Lee Kang-in, “Korean player A match red card” for the first time in 7 years and 3 months…45th in his career

One of the “oketi” in the A-match warm-up match against Iraq that ended in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 6th is Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who left due to accumulated warnings. Lee Kang-in collided with Ahmed Yahia in the 40th minute of the second half with a 1-0 lead. Yahia hit Lee Kang-in in the face, and he hit him. The referee gave a side-by-side warning, but Lee Kang-in, who held one earlier warning, had to leave the ground. 토토사이트 추천

According to the Korea Football Association (KFA), it is the first time in seven years and three months that a Korean player has exited an A-match since defender Hong Jeong-ho who accumulated warnings in the match against Qatar in the final qualifying round for the Russia World Cup held in Suwon in October 2016. The number of matches also reached 96 matches. Lee Kang-in is the 45th Korean player to leave an A-match.

Korea won 1-0 thanks to Lee Jae-seong’s first goal in the first half against Iraq. Since the 0-0 draw against Wales in September last year, Korea has had seven consecutive A matches without allowing any point (six wins and one draw). This record ranks third in the history of A matches for the Korean national team.

The No. 1 ranking in consecutive games with the most scoreless streak is 10 consecutive games from the East Asian Cup match against North Korea (0-0 draw) in August 2015 under Coach Uli Stielike of Germany to the forfeited match against Kuwait (3-0 win) in the qualifying round for the World Cup in March 2016. The second place came in eight games under Coach Han Hong-ki in 1970. The other three places were tied for third place under the leadership of Ham Heung-cheol in 1978 and Lee Hoi-taek in 1989.
