Hwang Ui-jo is celebrating after scoring his first goal in the national soccer match between Korea and El Salvador, hosted by Hana Bank, held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon on the 20th.

Hwang Ui-jo, who was excluded from the Korean national soccer team due to privacy issues including allegations of illegal filming, scored goals in two consecutive games with a great mid-range shot for his team Norwich City. However, Hwang Ui-jo suffered a hamstring injury after the 'wonder goal' and was replaced. Norwich City's head coach expressed disappointment over the injury to main striker Hwang Ui-jo.

Hwang Ui-jo started as a frontline striker in the away game against Watford in the 18th round of the 2023-24 England Championship (Second Division) held at Vicarage Road in Watford, England on the 29th (Korean time) and hit a devastating right-footed mid-range shot in the 12th minute of the first half.

Norwich took the lead with Danny Bass' first goal three minutes into the first half, and Hwang Ui-jo scored an additional goal nine minutes later.

Hwang Ui-jo hit a right-footed mid-range shot from outside the penalty box, hitting the Watford net. It was such a great shot that ‘Sky Sports’ praised Hwang Ui-jo’s goal, calling it “a blockbuster thunderbolt goal scored from 30 yards (approximately 27 meters) out.”

Following the match against Queens Park Rangers (QPR) on the 26th, he scored in two consecutive games and his third goal of the season (one assist).

But the joy didn't last long. He complained of hamstring pain and was replaced by Ashley Barnes in the 17th minute of the first half.

On the afternoon of the 28th, Lee Yun-nam, head of the ethics committee of the Korea Football Association, attended a meeting of the organization discussing the future selection to the national team and the maintenance of national team qualifications of national football player Hwang Ui-jo, who is under police investigation for 'alleged illegal filming', at the conference room of the Korea Football Association in Jongno-gu, Seoul. 

Unfortunately, Norwich was unable to maintain its lead after Hwang Ui-jo left the game and suffered a painful come-from-behind defeat of 2-3. Norwich, with 7 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses (23 points), ranked 14th in the championship.

Hwang Ui-jo, who was recently investigated by the police on charges of illegal filming in Korea, was decided to be disciplined by the Korea Football Association on the 28th by temporarily depriving him of his national team qualifications.

Aside from the controversy at home, Norwich continued to use Hwang Ui-jo, and although he was in good form recently, scoring consecutive goals, he left due to injury.

According to local media such as The Athletic, Norwich coach David Wagner cited Hwang Ui-jo's sudden injury as one of the reasons for the defeat.

After the game, he bit his lip and said, “Hwang Ui-jo’s injury did not help the team,” and added, “If he is missing in the future, it will also affect the entire team (offense).”

The Athletic predicted that “Hwang Ui-jo is suspected of having a hamstring injury,” and that “he will not be able to play in the game for a while.” 카지노사이트
