The last-place team, FC Gucheok Jangsin, and the "Gucheok Killer," FC Balladream, are set for a high-stakes showdown for a ticket to the semifinals.

The upcoming episode of SBS's "Kick a Goal," airing on the 22nd, will feature the third match of the "2nd GIFA Cup," a single-elimination tournament, showcasing the fated rivalry between FC Gucheok Jangsin and FC Balladream.

FC Gucheok Jangsin, which fell to the bottom of the rankings last season after suffering the pain of conceding 20 goals, has re-equipped its signature "tenacious spirit" to break the chain of defeats. FC Balladream, their opponents, also sharpened their vigilance and determination to win, stating, "We also returned after being relegated and won the championship, so we should never underestimate the grit of a last-place team."

To save the struggling FC Gucheok Jangsin, Cho Won-hee, known as the "Korean Gattuso," has been appointed as the new head coach. Declaring, "If they are busy, I will go to their front door to coach them one-on-one," Coach Cho has boosted the players' stamina and mental strength through his intense "Cho-parta" training. Expectations are high on whether the reborn FC Gucheok Jangsin can pull off a "rebellion of the last-place team."

Meanwhile, a touching story from Jung Ye-won of FC Balladream is drawing attention. Her older sister, who is just one week away from giving birth, visited the stadium with her full-term belly. Jung Ye-won moved the set to tears by expressing her deep affection, saying, "My sister raised me in place of our mother who passed away early. I want to be a great source of strength for my sister who will soon become a mother." Attention is focused on whether Jung Ye-won will be able to score and lead her team to victory with the support of her most reliable pillar of strength, her sister.

The unmissable clash between FC Gucheok Jangsin and FC Balladream, both standing on the edge of a cliff, will be revealed on "Kick a Goal," airing on Wednesday, July 22, at 9 PM.
