'Human Victory Icon' Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan) was a certain 'Star'.

Cho Kyu-sung, who returned to the national team after a year and eight months after ending his long-term injury, fired a return shot in his return match. Son Heung-min (LA FC) scored an additional goal in the 42nd minute of the second half with a 1-0 lead in an A-match friendly match against Bolivia at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 14th.Cho Kyu-sung, who was replaced by Son Heung-min in the 30th minute of the second half with cheers from fans, showed off his killer side that he did not miss once. The very thing we showed against Ghana at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

From the right, a cross that Kim Moon-hwan (Daejeon) stabbed into the gate hit the opponent's defender's foot and connected to Cho Kyu-sung, who was running near the goal area. Cho Kyu-sung was calm. Cho Kyu-sung, who blocked the opponent's defender with his body and secured shooting space, cut the net with a left-footed shot to avoid the opponent's goalkeeper running out.




Cho Kyu-sung's A-match record remained in 39 games and nine goals for nearly two years. He shook off his "nine-seasons" with the score of the day and exploded his 10th goal in 40 games. With about seven months left before the 2026 World Cup finals in North Korea and the U.S., Cho Kyu-sung, who we loved, is back. Cho Kyu-sung's goal ended the game with a 2-0 victory for South Korea. One step closer to port 2.
