[골닷컴, 도하(카타르)] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = The dramatic equalizing goal scored by Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) against Saudi Arabia was recorded as the latest goal scored in the 90th minute of the first half in the history of the Korean national soccer team A match. Cho Gyu-seong saved Klinsmann, who had been pushed to the edge, by hitting the net in the 9th minute of extra time after the regular time ended.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) said on the 31st (Korean time), “The goal that Cho Gyu-sung scored in the 9th minute (98 minutes and 32 seconds) of added time in the second half of the match against Saudi Arabia was the last goal scored in the 90 minutes of the first and second halves in the history of the Korean national soccer team’s A match. “It was recorded as a goal,” he announced.

According to the announcement, Kim Chi-woo (retired) held the record for scoring the latest goal in the first and second halves of a 90-minute match in the history of the Korean national soccer team’s A-match. He scored the equalizing goal in the 7th minute of extra time (96 minutes, 13 seconds) in the second half in the 6th game of Group A of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asia Regional Final Qualifier against Lebanon held at Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium in Beirut, Lebanon in June 2013.
Previously, Cho Kyu-sung entered the field as a substitute in the 19th minute of the second half in the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup round of 16 against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the same day. Cho Gyu-seong, who was looking for an opportunity, hit the net with a header in the 9th minute of extra time in the second half when Klinsmann was down 0-1 and was facing defeat.
Had one more minute passed, Klinsmann would have been eliminated in the round of 16, but Cho Kyu-sung’s dramatic equalizer brought the game to a close and sent it to overtime. However, in overtime, the game went to a penalty shoot-out, and Klinsmann won 4-2 thanks to a good save from goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan HD). Cho Gyu-seong also took part as a penalty kick kicker and easily succeeded.
Jo Gyu-seong said, “Of course it feels good to win. “However, we could have made better use of the chance and didn’t have to go to a penalty shootout, but I think that part was very disappointing,” he said. “At the time of scoring, I honestly think I felt more disappointed (about the previous poor performance) than feeling good. So I don’t think he liked it very much. “My first thought was, ‘We’ve just scored one goal,’” he said.
