The joys and sorrows of the two teams who had to chase the lead were mixed.
Jeonnam Dragons won the 14th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' against Hwaseong FC 3-2 at Gwangyang Football Stadium on the 31st. With this victory, Jeonnam (28 points) narrowed the gap to six points with Incheon (34 points), the leader who played one less game. He also washed away the pain of defeat, which collapsed 0-2 to Incheon in the previous game.
Jeonnam's first goal was scored from the start. In the fifth minute of the first half, Valdivia shook the Martian net when Honan pushed a cross from the left side of the box into a diving header. However, the lead did not last long. In the 10th minute of the first half, Luan finished Lim Chang-seok's cross with a volley from the center of the box to balance the game. Jeonnam widened the gap again in the middle of the first half. Valdivia took the lead. In the 35th minute of the first half, Valdivia attempted a low and fast right-footed mid-range shot in front of the penalty box arc. The ball that left Valdivia's feet went through the defense and was stuck in the corner of the goal.
Jeonnam, which finished with a 2-1 lead in the first half, allowed another equalizer in the second half. In the 25th minute of the second half, Cho Dong-jae finished the ball that bounced far away from the penalty box with a shot. It was a very long distance, but the ball headed straight into the Jeonnam goal and brought the game to square one.
The players who saved Jeonnam from the crisis were Alberti and Kim Do-yoon. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Alberti's mid-range shot from the left side of the box arc was deflected off the body of Kim Do-yoon, who was standing right in front of him. Kim Seung-gun, who predicted the shooting direction and moved his body, had to watch the ball heading into the goal as it took a dynamic game. Jeollanam-do, which secured a one-goal gap, solidified its second place by taking three points.
On the other hand, Seoul E-Land failed to add points, once again being held back by '3 consecutive jinx'. They lost the match against Busan I'Park at Mokdong Sports Complex 1-4. E-Land beat Gimpo (2-1 wins) and Hwaseong (1-0 wins) in the previous two games, taking its third consecutive opportunity of the season, but lost and failed to add points. In Busan, Baek Gaon's performance was outstanding. Baek Ga-on, who was born in 2006, helped Villero in the 20th minute of the second half and Pesin in the 26th minute of the second half following the opening goal in the 44th minute of the first half, and he scored a net goal in the 31st minute of the second half, showing a powerful performance with two goals and two assists. E-Land had E-Dale's comeback in the 30th minute of the second half, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
Gyeongnam came from behind to win 2-1 in the match between Chungbuk Cheongju and Gyeongnam FC at Cheongju Stadium. Gyeongnam was dragged away by Gabriel in the 39th minute of the first half, but Park Min-seo in the 19th minute of the second half and Caryl in the 29th minute of the second half turned the game around. With a 2-1 victory, South Gyeongsang Province moved up its ranking to eighth.
