Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Yang Si-Hoo scored once and earned a match-high 8.89 rating as Hwaseong FC came from three goals down to beat Yangpyeong FC 4-3 in the FA Cup Round 2. It was a remarkable turnaround after a disastrous opening half-hour.

Yangpyeong FC struck twice inside the first two minutes and added a third in the 68th minute through an unassisted goal, but Hwaseong had already begun their fightback when Beom-hwan Kim pulled one back in the 57th minute. Yang Si-Hoo made it 3-2 in the 70th minute, Sava Petrov levelled in the 78th, and Hwaseong completed the comeback with a stoppage-time winner in the 90th minute.
