The power of the promotion team FC Anyang was great.

Anyang won 2-1 with Choi Kyu-hyun's winning goal in the second half in the 10th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' home game against Jeju at Anyang Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on the 26th.

As a result, Anyang continued the trend of alternating wins and losses. After losing 1-3 to Gimcheon on the 8th of last month, he recorded 'loss-win-win-win-loss-loss-loss-loss-loss-loss-loss' until the last round against Ulsan (0-1 loss), and added a victory on the day.

Anyang, the only team without a draw in K League 1 this season, jumped three places from eighth place to fifth place with five wins, six losses and 15 points (11 games).

Two 'Wondergol' gave Anyang three valuable points.

Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon set up Mota and Mateus as the offensive leaders and formed a midfield team with Joo Hyun-woo, Choi Kyu-hyun, Kim Jung-hyun, and Chae Hyun-woo. Kim Ji-hoon, Park Jong-hyun, Kim Young-chan, and Lee Tae-hee set up the defense, and Kim Da-sol wore goalkeeper gloves.

The away team Jeju faced off with Yuri Jonathan and Kim Jun-ha Seo Jin-soo three-top. Nam Tae-hee, Lee Chang-min, and Lee Tal-ro formed the three-middle, and Ahn Tae-hyun, Lim Chae-min, Jang Min-gyu, and Kim Ryun-sung formed the four-back. Kim Dong-joon defended the goal.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Anyang took the lead with an early first goal. The ball soared high in the penalty area and shook the net with an acrobatic left-footed volley after turning.

Mota increased his score for the season to five goals with his highest scoring ability, scoring three goals following the match against Pohang (1-2 loss) Suwon FC (3-1 win) in April alone. Tied for third place in the scoring position.

Jeju had a golden opportunity to equalize in the 33rd minute of the first half. Seo Jin-soo got a penalty foul on Kim Ji-hoon at the gate. In an atmosphere where Seo Jin-soo and Yuri Jonathan confronted each other for the penalty kicker position, the penalty decision was corrected to no foul after an on-field review of the VAR system. Anyang led 1-0 in the first half.

Jeju scored an equalizer in the fourth minute of the second half and succeeded in chasing. Yuri Jonathan opened the goal with a jump header for Kim Jun-ha's cross from the right to the gate. Yuri Jonathan, who scored the most goal in the season, put the ball in his stomach and performed a 'pregnancy ceremony'.

Joy was also brief, and Anyang led again with an additional goal in the 15th minute of the second half. In the 12th minute of the second half, Yago, who replaced Joo Hyun-woo, sent a sharp left-footed cross from the left side of the opponent's box to the gate, which Choi Kyu-hyun connected with a non-stop volley and stabbed the ball into the corner of the goal.

In a hurry, Jeju launched a counterattack by putting in Yu In-su Oh Jae-hyuk and Denilson and Choi Byung-wook. At the end of the second half, Denilson faced a decisive scoring chance in the box, but Denilson's shot slightly missed the right outer corner of the goal.

Jeju led 66 to 34 with 16 to 9 shooting, but had a hard time hitting the last shot. The game ended with Anyang's 2-1 victory.

Jeju (11 points), which lost for the fifth time this season, ranked 10th in the relegation playoff zone. This season's away winless jinx continues (two draws and three losses).
