(Seoul = Yonhap News) Correspondent Lee Young-ho = ‘Bull’ Hwang Hee-chan played as a substitute for Wolverhampton, a professional soccer team in England, who suffered a blow to Leicester City in the relegation zone and suffered a come-from-behind defeat.
Wolverhampton lost 1-2 in the 2022-2023 English Premier League (EPL) round 32 expedition to Leicester City held at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 22nd (local time).
Wolverhampton striker Hwang Hee-chan, who was waiting on the bench, was replaced by Pablo Sarabia in the 13th minute of the second half and stepped on the ground, but failed to score in two consecutive games as expected, and the team also maintained 13th place as the recent two-game winning streak was broken.
On the other hand, Leicester City escaped the relegation zone by rising from 19th place to 17th place after getting out of the mire of the recent 9 consecutive games without a win (1 draw and 8 losses) and taking 3 valuable points in 10 games.
Leicester City’s last victory was against Tottenham (4-1 win) in the 27th round on February 11th.
The opening goal belonged to Wolverhampton.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Mario Lumina pressed the opponent and took the ball away, and Matheus Cunha took over and scored first with a right-footed shot.
But the joy is short-lived. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Leicester City’s goal scorer Jamie Vardy, who started a counterattack, was stepped on by the goalkeeper while digging into the left side of the penalty area and fell, and the referee declared a penalty kick.
