There was a reason why Stoke City was so happy.

Stoke City won 2-0 away to Hull City AFC in the 39th round of the 2023-2024 Championship at MKM Stadium in Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, England on the 30th at midnight.

With three points, Stoke has 44 points (12 wins, 8 draws and 19 losses), ranking 17th in the league.

Bae Jun-ho started this race on the bench. Because he had just returned from the Olympic team, he first found a chance to play on the bench.

Bae Joon-ho came in the 26th minute of the second half when his team was holding a 1-0 lead with Josh Laurent's first goal. He replaced his team's winger, Sid Haq Shah Banovic, to lead the attack on the wing.

Bae Jun-ho's toes shone in the extra time. Grabbing the ball in front of the box, Bae gave a short, fast pass to Kijana Huber, who was empty on the right side. Huber continued his shot into the net, and with this goal, Stoke won 2-0.

Bae Joon-ho spent about 23 minutes until overtime, making his presence known by recording one help, a 100% pass success rate (9/9), two opportunities creation, one cross success, two tackles, and three ball recovery.

Bae Joon-ho, who scored consecutive goals in the 34th and 35th rounds, accumulated help on the day and recorded two goals and four assists in the league alone, marking his fourth assist of the season.

Bae Joon-ho, who is drawing attention as a key resource for the Korean U-23 national soccer team, recently participated in the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF) U-23 Championship in Saudi Arabia and contributed to Korea's victory.

However, Bae Joon-ho returned early at the request of his team Stoke after only two games to the semi-finals.

The Korea Football Association (KFA) said on Tuesday, "Bae Joon-ho's team has requested an early return to the team to prepare for the next match. The KFA and the coaching staff of the Olympic team have agreed to accept the request, and accordingly, Bae returned to the team today. I will do it."

Bae Joon-ho proved why Stoke wants to return. Bae Joon-ho, who clearly showed his presence after playing for more than 20 minutes, confidently made his name on the entry list of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Championship to be held on April 15, in line with the men's soccer qualifying round for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
