Gwangju tied Ulsan 1-1 in the 16th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at 7:30 p.m. on the 28th at Gwangju World Cup Stadium.
Gwangju, which led with Byun Jun-su's first goal made with a promised set-piece play in the 30th minute of the first half, allowed Eric, who was replaced, to equalize in the 2nd minute of the second half, drawing 1-1.
Gwangju, which had no wins (1 draw and 1 loss) in two consecutive games, added one point to stay in sixth place with 23 points.
It was a disappointing draw for Gwangju. He was outscored 20-7 in shooting numbers. However, Park Tae-joon and Gabriel's shot hit the post, and Asani's score was canceled by an offside foul in the extra time of the second half.
Manager Lee said, `There were many chances, but unfortunately, I only scored one goal. Still, creating a lot of chances creates expectations that you can score a lot of goals. I enjoyed watching it outside, too. I feel like I played a Gwangju-like game for the first time in a long time. I think our players are working hard because there are home fans."
Then "Our team and referee Park Byung-jin (propensity) don't seem to fit well.(Laughs) Our players get hurt in the game that referee Park is in charge of. I hope you don't get hurt next time," he said with a smile.
Key defender Byun Jun-su was carried out with a tear above his eyes at the end of the second half. Manager Lee said "Cho Sung-kwon, who received a warning today, will not be able to play in the next game with five warnings. After today's game, Park Tae-joon decided to give him a vacation before joining the military. Byun Jun-su had a tear on his eye. I lost three people in a day alone."
"I think it's an opportunity because the players who have prepared well for the next game will have a chance."
After scoring the first goal, Lee approached coach Ma Chul-joon and made a fierce congratulatory gesture. "Coach Ma prepared the set piece well. It was good that the same goal came out as we practiced yesterday. He said, "I think I did a fierce ceremony in celebration of my birthday."
