Suwon ended its winning streak by drawing with Gimpo due to Lee Il-Chenko's missed penalty kick for two consecutive games.
Suwon drew 1-1 at home in the 13th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' held at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 25th. Suwon, which was taken 0-1 in the 41st minute of the first half by dedicating the first goal to Lewis, returned the game to square one with Seraphim's equalizer in the 12th minute of the second half. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Ilyuchenko's penalty was blocked by Gimpo goalkeeper Son Jung-hyun. During the penalty kick process, Gimpo's foul was found, and Ilyuchenko had a second penalty opportunity, but even this was missed. It is a performance compared to Mugosa, who led the team to a 2-0 victory over Jeonnam with two penalty kicks on the same day. Suwon, which has been undefeated in 10 consecutive games, defeated Jeonnam (25 points) with 25 points and recaptured the third place. However, as a result of the day, the point gap with the leader Incheon (34 points) widened by two more points from seven points to nine points. Kimpo, ranked 10th, who failed to keep the lead, had no win for two consecutive games.
Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan changed his position with the last round match against Busan, which won 4-1. Instead of midfielder Lee Min-hyuk, Lee Kyu-sung was put in. Seraphim, Lee Il-Chenko Park Seung-soo, three-top, and Kim Ji-hyun, Choi Young-jun, Lee Kyu-sung, three-middle faced Gimpo. Lee Kun-hee, Kwon Wan-gyu, Ko Jong-hyun, Lee Ki-je set up a four-back, and Yang Hyung-mo defended the goal. Bruno Silva postponed his return from injury for another week.
Gimpo, which lost 1-2 to E-Land in the previous round, changed four seats compared to the last game. Louis, Plana spearheaded the attack. Kim Ji-hoon, Kim Gyeol, Cheon Ji-hyun, Choi Jae-hoon, Yoon Jae-woon formed a midfield team, and Lee Chan-hyung, Kim Min-ho, and Park Kyung-rok formed a three-back team. Son Jung-hyun wore goalkeeper gloves. Key defender Chapman missed the day due to his exit from the last game.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Ilyuchenko's header headed in front of the opponent's goalkeeper without power. Kwon Wan-kyu's long-distance pass was blocked in the 22nd minute. In the process of stopping Gimpo's counterattack, Choi Young-joon was warned for a high tackle. In the 26th minute, Gimpo made the first big chance of the day. Kim Ji-hoon took the ball Lewis gave to the right side of the box and shot for Near Post. Yang Hyung-mo blew his body and defended it.
In the 41st minute of the first half, when Suwon was worried that it could not find an answer, Gimpo exploded the first goal. Kim Ji-hoon's cross hit Lewis' forehead at the gate and shook the net. Lewis scored his fifth goal of the season on the 50th and 7 games after the match against Bucheon on April 6. Coach Ko Jung-woon hinted before the game that Lewis' wife entered the country last week and was staying with him. The first half ended with Gimpo leading by one goal.
Coach Byun set up a winning move early at half-time. Park Seung-soo was taken out and Paulino was put in. In the third minute of the first half, Lee Kun-hee's shot slightly missed the post. In the 7th minute of the second half, Paulino volleyed a pass that Iulichenko gave to his chest with his back to the net in the penalty area, but he turned away from the goal. Suwon, which had been driving, scored a long-awaited equalizer in the 12th minute of the second half, bringing the game back to square one. In the corner kick situation, Seraphim threatened the goal with a header shot of Lee Ki-je's left-footed ball toward Near Post. The ball that left Seraphim's forehead hit Kimpo goalkeeper Son Jung-hyun's hand, but the VAR ruled that it crossed the goal line.

Suwon brought Choi Young-joon to the bench in the 15th minute of the second half and put in Lee Min-hyuk to inject new energy into the midfield. Gimpo made changes to the offense in the 18th minute of the second half by excluding Kim Gyeol Plana and putting in Cho Sung-joon and Ahn Chang-min duo.
Suwon had a golden opportunity to score a come-from-behind goal in the 21st minute of the second half. The referee judged through a VAR on-field review that Ilyuchenko was fouled in a corner kick situation. Son Jung-hyun defended the ball that Lee Il-Chenko, who played as a kicker, aimed at the bottom left of the goal. However, the referee declared Gimpo's foul in the penalty kick situation through communication with the VAR room and ordered Suwon's PK again. This time, Ilyuchenko aimed for the right corner, the other side of the first shot. However, the course was completely penetrated and blocked again.
Coach Byun put more weight on the offense in the 31st minute of the second half by putting Kim Ji-hyun on the bench and putting Kim Hyun in. Gimpo took out Lewis and Cheon Ji-hyun, and put in Designa and Bruno to play the game. Suwon also put Kim Ji-ho and Jeong Dong-yoon without Lee Il-chenko and Lee Ki-je. Paulino's curled shot in the 39th minute of the second half was far off the post. At the end of the game, Seraphim and Ahn Chang-min's shots were saved by the goalkeepers of both teams. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
