In the 1993 U.S. World Cup qualifier final match held in Doha, Korea was standing on the edge of a cliff, hoping that Korea would win by more than 3 goals and that Japan would not win.



In the second half, Go Jeong-woon, Hwang Seon-hong, and Ha Seok-joo scored consecutive goals to beat North Korea by 3 goals, but the players couldn't laugh.



Because Japan had a 2-1 lead over Iraq at the same time.



[Ha Seok-joo/Ajou University soccer coach: I was going to hold a ceremony right on our bench, but the atmosphere was so bad.

Ah, Japan is beating Iraq...

.]



However, a false reversal occurred.



The game ended in a 2-2 draw as Iraq's last shot just before the end went through Japan's net.



[(Japan) scored a draw!

Korea advances (World Cup finals)!]



It was the moment when the 'Miracle in Doha' happened.



[Ko Jung-woon/Gimpo FC coach: I don't have a favorite expression on the bench, and I didn't know until the game was won 3-0.

(In the crowd) I sang hurray, but I think I saw it first.]



29 years later, at the World Cup held in Doha, head coach Go Jeong-woon visited the site and tasted a miracle once again.



The long time he waited with bated breath after his victory and the extreme excitement were vividly reproduced.



[Ko Jung-woon/Gimpo FC coach: It was only for a short time during the preliminary round in 1993, but this time, the feeling of watching the match for about 5 minutes while holding my breath really dried my blood.]



The seniors told the juniors, saying that the miracle of Doha is just beginning. It gave me strength.



[Ha Seok-joo/Director of Ajou University's soccer department: The burden will be much greater for Brazil now than for us.

(Doha) Miracles can happen again, I think it would be nice if this (miracle) happens again in the match against Brazil (R16), now.

Fighting!]
