Kaoru Mitoma (25), who continues to impress with Brighton & Hove Albion (hereafter referred to as Brighton), received rave reviews from the local media after a fantastic opening goal.
Brighton is in a 1-1 balance with Leicester City (hereinafter Leicester) held at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 22nd at 12:00 am (Korean time) in the 2022-2023 season Premier League round 21 schedule.
From the beginning of the first half, the two teams continued a tight flow. In the beginning, Leicester dug into the space behind the opponent’s defense with Kiernan Dewsbury Hall and Jamie Vardy, and Brighton pulled out the opponent by releasing the attack through a short pass.
In this situation, Brynton took the lead first. The main character was Mitoma. Receiving a pass from the left side in the 27th minute of the first half, Mitoma calmly overcame the defense through dribbling and attempted a shot from the front of the box.
However, Brighton were unable to defend Mitoma’s opening goal. 메이저놀이터 In the 37th minute of the first half, Mark Albrighton scored the equalizer in the opponent’s counterattack situation and balanced it.
The local media praised Mitoma’s goal, who scored the opening goal in this match. The British ‘BBC’ said, “I can’t believe it. Mitoma is a great player. He was a great scorer and he headed into the corner of the net. It’s really interesting.” Then, ‘Sky Sports’ said, “Mitoma’s incredible finishing ability. The shot went past the opposing goalkeeper and into the corner.”
Mitoma’s performance stands out. Mitoma, who joined Brighton this season, took a chance as a substitute at the beginning of the season. He started to solidify his position by showing off his unique dribbling ability, and after the World Cup, he is playing a big role as a left-sided striker in place of Leandro Trosar, who left the team. He has 5 goals and 2 assists in 18 games so far.
