As seen from Indonesia’s first goal of Straweek and the second goal which was given up due to a fatal judgment error by our defense, Korea was behind Indonesia in individual skills and organizational skills.
Hwang Seon-hong, who lost the initiative, collapsed due to unnecessary actions.
Substitute forward Lee Young-jun was sent off 25 minutes into the second half for stepping on an opponent, and outnumbered coach Hwang Seon-hong received , a red card for protesting against an opponent’s foul.
Although Jeong Sang-bin’s dramatic tying goal led to overtime, the team was defensive throughout the captainless overtime, and after a fierce battle that even reached the 12th kicker, they succumbed to the Magic of Shin Tae-yong.

Coach Shin Tae-yong, who congratulated our players after the game, won a complete victory in a battle of wits with coach Hwang Seon-hong.
Around 9,000 Indonesian spectators chanted the name of coach Shin Tae-yong, who gave the team the gift of advancing to the semi-finals for the first time in history.
[“신태용! 신태용! 신태용!”]
Even Indonesia, where there was a huge street cheer, fell into the Shin Tae-yong syndrome, calling for Shin Tae-yong to become president.

The new history belonged to Indonesia, not us.
Our national team, aiming for the finals of the Olympic Games for the 10th time in a row, gave up their dream without even being able to cross the threshold of the Asian quarterfinals.
