The highest viewer rating per minute rose to 7.7% in the scene of Moon Ji-in's cool additional goal, which lays the foundation for the victory of 'Actionista'.
On this day, the first match of the 3rd Super League semi-finals with tickets to the finals, a confrontation between 'Goal Girl' representative rivals 'FC Actionista' and 'FC Tall Talent' unfolded. 'Actionista' and 'Talented Talent' have a total record of 2 wins and 2 losses, so they are close rivals, but at the same time they are close enough to be called sister teams. The two teams faced each other in the semi-finals of the Super League last season showed an all-time goal feast in a breathtaking match. After a suffocating close match, 'Goo Cheok Tall' won a 5-4 victory. Coach Baek Ji-hoon, who recalled the last game, dreamed of a revenge blood battle for 'Actionista', saying, "I will pay you back for the painful memories."
The match started with the determination of the players. An even match worthy of a fateful rivalry continued. Both teams worked hard to capture the opening goal to gain momentum, but it was difficult to score due to a disappointing finish. 'Actionista' Jeong Hye-in's ground ball kick-in split the net, but it was not connected to the goal due to the 'no touch' declaration.
Riding the flow, 'Actionista' continued to have offensive opportunities in the 'tall nine' camp, and 'tall nine' was tied to the defense. In the end, in the 8th minute of the first half, Lee Young-jin's mid-range shot broke through the dense defense, and 'Actionista' scored the first goal. The spectators who were watching the flawless goal wrapped up after removing one of the 'tall players' defense could not keep their mouths shut.
‘Talk of Tall’ also created opportunities with splendid passwork, and Kim Jin-kyung and Heo Kyung-hee fired sharp shots. However, it was blocked every time by the rapidly growing 'Actionista' goalkeeper Lee Chae-young. Lee Chae-young showed a super save with excellent reflexes and finished the first half without a goal.
Throughout the first half, when 'Actionista's man-marking set-piece tactics were blocked by 'Actionista', coach Oh Beom-seok ordered Lee Hyun-yi and Song Hae-na to change their roles in order to shake the opponent's defense. 'Tall Goose' tried this strategy from the beginning of the second half, and Song Hae-na, who fooled the defense of 'Actionista', turned around and jumped out to create an equalizer for 'Tall Goose'. Song Hae-na scored 3 out of 4 goals in the 'Actionista' match and properly showed the aspect of 'Actionista Killer'.
As the game went back to square one, both teams' offenses faced each other even more tightly. With the team scoring the extra goal dominating the atmosphere, both teams were eager to score a point. The clogged blood of the match was pierced in the 5th minute of the second half. Moon Ji-in, who received Jung Hye-in's pass, broke the net with a one-touch shot, and 'Actionista' took the lead once again. This scene, which laid the foundation for the victory of 'Actionista', recorded the highest viewer rating of 7.7% per minute and took 'the best one minute'.
In less than a minute, Jeong Hye-in succeeded in scoring an extra goal with an out-front shot following a breakthrough, and the game quickly became a two-goal gap. 'The Talented Gucheok' did not give up and went on the offensive, but Ji-in Mun, who played an active role in the offense and defense, did not allow the 'Talented Talent' to score. In the 8th minute of the second half, Ha-na Park, who received an assist that caught Lee Hye-jung's surprise, split the net with a cool finish and became the player who scored her debut goal in two games.
The match was won 4-1 by 'Actionista', and they advanced to the finals for the second time in team history. Moon Ji-in, who played a big role in the karate, said, “The moment I scored a goal still feels like a dream. It seems that I was in a state of awakening today.” Captain Lee Young-jin expressed his desire to win, saying, “I want to hear the championship cup once.”
