In the stands, many South Korean fans roared in anger.
But even more fans had fallen silent.
No one could have imagined that the match, which had been going so well in the first half, would take such a violent turn in the second.
Stretchers, red cards, bloodshed—so much had happened in just over twenty minutes that many people's minds went blank from the shock.
In the VIP box, the South Korean president's face was grim, and he remained silent.
The many invited guests around him whispered amongst themselves.
Zheng Mengjun's hands gripped the armrests of his chair, and he sat as still as a statue, unmoving.
When Park Ji-sung was kicked to the ground and carried off the field, Zheng Mengjun had already been left dumbfounded.
He had considered that the United States Team might retaliate, but for the sake of his own future, he was willing to bear the consequences of his actions.
