Lee Kang-in scored a picturesque free kick that tied the score at 2-2 in the 38th minute of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup Group E third match (3-3 draw) against Malaysia held at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar on the 25th.

Lee Kang-in, who assisted Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart)’s headed goal with a sharp corner kick in the 21st minute of the first half,

stepped up to solve the problem once more as the game was tied 1-2 amid Malaysia’s offensive.

Lee Kang-in’s free kick, taken from behind the penalty arc in the 38th minute of the second half,

took an exquisite trajectory and crossed the defensive wall toward the corner of the goal.

Saihan Hazmi

First, Malaysia’s goalkeeper Saihan Hazmi tried to hit the ball with difficulty.

However, the ball passed Hazumi’s hand and changed its trajectory,

hit the goal post once, then hit the back of Hazumi’s hand again and went into the goal.
