'Girls Who Hit Goal', which aired on the 29th, recorded a household viewership rating of 6.5% (based on the metropolitan area) and a viewership rating of 2.8% for the 2049 target, which is an indicator of topicality. In particular, the highest viewer rating per minute soared to 7.8% at the moment when 'World Class' confirmed victory by defeating last season's runner-up team 'Gucheok Jangshin' 2-0.
On this day, the first match of Group B of the Super League took place between ‘FC Goochuk Jangshin’ and ‘FC World Class’. 'World Class' has a record of 2 wins in 2 matches against 'Guchuk Tall God', but in the previous Super League, 'Guchuk Tall God' took runner-up and 'World Class' took 4th place, so the result of this match is Attention was focused.
A big change occurred in 'Guchuk Tall God' ahead of the game. As Irene took a break this season to focus on her main job, a gap was created in the goalkeeper position. In Irene's vacancy, 'Bazooka' Kim Jin-kyung returned, and Heo Kyung-hee took over the goalkeeper position.
Heo Kyung-hee, wearing goalkeeper gloves for the first time, showed stable saves from the start. He also showed bold play as an attacking goalkeeper, crossing the halfway line in a set-piece situation and joining the attack. However, 'World Class' used their high speed as a weapon to tie down 'Guchuk Tall' with pressure and quick attacks. 'World Class', in which even Lara was equipped with flawless kicking power, impressed everyone by transforming all field players into powerful shooters.
'World Class' pushed 'Guchuk Tall' without any gaps, and eventually earned a penalty kick opportunity due to Song Hae-na's handball foul. Saori, who appeared as a kicker, scored the perfect first goal with a quick shot into the corner, and made everyone laugh by performing a group 'Eul Yong Ta' ceremony with coach Lee Eul Yong.
At the end of the first half, coach Oh Beom-seok of the 'Gucheok Tall Gods' gave the order to replace the goalkeeper after much deliberation. Coach Oh Beom-seok said, “Anyway, it was 1-0 and 2-0 so it was the same. “There is nothing I can do to score a goal (unless the goalkeeper is replaced),” he said, handing over the goalkeeper gloves to Jeong Jeong-seon. ‘World Class’ coach Lee Eul-yong said, “The first half is over, so I don’t know who the goalkeeper will be. “(Replacing the goalkeeper) is better for us,” he said, ordering the players to score additional goals.
The second half of the game began with the duo of Lee Hyeon-i and Heo Gyeong-hee, who had led the 'old-timers' to the finals, back in action. 'The Old Man' gradually regained his vitality thanks to the angle-creating shots of Heo Kyung-hee, who had an offensive instinct, and the addition of Kim Jin-kyung, who had regained his sense of the game. Not to be outdone, 'World Class' continued to threaten the 'Goucheok Tall' with Saori's solo breakthrough as well as Elodie's surprise rush, and eventually scored an additional goal with Eva's low and fast mid-range gun.
The 'Gucheok Jangshin', who were trailing 2-0, suffered bad news as Kim Jin-kyung was sent off for 3 minutes due to accumulating warnings. Even in a situation where one player was lacking, Heo Kyung-hee showed individual skills by rushing past three defenders, and Bae Seong-jae was impressed, saying, “It’s like watching Kang Baek-ho from ‘Slam Dunk.’”
Despite the fighting spirit of the 'World Class' goalkeeper, Saori chilled the 'World Class' team with a sharp shot that hit the goal post until the end. In the end, the game ended 2-0, and ‘World Class’ confirmed the victory.
Regarding the loss in the first game, coach Oh Beom-seok of the ‘Gucheok Tall Gods’ said, “I have nothing to say. Maybe my training was wrong. “A loss is a loss, but I’m angry that I lost so helplessly,” he said, leaving the stadium. Captain Lee Hyun-i said, “Today, the loss lies with me,” and “I felt that the growth curve had been rising for a while and then reached a plateau. I've been filling up my stagnant days with fighting, but it hasn't been very good. “It is a problem that we will solve in the future,” he said.
‘Girls Who Hit Goals’ airs every Wednesday at 9 PM.
