Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Charles Lokolingoy struck twice in six second-half minutes as Chungnam Asan FC came from behind to beat Siheung Citizen FC 2-1 in the FA Cup Round 3. The South Korean second-tier side now march on, having overturned a deficit that looked set to end their cup run.

Siheung took a deserved lead through Jo Min-ho in the 26th minute, the forward converting after a period of sustained pressure. The visitors remained the better side until the 79th minute, when Charles Lokolingoy levelled matters with a fine finish. Six minutes later, the same player struck again to complete the turnaround, leaving Siheung shell-shocked after they had controlled the contest for so long.

Siheung held 54% of the possession and won six corners to Chungnam’s four, yet they could not convert that control into a winning scoreline. The standout was Paulo Rocha, whose rating of 7.37 was the highest on the pitch despite him not finding the net. CheckLive's model rated Siheung the stronger side, but the result did not confirm that prediction; live signals, however, backed the eventual winner at 2.35 and again at 2.65.
