It was a heart-wrenching moment. Coach Kim Eun-joong said, "I was hit in the face by the ball in the middle of the game, but fortunately, there was no problem."

Suwon FC drew 1-1 with the Pohang Steelers in the seventh round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" held at Suwon Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 5th. With this, Suwon FC postponed its first win to the next with four points, while Pohang, which continued its unbeaten five games, ranked sixth with nine points. 
The two teams were neck and neck in weather, but the result was a tie. Suwon FC scored the first goal at the 12th minute of the first half by finishing Abanda's pass. However, when Auberdan headed in a cross from Juninho in the 12th minute of the second half, the game went back to square one. The match ended 1-1 with Suwon delaying its first win in seven matches as well.

There was a dizzying scene during the match. In the 31st minute of the first half, Luan caught the ball near the bench of Suwon FC and saw Lee Tae-seok running from the opposite side, before kicking the ball hard. In the process, the ball hit Kim Eun-joong hard in front of the face, while he was standing near the bench. He felt a great deal of shock, as if a puck was heard in the stadium, and Kim also collapsed to the floor.

The game was briefly suspended, and players from both teams, referees, and Suwon FC coaching staff gathered to check the condition. Fortunately, Kim Eun-joong woke up without any problems, and the game resumed soon after. Although it didn't seem to be too painful because he was wearing a hat, Kim Eun-joong sometimes touched the part where the ball was hit during the game. Suwon FC supporters cheered and shouted Kim Eun-joong's name in the cheering section.

It was a touching moment for soccer fans. Coach Kim Eun-jung said, "I can't see my left eye. I was hit in the face by a ball when I was young. Although he was diagnosed with inability to play soccer, he overcame his weakness and became nicknamed "Sharp" when he was active, scoring 123 goals and 56 assists in 444 games in the K-League. 토토사이트

After the game, Kim didn't seem to have any major problems with his face. He smiled at the news conference, saying, "It's okay," when he was hit by the ball.
