Um Ji-sung properly hurt coach Enze Postecoglou's pride.

Swansea City, where Um Ji-sung is active, won 3-2 in the third round of the Carabao Cup in the 2025-2026 season against Nottingham Forest at Swansea Dotcom Stadium in Swansea, England on the 18th (Korea time). After a dramatic victory, Swansea made it to the fourth round.

There has been a big change in Nottingham recently. Coach Nunu Espiritu Santo, who led the sensation last season, was replaced. The replacement was Postecoglou, who lifted the trophy with Son Heung-min at Tottenham. Postecoglou got off to a bad start as he suffered a 0-3 defeat at Arsenal, his debut match. He aimed for his first win over Swansea, an English Championship (minor league) club.




With Thumbs up in the starting line-up, Postecoglou and Nottingham appeared to take Swansea lightly. Nottingham took the lead when Igor Jeju scored in the counterattack in the 15th minute of the first half. Jeju's first goal protagonist made it 2-0 just before the end of the first half by completing another perfect offensive work.

It was a first half that seemed to end with Nottingham's victory, but the game began to turn upside down on the toes of the Korean national team Um Ji-sung. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Um Ji-sung stepped up as a corner kicker. Swansea began to follow as Cameron Burgess finished off Thumbs' sharp kick.

Swansea did not give up. There have been several run crises, but Swansea, who endured well, made a miracle in extra time. Two minutes of extra time in the second half: This time again, it started with Um Ji Sung. Um Ji Sung took it out well to Liam Cleen on the right. The game was at square one when Bipotnik, who took the ball connected by Clen to the center, finished it exquisitely. Just before the end of the game, Swansea completed a great upset. The game was dramatically turned upside down when Burgess pushed the ball back that hit the post with a mid-range shot. Swansea City Dotcom Stadium is literally in a frenzy.

It was also a performance that could create an opportunity for Um Ji-sung to turn around. Um Ji-sung, who moved from Gwangju FC to Swansea last season, was disappointed in his offensive points compared to his participation. His performance was not bad, but he played in 40 games, scoring three goals and three assists.

Perhaps in the aftermath, Um Ji-sung was a little behind in the main competition at the beginning of this season. In both of the last two league games, he failed to start and played only as a substitute. The offensive point was not exploding again this season. Um Ji-sung himself must have felt pressured about the offensive point, but he contributed greatly to the upset victory against Nottingham, a Premier League (EPL) club.




Meanwhile, Postecoglou got off to a bad start due to the theater defeat against Swansea following the crushing defeat against Arsenal. Nottingham also showed its willingness to win, but the difficulty level rose further.
