On the 30th, Korea conceded the opening goal to China's Wang Weidong in the 23rd minute of the first half in the men's football semifinal of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games against China, but then leveled the score with Lee Young-jun's header equalizer in the 33rd minute, and in the 37th minute of the second half, Bae Jun-ho headed the ball into China's net, completing a 2-1 comeback and securing their ticket to the final. However, the problem was that China harassed the Korean players with rough play throughout the match, and by the 13th minute of the second half, Kim Ji-soo had already clear the ball In that situation, Chinese forward Zhang Yuning belatedly pushed Kim Ji-soo down with his hand, and in another contest, Hwang Do-yoon was hit in the face by Peng Xiao's elbow, causing a nosebleed. The most nerve-wracking moment reportedly occurred just before the end of the match, About one minute into the 4 minutes of added time in the second half, when Choi Seok-hyun tried to clear the ball far, Wang Weidong attempted to tackle him, but Choi Seok-hyun charged with the sole of his foot and struck Choi Seok-hyun's leg, causing the dangerous tackle and falling to the ground. The referee immediately declared a foul, but did not show any cards to Wang Weidong, which raised questions. Lee Young-pyo said, "He went in with his soles raised. He held back like this," pointing out that no cards were shown. Lee Young-pyo then reiterated that even after Choi Seok-hyun protested, the referee tried to restart the game with Korea's free kick without showing cards, saying, " It's hard for the referee to put up with your heel, but I am holding back this time." From the middle of the match, Lee Young-pyo did not hide his concerns about the decision, saying, "Usually, I don't want to talk about the referee, but today I made him do it." Korea held onto their lead until the end despite China's rough harassment, In the final match at 7:30 PM on October 3rd, it seems likely they will face Japan!! China neither tries to play well nor teaches fair play,,, and just wants to criticize them!!!!!!!
