(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Bae Jin-nam = K League 1 FC Seoul completed the K3 League (3rd division) Busan Transportation Corporation and advanced to the semi-finals of the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup for the first time in six years.

Seoul beat Busan Transportation Corporation 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Hana Bank FA Cup held at the Busan Asiad Auxiliary Stadium on the 29th.

With this, Seoul succeeded in advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time in six years since 2016, when they were runners-up.

After winning the title in 2015, Seoul is challenging for the third championship in seven years.

In the round of 16, Busan Transportation Corporation defeated the ‘defending champions’, the K-League 2 (Part 2) Jeonnam Dragons at the end of a penalty shootout and was the only K3 league member to advance to the quarter-finals, but it could not continue its momentum any longer.

Seoul broke the balance with a header from Palošević in the 30th minute of the first half. Kwon Seong-yoon’s cross from the left side of the opponent’s penalty area was put in by Palošević with his head in front of the goal.

Seoul, who finished the first half while maintaining the lead, focused more on the game in the first minute of the second half. Palošević’s shot was blocked by the keeper in the mid-range situation, but Park Dong-jin kicked the ball again with his right foot.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Kim Shin-jin, who stepped on the ground as a substitute for Palošević, finished with a header from Kwon Seong-yoon’s corner kick, putting the wedge into the game.
