Hannam University, led by head coach Park Kyu-sun, won the 18th 1st and 2nd grade college football tournament Baekdudaegangi final held at Taebaek Stadium in Taebaek, Gangwon Province, on the 16th after a penalty shootout with Ajou 안전토토사이트 University. The joys and sorrows of Hannam University and Ajou University, which finished the extra time 2-2, were mixed in the penalty shoot-out. Coach Ha, who was sent off in the semifinals against Sangji, had to watch the defeat in the stands.
Hannam University, which beat Korea University last year to reach the top of the Baekdudaegangi, won its second consecutive title in the tournament. Hannam University, which boasted powerful firepower from the group stage, won the victory by scoring more than three goals in three consecutive games from the round of 16 to the semifinals. Fans who visited the final cheered by shouting the slogan “The Strongest Hannam,” which Hannam University proved perfectly. Ajou University, which tried to win its first championship in 10 years since 2013, missed the trophy in front of its eyes.
Hannam University, the “defending champion,” pushed through the first half. Hannam University solved the attack with a short pass, and Ajou University crouched in the back and aimed for a shot.
Hannam University’s striker Kim Min-ki opened Ajou University’s goal in the 7th minute of the first half, but it ended in nothing as offside was declared. Hannam University repeatedly occupied the ball and sought a gap, but the accuracy of the last pass and shot in the attack area was somewhat reduced.
Despite Ajou University’s watertight defense, Hannam University threatened the goal with a sharp shot. But it didn’t pay off. Oh Seo-jin’s shots in the 22nd minute of the first half and Kim Dong-jin’s shots six minutes later were all on the net. Ajou University also had a decisive counterattack opportunity in the 38th minute of the first half, but Han Bin’s shot soared above the goal and ended in nothing.
Ajou University, which focused on defense, replaced four players at the beginning of the second half and made a winning move. Hannam University changed only one person.
The atmosphere changed dramatically in the second half. Ajou University increased the possession time of the ball and launched a fierce attack. In the third minute of the second half, Jang Yoon-sik’s shot from the right side of the penalty box fell slightly to the other side of the net, swallowing regret. Ajou University also pushed hard, but its decision-making power fell. In the end, Ajou University put in Sung Ki-wan, who scored three consecutive goals from the round of 16 in the 21st minute of the second half, excluding Jang Yoon-sik.
As the regular time went by, the game became fiercer. Hannam University’s mood changed in the 32nd minute of the second half after Kim Min-jae’s header shook the net in a corner kick situation. Hannam University scored with a ‘goal kick’ in the 38th minute of the second half. A long kick by goalkeeper Yongbum Kim connected to Lee Ho-young on the right side. Shortly after, Lee Ho-young’s cross was blocked by the defender, but Kim Min-jae, who was rushing in, kicked in and broke the balance of 0.
Ajou University, which went on a wave offensive, scored a dramatic equalizer. In the extra time of the second half, Park Young-joon split the net of Hannam University, a shot he kicked near the arc.
The extra time was also a game without any concessions. Hannam University once again took the lead in the 9th minute of extra time. Jung Seung-bae, who received Choi Won-seok’s cross, beat the goalkeeper and kicked the ball with his right foot. Ajou University hit the crossbar after Cho Sang-hyuk’s header was blocked by the goalkeeper’s hand in the fourth minute of extra time, and pushed it in again to balance it.
Ajou University, which held its momentum, launched an offensive for the rest of the time, but the joys and sorrows of the two teams were mixed in the penalty shoot-out. Hannam University beat Ajou University 3-2 in a penalty shootout to reach the top for the second consecutive year.
