To shortly recap about the previous games that SuwonFC women had, Suwon FC won a victory against Incheon Hyundai Steel 3-1 in the quarterfinals on the 9th, and finished the sports competition 5-3 against Hwacheon KSPO in the semifinals on the 10th, and 3-0 in the final.
Ji So-yeon, who played for Chelsea Women in Europe, scored multiple goals in the quarterfinals and semifinals in this tournament, and played a key role in winning by giving her teammates a lot of goal chances while consistently being marked by opponents.
After the final match, Ji So-yeon said in an interview, "There were many injured players in the team and every game we had was hard, but the players focused and showed effort until the end, so we was able to achieve the result of winning. I'll show you good performance in the rest of the league."
As a fan of Suwon FC, I am very proud of Ji So-yeon, and I am happy that each of her plays seems to help the club grow. Her humility in the interview was very impressive, and I hope Suwon fC female players will continue to help each other and show better results in the league.
