Genk was on the verge of losing the match. Genk ended the first half 0-0, but lost the first point in the second half. Kerim Mravti, who took over Nicola Storm's pass, shook Genk's net in the 15th minute of the second half. Genk was pulled 0-1. Oh Hyun-kyu, who was substituted in the 14th minute of the second half, will take on an important mission to tie and come from behind.

It was Oh who performed the given task perfectly. Oh induced a penalty kick in the 29th minute of the second half, and he himself kicked the kicker. Oh fired a powerful shot towards the bottom left and scored. It was Oh who tied the score 1-1.

Oh also turned the tables. With a corner kick in the seventh minute of extra time in the second half, Oh took possession of the ball by the opponent team's goalkeeper. Oh used his concentration and attempted a left-footed turning shot, and the ball went straight into the net. It was Oh who dramatically turned the tables 2-1.

Immediately after scoring the goal, Oh showed off his topless ceremony and fans cheered as if the stadium was leaving. Encouraged by Oh's "one-man show," Genk finished the match 2-1.

Oh Hyun-kyu was named the most valuable player of the match. Football statistics magazine Footmob gave Oh an 8.7 rating and MOM. According to the media, Oh played 31 minutes and made short but strong impressions with two goals, one chance creation, 86 percent success rate (6/7), 12 touches in the box, six dribbles and one pass.

Oh has accumulated attack points for "three consecutive games." Starting with an assist against Anderlecht in the 4th round, Oh scored his debut goal in the league against Dender in the 5th round. He has garnered three goals and one assist in three games, including multiple goals in this game, to demonstrate his skills. Pink is using Oh Hyun-kyu as a substitute, while Oh never misses an opportunity to play.

A green light has been turned on for the re-election of the national team. Oh was unable to join the national team after the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup that took place in January. He lost his chance to play at Celtic. However, Oh has decided on a new challenge to Belgium, signaling the beginning of his revival.

Tomorrow, on the 30th, the national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will announce the list of players to play against Jordan and Irka in the third Asian qualifying round for the FIFA North-China World Cup in October. Attention is focusing on whether Oh Hyun-kyu, who played the best, will be able to play the A-match again in the national team uniform for the first time in a long time.
