The match ended in a draw, but the atmosphere was mixed as if it had been a thrilling victory and a complete defeat.

This was the case after the 17th round of the K League 2 match between Busan I'Park and Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju held in Busan on the 22nd.

Busan missed all the fish caught on this day, and Chungbuk caught a big fish. Around one minute of extra time in the second half, when Busan was leading 2-1, Busan GK Ku Sang-min ran near the side line and cleared it long, which connected Pedro who was on the half line. Pedro went straight for the empty goal, and the ball was drawn into the goal with a parabola.




Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju, which has been holding out under acting coach Choi Sang-hyun since Kwon Oh-kyu resigned midway on the 10th, desperately needed to hunt for points with two draws and five losses, including three consecutive losses.

On the other hand, Busan failed to win consecutive games, losing the opportunity to leap to the top. On this day, Jeonnam drew 0-0 with Gimpo, so it was an opportunity to leap to third place.

In a post-match interview, Choi said "It's been a long time since I've been thinking a lot about it for the past two weeks. I have tried many changes in tactics and training in the past week. It must have been so hard, but I was touched that the players overcame it and did their best until the end"It will be an opportunity to go up further through this game today."




In particular, Choi said of the draw on the day, `It was important to end the losing streak, and I think the performance came out as prepared"For the first time in seven games, he received applause from supporters. I feel so good."

Busan coach Cho Sung-hwan, who then appeared in the interview room, was full of depth.

He added "It's more than a draw and a loss. I'm sure the fans won't feel so happyMany people prepare for one game. I think the players need to be responsible and feel something"I'm sorry to the fans.
