Draw



Well it's not a win, but it's not a loss either. Only a fraction of the crowd from the first game showed up today; it was a little disheartening, but we kept our spirits high, even after Gyeongnam scored ten minutes into the game.



The cheering section was particularly vibrant, especially with this one Korean guy beating the chants out with a drum. It definitely reinforced the chorus and helped organized everyone's cheering efforts.

After another twenty minutes or so, Jeju United finally took advantage of their chances and scored to tie the game up.



I think the first goal got Jeju United into the game and to be more focused, as they were looking pretty unorganized on the field, especially their defense.

There was quite a few injuries on both sides during the game. Our goal tender was subbed out late in the first half, which could have been the deciding factor in the game, but the second string tender managed to put forth a worthy effort and keep his team in the game.



Once the game had finished, a bunch of us went back to my apartment for an afternoon barbeque. I had made up some kebabs and marinated some steaks the night before; they were delicious.



The barbeque pit is on my rooftop and the view is spectacular any direction you look: islets just off the shore, orange groves and farms amongst the forest, and oreums, silhouetted by Hallasan, with the World Cup Stadium in the foreground. It was a nice relaxing evening, exactly what I needed.
