The key player who changed the frustrating trend in the friendly match once morest Tunisia was Lee Kang-in.

A free kick opportunity was obtained through a brilliant breakthrough, and it was resolved with a left-footed shot with a fantastic trajectory.

Two minutes later, Lee Kang-in scored an additional goal with a quick move in front of the goal.

He scored his first and second goals at the same time in his 15th national team international match.

Lee Kang-in was replaced right before the end, receiving warm applause from fans, and received warm encouragement from captain Son Heung-min on the bench.

The national team beat Tunisia 4-0, thanks to Hwang Ui-jo’s key goal, and recorded their second consecutive win in the A-match.

It was an evaluation match where Lee Kang-in’s tactical importance was revealed.

The attack became more active as Lee Kang-in played on the right wing rather than the center.

He became the center of the national team’s attack with his brilliant dribbling and personal skills that he learned from a young age in Spain.

Still, Lee Kang-in repeatedly emphasized team victory rather than greed for goals.

[이강인/축구 국가대표 : “제가 골잡이는 아닌 것 같아요. 두 골을 넣으면 한 골 더 넣어서 해트트릭을 하면 좋겠다란 생각을 태어나서 해본적이 한번도 없는 것 같아요. 제일 중요한 건 방금 말했듯이 팀의 승리이고.”]

The national team will play its second warm-up match in October once morest Vietnam on the 17th, and Son Heung-min, who had been on the bench, is expected to appear, raising expectations for an offensive collaboration with Lee Kang-in.
