Doosan, the strongest male unemployment handball, has stepped closer to winning the unified six seasons in a row.
On the 13th, Doosan won the match against Incheon City Corporation in the first leg of the 2020-2021 SK Handball Korea League men’s championship match held at the Olympic National Residence Hall in Cheongju, Chungbuk, 23-21.
With this, Doosan has risen to an advantageous position for six consecutive seasons, even if it loses by one goal in the second game held at the same place on the 15th.
If Doosan wins or draws in the second game, Doosan’s victory is also confirmed, and Incheon Metropolitan City can reach the top by winning at least three goals in the second game.
If Incheon Metropolitan City Corporation wins by two goals, the winning team is decided with a 7m throw.
Doosan took the lead with 15-10 with Jung Jeong-kyung and Kang Jeon-gu who scored six goals side by side in the first half.
In the second half of the Incheon Metropolitan City Corporation, goalkeeper Lee Chang-woo continued to save, and about 18 minutes passed, making an 18-18 tie and did not retreat.
However, from this time on, Incheon Metropolitan City Corporation was inferior in numbers with Ha Min-ho, Park Dong-hyun, and Choi Hyun-geun, who were sent off for two minutes in a row, and Doosan, who did not miss this opportunity, widened the score again to 21-18 with consecutive scores of Cho Tae-hoon and Kang Jeon-gu.
It was fortunate that the Incheon Metropolitan City Corporation was dragged by a four-goal goal, but with two minutes left for the end, Ha Min-ho and Joseph Lee scored one goal at a time and narrowed it by two goals.
Doosan’s attack was led by 7 goals in Gangjeon-gu and 6 goals in Eui-kyung.
In Korea’s top goalkeeper confrontation, Doosan Park Chan-young recorded an ERA of 37.5% (12/32) and Incheon Metropolitan City Corporation Lee Chang-woo recorded 44.1% (15/34), but Park Chan-young, who won the game, won the decision.
