Zvezda even allowed a turnaround. In the 15th minute of the second half, goalkeeper Omri Glazer failed to punch while blocking Alvarez’s free kick, reversing the game.

There was no twist. Rather, Manchester City succeeded in scoring a wedge goal by Rodri, who dug into the box in the 28th minute of the second half. For the rest of the time, Zvezda put in Vladimir Rucic, Kings Kangwa and Milos Degenec, but it didn’t come to fruition. It ended with Manchester City’s 3-1 come-from-behind victory.

Manchester City played on September 20 (Korea Standard Time). About a month later, Hwang In-beom expressed his feelings at a meeting with domestic reporters after the Vietnam match. “I’ve dreamed of going to UCL since I was young. I was so happy to make my debut against Man City, the best team in the world. It was an honor, the stadium was so good, and the fans’ support was great. I felt grateful. I could see why world-class players are world-class and I knew what part I should study. I gained confidence to be a better player,” he said.

Hwang In-beom, who was injured while training ahead of the match against Tunisia, was absent due to his poor physical condition in the match against Vietnam. Regarding the extent of the injury, he said, “I have to go to Serbia and check my condition. There is a game on the weekend and the next game is UCL. The club was worried a lot, but it didn’t get worse. I think I’ll have to take good care of myself and see if I can play on the weekend. I will manage and play well in UCL or upcoming league games. I feel I have to manage it well because the schedule is tight,” he said, strengthening his will.
