The Best Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2017 K League Classic MVP Lee Jae-sung had not scored in the past six league games. In this round, Lee ended his goal drought.<\/p>\n<p>Jeonbuk Hyundai were about to celebrate their fifth consecutive win with Lee Dong-gook&#8217;s brace on 60th and 92nd minutes. Before the final whistle, Lee added another goal. It took three touches for this prominent midfielder to run Jeonnam&#8217;s three defenders ragged. As he saw the goalkeeper coming out, directed the ball\u00a0to the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>This goal proved Lee&#8217;s technics and\u00a0creativity.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11930\" src=\"https:\/\/football-tribe.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2018\/04\/343881ad74a4efc9212e1c01d6a8ad0f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
