Gabriel and Park In-hyuk scored the first goal of the season. It's good news for Gwangju FC, which is about to board a flight to Saudi Arabia.
Gwangju advanced to the fourth round (the round of 16) by winning 2-0 against K3 Gyeongju KHNP in the third round of the "2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup" held at Gwangju World Cup Stadium on the 16th.
What is more pleasing than victory is the striker's performance. Gabriel scored the first goal in the 45th minute of the first half. He shook the net by connecting a cross from the left side with an accurate right-footed shot.
Gabriel, who failed to get a chance to participate due to winter injury and weight gain, underwent intensive training from coach Lee Jung-hyo to build his body. His weight, which was close to 100 kilograms, was reduced to late 80 kilograms. "I worked out early morning six times a week for a month, and Gabriel followed me well," Lee said, expressing satisfaction.
Gabriel played his first game of the season in the K-League 1 eighth round match against Gangwon FC. He failed to score an offensive point, but continued to break through with his unique speed and power. Eventually, he scored a goal in two matches after his return to the Major League, signaling his revival.
Park In-hyuk's debut goal in Gwangju at the 11th minute of the second half is also impressive. After digging into the right side of the penalty box, Park scored with a superb lobbing shot.
He joined Gwangju ahead of this season. He had no goals in 18 K-League matches, but scored a goal through the Korea Cup.
Park In-hyuk, 187 centimeters tall with speed and strength, advanced to the German stage with high expectations as a large-scale offensive resource when he was a student at Kyung Hee University. However, he failed to make it to the European stage and made his K-League debut in 2018 while wearing the Daejeon uniform.
Park In-hyuk, who only played in the second division, made his debut in the first division after moving to Gwangju. Under Lee's leadership, Park In-hyuk's connection and team play, which were disadvantages, have improved. He continued to play in games, gained opportunities, and even scored a goal.
Their scoring ability gives a boost to coach Lee. Gwangju will play a K-League 1 match against FC Seoul on Tuesday and then head to Saudi Arabia. The team will play against Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), the elite quarterfinals of the Asian Football Confederation Champions League. 메이저놀이터
As the team plays against the team that spends the most money in Asia, the more diverse attack options are, the better. Ace Asani has already been identified on the Asian stage. If Gabriel and Park In-hyuk revive, Gwangju can display more diverse attacks. In other words, the team exploded at the right time.
