Uhm Ji-seong (21, Gwangju FC) was sent off for ‘accumulation of warnings’. Coincidentally, as soon as he was gone, Gwangju conceded the opening goal and eventually lost. Umji-seong must have gained great enlightenment and learning.

Um Ji-seong, a ‘left striker’ who started for 2 consecutive games following the 1st round, was sent off for a rough tackle in the middle of the second half while holding a warning.
Um Ji-seong, who showed off his presence by boasting of his composure before the goal following his reckless breakthrough in the first half, tried to present victory to Gwangju in the home opener, but he got out of the ground in the worst way.
This was the situation when Um Ji-sung was sent off. In the 10th minute of the second half when the score was 0-0, he made a deep tackle on Seoul defender Kim Jin-ya who was trying to receive a pass near the half-line. In a situation where the ball was missing, he tripped over the ankle of Kim Jin-ya’s right foot and fell.
Seeing this, the referee immediately pulled out a warning card. It was a signal to inform Umji-seong, who was holding a warning for a foul a minute ago, to leave.
Um Ji-seong is the ‘core’ of the Gwangju attack. In the K-League 1 opening match against Suwon Samsung in the first round (Gwangju won 1-0), Um Ji-seong was the player who energized the attack. Also, Um Ji-seong was one of the four players that Olympic team coach Hwang Seon-hong visited the stadium and paid attention to.
Um Ji-sung showed the best performance in the team in the first half of the day, so his exit in the second half was even more painful for Gwangju.
Um Ji-seong shook Seoul’s net once. In the 39th minute of the first half, Um Ji-seong caught the ball near the center line and reached the gate of Seoul with an aggressive breakthrough. He beat a defender with a skill, then knocked out two Seoul players next to him, and hit the net with a shot.
As a result, Gwangju’s Sandro pushed the Seoul defender Kim Joo-seong hard while Um Ji-seong was driving the ball into the goal. However, his breakthrough and especially his composure before the goal were enough to surprise everyone.
When Um Ji-seong was sent off, Gwangju was taken aback. This was an opportunity for Seoul, and in the third minute of the game, Seoul scored the winning goal. A cross from the left flank was headed by Osmar. Seoul completely broke Gwangju’s will to pursue with Park Dong-jin’s additional goal in the second half of extra time.
Umji-seong, who was coldly holding a warning, should have played cautiously. However, he left regret for himself and the team with unnecessary tackles. It is Um Ji-seong who must have learned a lot through the Seoul exhibition.
