Cho Kyu-sung, who had been away from the ground for more than a year due to complications that could be fatal to the player's life, finally scored a goal and roared. Cho Kyu-sung scored a decisive goal in the third round of the 2025-2026 Denmark Cup against AaB (Allborg BK) at Olborg Portland Park in Olborg, Denmark on the 18th (Korea time), leading him to a 3-0 victory and advance to the round of 16.
Cho Kyu-sung, who replaced Franculio Diage in the 13th minute of the second half when his team was leading 1-0, pushed a calm right-footed shot from the right side of the opponent's penalty box in the 34th minute of the second half. It was a scene where Cho Kyu-sung's unique location and calmness stood out.

In an interview video with the Korea Football Association (KFA) released in August, Cho Kyu-sung said "The first injury occurred in December 2023 ahead of the Asian Cup. He was in a situation where he had to undergo a resection called 'Maniscus', but he decided with the club to do the surgery after playing for six months with an injury. I had a postseason resection surgery," he recalled.
Then "I went to Italy to operate and rehabilitate in Korea. However, he became infected. My knees are swollen. I drained the water three times. I thought I should check this out, so I got a checkup. I don't know if I got infected while I was draining it with a syringe or what it was, but I had another surgery"I've been lying in the hospital for a month after surgery, and I've lost 12kg." I got painkillers three to four times a day, and I kept waking up at night. It was the hardest time of my life."

According to Danish media 'Campo', Cho Kyu-sung, who roared in front of an away fan, said in an interview after the game "It was fantastic. The goal was like a picture I've been drawing in my head for a long time. I've worked hard (to come back)," he said in an emotional note.
"Right after scoring, I saw the fans shouting and cheering, so I ran (to there) and celebrated." It's hard to explain my feelings in words now. I've been waiting for this for over a year"
It is said that the Mitwillan locker room was truly festive. In particular, Cho Kyu-sung received great congratulations from his colleagues and staff. Cho Kyu-sung said, `Coach Mike Tullberg approached me and congratulated me on the victory and the goal. Thank you so much."

However, Cho Kyu-sung does not appear to be in a physical condition to play full-time for 90 minutes yet. The 32 minutes on this day is the most played this season. It is natural that the physical strength to play 90 minutes must be supported in order to be selected on the list of A-match friendly matches against Brazil and Paraguay to be held in Korea in October. This is why it is likely to take some time to return to the national team.
Mitwillan, who finished 0-0 in the first half, took the lead with Junior Brumado's first goal in the fifth minute of the second half. Mitwillan, who replaced offensive resources such as Cho Kyu-sung to widen the gap, won the game with consecutive goals by Valdemar Andreasen in the 18th minute of the second half and Cho Kyu-sung in the 34th minute of the second half.
Cho Kyu-sung's teammate 'National Team Centerback'Lee Han-beom played full-time for 90 minutes as a three-back's middle defender, supporting his scoreless victory.
