Gangwon won a 3-0 victory over Daegu FC in the 20th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 21st. Gangwon, which had one draw and three losses in the last four games, won three points in just five games and won with a cool victory.
It was Gangwon's best game of the season. He has scored three goals, the most since the opening of this season. If the finish was good, more goals could have been scored. He produced several cool, sharp scenes throughout the game.
It was the effect of being discharged from the military + new students. Kim Dae-won and Seo Min-woo, who have just been discharged from the military on this day, were listed on the starting list. Players recruited from the summer transfer market, including Mo Jae-hyun and Kim Gun-hee, also played. They performed as well as expected.
In the 44th minute of the first half, the entire student and the freshman combined for the winning goal. Mo Jae-hyun finished Kim Dae-won's sharp free kick with a header. It was Mo Jae-hyun's debut goal in Gangwon-do with the help of Kim Dae-won's return report. In the 28th minute of the second half, the freshmen scored an additional goal. Kim Gun-hee shook the Daegu net with a diving header from Mo Jae-hyun's cross from the right. It was Kim Gun-hee's first goal since moving to Gangwon. Gangwon, which gained momentum, finished the complete victory in the 32nd minute of the second half with Lee Sang-heon scoring a net goal.

However, with Yang Min-hyuk's trip to Tottenham and Hwang Moon-ki's enlistment in the military, which was the main player of the offensive soccer, Gangwon Province faced a transitional period this season. Coach Jung Kyung-ho, who was the hidden player who completed Gangwon's offensive football last season, tried to maintain his existing color after being promoted from coach. However, it was not easy with low power. Coach Chung turned to pressure and focused on holding out. Rather than pushing aggressive soccer, the focus was on building points somehow and maintaining a gap with the top ranks.
Chung's decision was made in the summer. I thought it would be different if Kim Dae-won and Seo Min-woo were discharged from the military and new strikers were recruited. To this end, training consistently honed aggressive build-ups and patterns. He slowed down after losing three consecutive games, but he did not lose faith in the plan he prepared.
Gangwon, which showed its potential by drawing 1-1 with FC Seoul in the 19th round with Mo Jae-hyun and Kim Gun-hee, finally exploded its firepower in the match against Daegu, which became a full body. With the addition of players who certainly own the ball and can advance, the team's offensive quality itself has changed. The newly renovated Gangneung High1 Arena was also excited. Director Chung said, `Here we go again. "I will show my color with a clear attacking football..." he said with confidence.
