard time after going on an expedition in the first game. It was a game in which he recovered with Rubik’s hand. My body was heavy. He patiently waited. I am satisfied with a game I can win. (The ball) came to my knee, so I controlled it once, and it worked.”메이저놀이터
The competition with Martin Adam as the one-top player in the team is fierce. Joo Min-gyu said, “There is a part of me that I learn from watching Martin Adam. He communicates to be intimidating when running together or when Martin goes out. He is both competing and coexisting. The advantage is that we fight as a team. Stickiness is a strength,” he explained.
If he plays the next game, Joo Min-gyu will reach 300 K-League games. He said, “I am grateful to have played 300 games myself. If he prepares more desperately for each game, he will prepare with the thought that he can play 400 or 500 games. Many spectators came to Ulsan. Even after scoring one goal, he worked hard until the end. I want to thank the fans,” he bowed his head.
