It was a disappointing draw. Incheon scored twice in the second half to take the lead, with Jerso being the hero. In the fifth minute of the second half, Lee Tae-hee received the ball and accurately kicked it to Jerso, who was breaking forward. After winning a contest with Lee Soon-min, Jerso chest-trapped and shot from inside the penalty box. The ball hit the post and slipped into the back of the net.
Then, in the 15th minute of the second half, Mugosa won the ball in the Incheon zone and played an exquisite through ball from the center circle to a penetrating Jerso. After winning a contest with Ahn Young-gyu, Jerso calmly slid the ball past the goalkeeper.
Incheon led 2-0, but conceded two goals in the last minute of the second half and had to settle for a draw.
The man of the match was the ‘multi-goal’ Gerso. “First of all, it was a very difficult game. Gwangju is a good team these days. What they do well is that they have their own color of play when they have the ball. We had to have a lot of patience. We had to have a lot of patience, and we also had to time our counterattacks well.”
The timing of the counterattack was perfect. On his first and second goals, he said, “I was aware of the space opening up. I saw that they didn’t have a lot of numbers, so I made a move to try and find the space. My strength is to create and exploit when there is a lot of space. In that moment, I used my speed to find the space well,” he explained.
For her second goal, she even beat the goalkeeper. “Honestly, I had a lot of thoughts in my head. I had a lot of ideas about how to score the goal, but at that moment I was thinking about the simplest thing I could do. I chose a simple way to score a goal in a sure way,” he said.
Jerso was taken off in the second half after collapsing on the pitch. “I wasn’t injured. I was just tired from all the running and sprinting. I didn’t think I could help the game anymore, so I asked to be substituted. It’s natural to get tired after repeated sprints. I’m lucky he didn’t get injured.”
By now, he had accumulated 12 offensive points (six goals, six assists). He is tied for third in the league in offensive points (1st with 15 and 2nd with 14). When asked if he felt less pressure than before, he said, “There was no pressure. However, as a striker, there is always pressure to score during the season. But there was no pressure on any numbers. I trusted God, I persevered. And I think that’s how I got to this point, by being able to focus on the situation and not losing confidence in myself.”
Although it was not recorded as an assist (Ahn Young-gyu was credited with a ball touch), he scored the second goal after receiving an exquisite pass from Mugosa. The same goes for Daegu FC, and the pair have a fantastic chemistry. “Mugosa is an experienced player, he’s been with Incheon for a long time. He’s settled in so well that you don’t think he left (in the middle of the season). I think he knows this place very well. I mainly try to make sure that we agree on what he wants. Mugosa’s strengths are ball retention and scoring. So when I have the ball, I can find the space. Also, if I give it to him, he can finish it. We talk about it a lot,” he said.
The multi-goal performance gave them a 2-0 lead, but it didn’t translate into a win. “Of course, if you score two goals and win, it’s a different feeling than if you don’t win, it’s an indescribable joy. But this is soccer. It’s an unscripted drama where you don’t know what will happen in 90 minutes. We have a much more important Asian Champions League playoffs coming up. We need to put today behind us and focus on Tuesday.”
