Suwon FC succeeded in winning for the first time. Suwon FC, which had no victory since the opening with four draws and three losses, secured a thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind victory with Lee Hyun-yong's theater goal in extra time in the second half against Kim Cheon, who is doing well at Suwon Stadium on the 12th. A difficult game was expected against Gimcheon, who showed the best flow in the K-League with six undefeated games, but Suwon FC caused an unusual situation to catch a big fish. The final result of the 8th round came back to the bottom (7 points and 6 goals), but once jumped to 10th place.
On the 13th, Gangwon FC wrote a drama. Gangwon, which fell to the bottom with Suwon FC's victory, hit Gwangju FC, which won two consecutive games and was excited. Even that day was the day when Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo returned from disciplinary action. Gangwon won 1-0 with Choi Byung-chan's winning goal in the 16th minute of the first half with a good performance. He escaped three consecutive losses with a goal in 319 minutes. Gangwon, which had 10 points, jumped to 8th place at once.
Daegu FC was in bad luck. Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun, who made a splash by catching both games after the opening, became the first coach to pack his bags this season. It was a match against Ulsan HD on Wednesday when Bae Soo-jin hit the ball at home. However, there was no reversal. It was a 0-1 loss. He has lost six games in a row. Coach Park eventually chose to resign voluntarily, with the "out call" surrounding the shock. Immediately, the official announcement was made. Daegu, which once led the way, fell to 11th place, tied for the sixth game with seven points (nine goals).
From 8th place Gangwon to the lowest Suwon FC, a tight structure of only three points has been completed. In the meantime, FC Anyang with 9 points is in 9th place, and Jeju United with 8 points is in 8th place. Anyang, the promotion team, has 3 wins and 5 losses without a draw, and Jeju, which was classified as the top-ranked team before the opening, has not been able to advance. With the second-place Gimcheon (14 points) to the seventh-place Pohang Steelers (12 points) continuing a two-point thin ice trend, the mood changed last weekend as the lower-ranked teams staged a rebellion to catch the top teams. Right now, the relegation battle is on fire.
Competition among teams below is also competition, but the gap between the upper water is not large. The point difference between the first Daejeon Hana Citizen (17 points) and the last place is only 10 points. Daejeon even played one more game. It is the smallest difference in the last four seasons. In the 2023 season, the difference between the lead and the bottom of the 8th round reached a whopping 17 points. When a winning streak overlaps with a losing streak, the top and bottom can change at once. Moreover, this season is the Spring and Autumn Warring States era, where there is no strong team like Ulsan, which has dominated the league over the past few years. It's worth a shot at anyone.
Starting from the 8th round, the bottom-ranked and this season's ranking fight is also in full swing.
