Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who has risen to become the 'ace' of Korean soccer, collaborated with Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) to score a goal reminiscent of the famous scene from the match against Ghana in the Qatar World Cup about a year ago.

Lee Kang-in broke the 0-0 balance by delivering a sensational long pass to Cho Kyu-seong in the 44th minute of the home game against Singapore in the first leg of Group C of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 16th.

Lee Kang-in, who caught the ball on the right side, saw Cho Gyu-seong running into the space behind the defense and popped the ball into the air.

While Singapore's central defenders were caught off guard and unable to react, the ball was delivered to Cho Gyu-sung, who was close to the goal, and Cho Kyu-sung pushed it in with his left foot to score the first goal.

It was a goal that took away the frustration of having been on the offensive throughout the first half but rarely leading to a goal.

The last game in which Lee Kang-in and Cho Kyu-seong's 'joint work' appeared was the second group match against Ghana at the Qatar World Cup on November 29 last year.

The national team led by former coach Paulo Bento at the time lost 2-3, but through this game, Lee Kang-in and Cho Kyu-sung showed that they are worthy of being Korea's next-generation attackers.

The 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia Regional 2nd Preliminary Group C first match between Korea and Singapore held at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 16th.Korea's Hwang Hee-chan is happy after scoring a goal.

Lee Kang-in, who came on in the 12th minute of the second half, assisted Cho Gyu-seong's headed goal with a sharp left-footed cross from the left wing just one minute after being replaced.

At this time, Lee Kang-in, who was crowned a 'special joker', has expanded his position under coach Jurgen Klinsmann and has recently become a built-in side striker.

Cho Gyu-seong also exploded with multiple goals in this game, showing his competitiveness at the forefront, and also appears to be ahead of the competition with Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City) and Oh Hyun-gyu (Celtic) in the Klinsmann.

Lee Kang-in, who produced a similar scene for the first time in about a year, has recently been showing off his ability to produce fierce attack points.

Lee Kang-in, who recorded 2 goals, 1 goal, and 1 assist in the international match against Tunisia (4-0) and Vietnam (6-0) last October, has established himself as Klinsmann's most powerful weapon by increasing attack points in 3 consecutive games. .

Even in the first half of the day, most of the cracks in Singapore's defense, which was heavily lowered, came from Lee Kang-in's toes.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Lee Kang-in's left-footed long pass from the right side passed through Cho Gyu-seong to Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) and seemed to have led to a score, but the offside decision was made and the player swallowed his disappointment.

Six minutes later, Lee Kang-in made a rare right-footed cross after breaking through 1-1, creating a header opportunity for Lee Jae-seong, but the goalkeeper had a difficult time hitting it. 19가이드03
