Gangwon’s lost focus a concern for matchwinner Kim

Chuncheon: Kim Gun-hee delivered an unforgettable performance as Gangwon FC edged Vissel Kobe 4-3 in a nail-biting AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 tie on Wednesday.

Having already taken a 3-0 cushion, Gangwon let their guard down to allow Kobe to claw their way back in the second half to level the tie.

Just when it seemed Kobe had completed the comeback, Kim delivered the decisive goal when he smashed home the winner from inside the six-yard-box to send the Chuncheon fans into raptures.

He pulled one back three minutes after the restart and Jean Patrick added a second two minutes later, with Miyashiro equalising with little more than a minute to play. But Kim scored the winner six minutes later to break Kobe hearts.
