Kim didn’t stop there. In the eighth minute of the second half, Bae Seo-joon, who took over the ball after a defensive mistake, drove down the right side and sent a low cross. Kim Ji-ho beat the defense and slotted it home.
Kim made it a day to remember by assisting Lee Kyu-dong’s wedge in the 21st minute of the second half.
