'A forward striker' Will Jeon Jin-woo (Jeonbuk)'s goal against Kuwait be recognized as an official goal?
Jeon Jin-woo, who was selected for the first time for the national team on the A match day in June, scored a valuable first goal in the 10th match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Kuwait at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th.
Hwang In-beom's corner kick, which bends into the goal, deflected off Jeon Jin-woo's body and headed into the goal.
On the slow screen, it seemed to hit the Kuwaiti player's left thigh and cut the net.
However, after scoring, Jeon Jin-woo roared and scored a goal ceremony, and the broadcast screen also caught Jeon Jin-woo. The colleagues approached Jeon Jin-woo and congratulated him.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) scored an own goal by Kuwaiti defender Fahad al-Hazeri and immediately corrected it to a goal by Jeon Jin-woo.

FIFA recorded Jeon Jin-woo's previous name, Jeon Se-jin's goal. Since the end of Korea's 4-0 victory, it has not been corrected until 10:50 p.m.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) was different. The KFA said on its official channel that it was an own goal from Algeria, not a goal from Jeon Jin-woo. The match summer, which was distributed to the media after the game, also marked "Al-Hazeri's own goal."
The broadcaster MBC commentators explained at half-time that it was an own goal after checking with a KFA official.
The scene is recognized as Jeon Jin-woo's goal. At this rate, Jeon Jin-woo will score his debut goal in two A matches. However, there is a possibility that the official record will be corrected in the future based on the official match summer.
Hong Myung-bo, who finished with a 1-0 lead in the first half, won 4-0 with consecutive goals by Lee Kang-in in the 6th minute of the second half, Oh Hyun-kyu in the 9th minute of the second half, and Lee Jae-sung in the 27th minute of the second half.
He confirmed his advance to the World Cup finals with six wins and four draws in 10 games and an unbeaten record in 16 years since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
