Anyang and Seoul drew 1-1 in the 12th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Anyang Sports Complex on the 6th. The two teams, which shared one point, ranked seventh with Anyang (16 points) and ninth with Seoul (14 points).
Unlike the hot pre-game atmosphere, the search continued in the first half. Anyang kept its defense strong, prevented Seoul's offensive, and sought an opportunity with a counterattack. Seoul maintained a high line and led the attack near Anyang Box. However, the flow of '0' ended unbroken in the first half.
The game was heated with the first goal at the beginning of the second half. Anyang took the lead. In the 6th minute of the second half, Thomas saw Matheus slipping into the back space of the defense and delivered an accurate penetration pass. Matheus, who caught the ball, quickly entered the box and attempted a left-footed shot. The ball broke through Kang Hyun-moo and shook the Seoul net. Seoul also fought back. Set piece concentration stood out. In the 36th minute of the second half, Moon Sun-min pushed Lingard's kick into the correct header to balance the game again. Since then, the two teams have maintained their offensive to determine the outcome, but no additional points have been scored.
After the game, coach Kim Ki-dong said, `I wanted to win"It's a pity that I worked hard but the results didn't come out. I never thought the direction was wrong. It was difficult in the beginning, but it turned out at the last minute. The game is going well. I have confidence in the players and am confident of going high. I didn't win, but I did a good job," he said.
Seoul continued its frustrating trend in scoring in the game. Manager Kim said, `The attack work went well. However, it is regrettable that he lost a point 10 minutes before the second half. Overall, it went well." Then "The players seem to be burdened. We need to find a way to put down the burden of our hearts and run comfortably," he added.
As for Cho Young-wook, who is showing a disappointing performance in the offense, he also talked with Young-wook "Don't worry, he said he will be okay if his grades improve." It's something that needs to be dealt with. If you are a player, you must have the power to overcome the pressure. If you can do that, you will develop and grow."
Regarding the overheated game after scoring in the second half, "We tried not to lose against each other in the one-on-one competition." The next problem is the distraction of the game. I think it'll be fun if this kind of atmosphere increases" he evaluated.
