Lee Ho-jae scored an additional goal in the 21st minute of the second half with Kang Sang-yoon's first goal in the second leg of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) against Hong Kong at 8 p.m. on the 11th at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.
On the left, Joker Moon Sun-min ran near the par post and pushed a cross floated with his right foot to his forehead. The opposing goalkeeper could not use his hand because it was a ball that was inserted into the corner of the goal.
Lee Ho-jae, who made his national team debut as a substitute in the last match against China, scored his debut goal in two games, clearly impressing head coach Hong Myung-bo.
With this score, the rich player also scored the real record of scoring in the A-match. His father, coach Lee Ki-hyung, scored six goals in 47 A matches. Lee Ho-jae followed his father's lead 21 years and 9 months after Lee last scored against Nepal in October 2003. South Korea is leading 2-0 as of the 25th minute of the second half.
