Cho Kyu-sung has firmly established himself as the new goal scorer in Korean soccer. Cho Kyu-seong made a clear impression in the game once morest Ghana, establishing the pride of being the ‘K-League top scorer’.
Kyu-Sung Cho scored consecutive goals in the 13th and 18th minutes of the second half in the second half of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar Group H match held at Al Rayyan Education City Stadium in Qatar on the 28th (Korean time), 0-2. -2 Played a decisive role in balancing.
Although the Korean national soccer team gave up the winning goal to Mohamed Salisu in the 23rd minute of the second half and lost 2-3, Kyu-Sung Cho showed his true worth.
Above all, it is significant that Cho Kyu-seong is the first player to score 2 goals in one game out of 36 goals recorded by Korean football in the World Cup finals.
In the 1986 Mexico World Cup, since Park Chang-sun scored the first goal in the World Cup finals once morest Argentina, there have been players who have scored two goals in one tournament, but no multiple goals in one game. This is a record that even Son Heung-min might not achieve.
The players who have scored multiple goals in one tournament in the past World Cup finals are Hong Myung-bo ( once morest Spain and Germany) at the U.S. World Cup, Ahn Jung-hwan ( once morest the United States and Italy) at the Korea-Japan World Cup, Jung-soo Lee ( once morest Greece and Nigeria) at the World Cup in South Africa, and Cheong-yong Lee ( once morest Greece and Nigeria). ( once morest Argentina and Uruguay), and Son Heung-min ( once morest Mexico and Germany) in the Russian World Cup. This time, Cho Kyu-seong was recorded as a player who scored two goals in one tournament, and at the same time became the first multi-goal player in one game.
In fact, Cho Kyu-seong was called by coach Paulo Bento as Hwang Eui-jo’s backup. However, as Hwang Eui-jo seldom got a chance to play in his team, his condition deteriorated noticeably. In the first game once morest Uruguay, the shot of the introductory flight went up, proving this.
In the end, coach Bento chose Cho Kyu-seong, who played a lot for his team, as the starter for the match once morest Ghana. Cho Kyu-seong has already left a deep impression in the game once morest Uruguay as a substitute.
Cho Kyu-seong was somewhat sluggish in the first half, but he imprinted himself on soccer fans around the world with multiple goals in the second half. Whoscored.com, a soccer statistics site, also gave Cho Kyu-seong the highest rating among both teams with 8.9 points.
