This South Korean Soccer Player Scored An Outrageous Goal And Then Got Shy And It’s So Cute
29-year-old Jang Sel-gi is going viral for getting shy after scoring a tie-breaking goal during a friendly match against Haiti ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup
South Korean defender Jang Sel-gi had the cutest response to scoring the tie-breaking winning goal during the team’s last tune up friendly match against Haiti ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
In a video of the match from July 8 in Seoul, Jang, 29, who hadn’t scored since February 2020, can be seen visibly surprised by her mid-range shot straight into the back corner of the net.
Her reaction is now going viral for being incredibly wholesome.
“It’s been such a long time since I last scored, and my celebration today was embarrassing,” Jang said. “Hopefully, I will score another one soon and show off a better celebration next time.”
The Taegeuk Ladies, who are currently competing in their fourth Women’s FIFA World Cup, have been generating a lot of buzz lately.
Most notably, Jang’s teammate, 16-year-old Korean-American teammate Casey Yujin Phair, became the youngest player ever to take the pitch in World Cup history.
After a 1-0 loss to Morocco in their second match of the Games, South Korea will next face Germany on Thursday August 3.
