Swansea City striker Um Ji-sung (24) laughed and cried. He induced a penalty in the first half, but allowed a penalty in the second half, giving him an excuse for losing a point.
Swansea drew 2-2 at home in the 41st round of the "2025-2026 England Championship (Second Division)" against Middlesbrough at Swansea Dotcom Stadium in Wales, England, on the 7th (Korea time).
Swansea, which has been mired in a four-game winless streak (two draws and two losses), ranked 15th with 54 points (15 wins, nine draws and 17 losses). Middlesbrough came in third with 72 points (20 wins, 12 draws and 9 losses).
Um Ji-sung, who started as a left-side striker, played full season.
In the extra time of the first half, Um Ji-sung induced a penalty kick, creating a foothold for the reversal. Um Ji-sung, who dug into the back space of the defense, received a lobbing pass from his teammate and became a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. The moment Um Ji-sung dribbled, he tripped over the goalkeeper's hand, and the referee immediately declared a penalty. Jeanne Bipotnik, a kicker, shook the net with a shot that deceived the goalkeeper's direction.
But Um Ji-sung provided an excuse for the tie in the second half. In the 29th minute of the second half, Callum Britton fell while competing with Um Ji-sung on the left side of the penalty box. The referee declared a penalty after judging that Um Ji-sung pushed it with his hand. Tommy Conway then kicked a penalty kick to tie the score.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw as Swansea, who gave up the momentum, failed to score any more goals.
According to "Foot Mob," which specializes in soccer statistics, Um Ji-sung recorded one shot, one opportunity creation, 75% (15/20 pass success rate), and four clearances. Footmob gave Um Ji-sung a median rating of 7.2 within the team.
