YU took its second victory cup in the National Fall Football Tournament, and stepped up as the nation's top college football team.
At the 47th National Fall Football Tournament finals held at Taebaek Sports Stadium in Gangwon-don on the 29th, YU defeated Kyonggi University and won the tournament. Kim Gyung-jooon (20, Sports Science, sophomore, photo on left), who scored three goals in the first half, led the team to crush the opponents by a score of 4 to 1.
Kim Gyung-joon started off with a strike with his right foot from distance at the front of the arc in the 23rd minute of the first half. He then scored in the 33rd minute and 40th minute by connecting with his left foot from crosses that came from the right part of Kyonggi University's side to score his hat trick. YU then scored in the 26th minute of the second half with Lee Soon-min (22, Sports Science, junior), to secure their victory. Kyonggi University scored in the 40th minute of the second half, but it was too late to change the course of the match.
