There's no restriction even though he raises his two feet and tackles. There is not even VAR. Even the offside scene that I believed is suspected of misjudgment.

The level of K League 2 judgment is Gae-gwan. Complaints on the ground are at their peak. Seoul E-Land cried again at the dubious decision in the 24th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' against Hwaseong FC at Mokdong Stadium on the 10th. For E-Land, who changed the atmosphere with one win and one draw against Suwon Samsung-Incheon United after not winning eight games, the match against Hwaseong was a great opportunity to properly win the atmosphere. E-Land dominated Hwaseong from time to time, but ended up with a disappointing draw due to the absence of finishing.

I had a chance to get into the early atmosphere. In the 11th minute of the first half, E-Land midfielder Park Chang-hwan slid with Choi Jun-hyuk and competed for the ball. In the process, Cho Dong-jae raised his foot high and tried to tackle, and Park Chang-hwan was beaten and collapsed. Although it was a process of heading to the ball, it was a dangerous scene. Fortunately, Park Chang-hwan got up after shaking it off, but a big injury could also come out. But the referee's whistle didn't go off. Surprisingly, there was no call from VAR. The soccer community expressed surprise at the decision, saying, `Isn't it a natural exit?' E-Land, who had already cried several times due to misjudgment, including the Euhler penalty kick misjudgment against Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, is hitting his chest again with this decision.




This is not the only controversy over the 24th round. In the match between Suwon Samsung and Ansan Greeners held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 9th, VARPA (video reading on-site broadcasting) was released twice, and Ilyuchenko was sent off. However, in the 40th minute of the first half, Jo Ji-hoon's tackle headed to Kim Ji-hyun's ankle, but the referee did not take out the card. Suwon fans were very angry when they saw it, as Jo Ji-hoon already had one card.

Controversy continued in the Jeonnam Dragons-Cheonan City match held at Gwangyang Football Stadium on the 10th. The match ended with Cheonan's 4-3 victory after a great match. However, in the 19th minute of the first half, a controversial decision came out. After Jeonnam's Kim Yong-hwan gave up the pass to Jung Kang-min, he got the pass again and crossed to the other side. Min Joon-young connected this with a non-stop shot from the left side of the penalty box. This led to a score as it was. It was a wonder goal that was comparable to this year's goal. However, after VAR communication, the referee canceled the score, calling it Jung Kang-min's offside.

However, controversy continued as Jung Kang-min's position on the broadcast screen appeared to be onside. There were even several reports. Of course, it is difficult to judge the offside only by the screen, but the fact that suspicions continue despite VAR shows how much distrust the decision is.




There are no K-League 1 and 2 in the judgment complaint. However, K League 2 is in a particularly big situation. Moon Jin-hee, chairman of the Korea Football Association (KFA), recently appeared on a YouTube broadcast and said, `About 10 referees in K League 2 came in to make future international referees,' adding, `They are young and inexperienced.' As I have little experience, I have a lot of misgivings because I can't get out of psychological pressure." "I'm sorry for the coaches and fans of each club, but the referee should grow step by step," he said. As Chairman Moon effectively nails K League 2 as a stage for training professional referees, distrust in the field seems to have increased. The ruling this time added fuel to the complaint.
