Seol Young-woo also lost the first round of Zvezda UCLPO

Zvezda lost 1-2 to Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League Playoff at Asmira Stadion in Bodo, Norway, on the 21st (Korea Standard Time).

With this defeat, Zvezda will be given a difficult mission to play in the Champions League finals only if they win the second game at home on the 29th.

Zvezda accumulated 93 points in the Serbian league with 30 wins, three draws and three losses last season, beating out FK Partizan (77 points) played by Ko. In addition to the league, Zvezda defeated Wojvodina 2-1 in the final of the Cup championship to achieve the title, winning two gold medals.

Not only his team's performance but also his individual performance was perfect. "Hwang In-beom was named the MVP of the 2023-2024 season. He was chosen by the coaches and captains of his respective clubs," the Serbian Super Liga said. The team produced meaningful results in the first year of its transfer.

Based on this, Hwang and Seol were both listed on the starting lineup on the day. Hwang played as the center midfielder as usual, and Seol was assigned to the right side defense.

Zvezda, led by Hwang In-beom and Seol Young-woo, failed to lead the away game. Zvezda, which was a little underdog, tried to bring the flow with Hwang In-beom's bold mid-range shot in the 39th minute of the first half, but it got out of the net and swallowed the disappointment.

With the score tied 0-0 in the first half, Zvezda was shaken by conceding consecutive goals early in the second half. Zvezda, who lost a header due to an opponent's cross attack in the seventh minute of the second half, scored an additional goal 10 minutes later while Seol Young-woo was defending opponent striker Isaac Divvik Mata one-on-one.

Zvezda, who was on the verge of losing the match, scored a comeback goal from Hwang In-beom's toes. In the 30th minute of the second half, Ognen Mimovic scored a goal from Hwang In-beom's free kick that was accurately posted to the goalpost, making it 1-2. Although the team ended the first match with a loss due to lack of notable outcome in the remaining time, thanks to Hwang In-beom's help, Zvezda succeeded in turning the tables in the second match.

Built-in midfielder Hwang In-beom and freshman Seol Young-woo are favored by coach Vladan Milojevic. Hwang, who was evaluated as Zvezda's best player last season, has played in five matches and is playing as a key role this season as well. His productivity in attack points has increased. Hwang, who tied the previous season's record with four assists in the league, added one assist on the day to increase the number to five.

Seol, who moved from Ulsan HD this summer, also scored his debut goal 10 days ago and began to gain ground gradually. Having played full-time in three consecutive matches in the league, Seol is building up his confidence early on in overseas matches by playing all 90 minutes until the Champions League playoffs.
