Incheon fans angry at the opponent's goalkeeper's provocation, throwing water bottles

In the "Kyungin Derby" between FC Seoul and Incheon United in the professional soccer K League 1, Seoul's captain Ki Sung-yueng was hit by a water bottle from the stands in Incheon.

Ki Sung-yueng fell down after being hit by a sharp point while trying to protect his fellow player from a water bottle thrown on the field by Incheon fans after an away match against Incheon in the 12th round of the K League 1 2024 at Incheon Football Stadium on the 11th.

Throughout the "Kyungin Derby" in the rain, players engaged in mental and physical fights, including physical fights. The nerve race between the supporters of the two teams was as tight as the ground.

In the extra time of the first half, Incheon's Gerso was sent off for pushing Seoul's Choi Joon, and in the process, Seoul's Kwon Wan-kyu and Incheon's Mugosa fought each other and received yellow cards. Incheon's coach Cho Seong-hwan, who protested the decision, was also shown a yellow card. Seoul, thanks to Willian's multiple goals in the second half, came from behind to win 2-1.

When the whistle rang to announce the end of the game, Seoul goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom suddenly turned around and held a ceremony to roar at Incheon supporters, raising his arms and clenching his fists. Some outraged Incheon supporters began throwing water bottles at Baek Jong-beom. Seoul and Incheon players tried to restrain Incheon supporters, but the excitement in the stands did not easily subside.

Finally, Ki Sung-yueng, who was trying to protect Baek Jong-beom, couldn't avoid the water bottle flying towards him and was hit by a critical point and collapsed on the field. Ki Sung-yueng, who had been unable to get up from his seat for a while, left the stadium with his teammates' assistance.

"I don't know why I threw the water bottle, but it's a dangerous act. I think the federation will make a good judgment," Ki told reporters at the mixed zone after the game.

Baek Jong-beom said, "From the beginning of the second half, I raised my middle finger and cursed at my parents," but added, "It was something I should not do as a player. I am very sorry to make Incheon fans feel bad." " Incheon's goalkeeper Lee Bum-soo said it was the goalkeeper's fate, and he said no. I kept saying sorry to Incheon's defender Kim Dong-min," he explained at the time.  배트맨토토

The Incheon club issued an apology late at night on its official website and social networking services SNS and said, "We will thoroughly investigate the causes related to the throwing of water bottles and try to prevent such accidents from happening again."
