First half begun with the kickoff from the KU, after the kick, KU players were showing a fierce outside game mostly to the right side based to the KU’s formation. This frequent intense attacks finally made an effort of shooting a goal quickly at 03’21” by Shin Jae Won ('17, Physical Education, FW), scoring 1:0. There were several attempts of the Yonsei players trying to attack directly to the center and were dicey moments of the corner kick, yet, those moments were fended by Min Sung Jun ('18, Physical Education, GK).

 

Second half begun with the rough physical combat from Park Sang Hyeok ('17, Physical Education, MF) and Yonsei’s Lee Jong Mun ('17, YU, MF), showing that Yonsei seems to be anxious about the score, much aggressive movements including tackling and fouls were frequent seen. This aggressiveness finally resulted a goal from Yoon Tae Woong ('18, YU, FW) assisted by Ha Seung-un ('17, YU, MF)’s left cross, making a tie—1:1. Second half seems to reveal KU’s weak point of defense. YU had a strong four back defense and the goalkeeper Kim Si Hoon (YU, GK) when KU players had the ball, however, when Yonsei’s players dashed to the KU’s court, there were only two defenses, Lee Da Won ('15, Physical Education, DF) and Lyu Seung Pyo (Physical Education, DF) the goalkeeper to block the Yonsei’s attack. This lead to another turn around goal from the Yonsei by Ha ('17, YU, MF) scoring 1:2.
