Yesterday, news of gold medals in badminton and golf was reported at the Hangzhou Asian Games, which are now halfway through the competition.

Let’s connect locally to hear more detailed news! Reporter Kim Sang-ik!

Let’s talk about soccer first.

I was worried that yesterday’s game against the home team, China, would not be easy, but did our players overcome it well?

[기자]

The national soccer team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, advanced to the semifinals by beating the home team China 2-0 in the quarterfinals last night.

Despite one-sided cheering and booing, we scored the first goal.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Hong Hyun-seok’s free kick split the opponent’s net.

And in the 35th minute of the first half, Song Min-gyu scored an additional goal and won 2-0.

Our players, who are challenging for their third consecutive Asian Games gold medal, will now clash with Uzbekistan in the semifinals on the night of the 4th.

Another semi-final match is between Japan and Hong Kong.

This is the resolve of captain Baek Seung-ho.

Is there one more stock that crossed the Great Wall of China yesterday? Badminton beat China and won the gold medal, right?

[기자]

Yes, women’s badminton has risen to the top in Asia for the first time in 29 years in the team event.

The final against China was a complete victory that exceeded expectations.

They won 3-0 without giving up a single set.

This is the first time we have won the women’s team event at the Asian Games since the 1994 Hiroshima Games.

It’s been 29 years since we defeated China.

These are Ahn Se-young’s thoughts.

[앵커]

The national baseball team, which is aiming for its fourth consecutive Asian Games victory, actually struggled with the Hong Kong pitcher’s slow pitch?

[기자]

Yesterday, Hong Kong pitchers threw slow balls of around 100 km/h, and our hitters had a hard time in the beginning because they couldn’t get used to these balls.

In particular, 4th batter Kang Baek-ho performed poorly with 0 hits in 4 at-bats and 3 strikeouts.

In the end, with concentrated hitting in the second half, they won the cold game 10-0 in the 8th inning.

Korea will play the second group match against Taiwan this evening.

[앵커]

What games are scheduled for today?

[기자]

There are also table tennis, women’s doubles, mind sports chess, and men’s and women’s team competitions.

Woo Sang-hyuk will participate in the high jump preliminaries.

Baseball has a second preliminary round game against Taiwan in the evening.
