There is pride in K League 2, which is only aimed at promotion. Cheonan City FC's key word was the last one. Even with the draw, he could be at the bottom in 126 days since April 13.
Busan I'Park is aiming to be promoted to the first division in five years since 2020. However, he is suffering from abnormal low temperatures. He has been sluggish with one win, one draw and four losses in the last six games. Among them, he suffered a scoreless streak in five games. It is unusual for a team with Pesin, who is in his third season in Busan. The ranking also fell to seventh place, breaking away from the last line of the semi-playoff, '5 strongest'. However, it was not far away. A victory would have allowed them to retake fifth place.
It was clear why both teams had to take three points. It was a bloody battle between Cheonan and Busan. Cheonan manager Kim Tae-wan said, `We haven't won much at home this season. It wasn't easy, such as injuries, but we still have to win. I have a will and I can look forward to it. "But foreign players in Busan are so good. I don't know what will happen. The variable is physical strength.
Busan coach Cho Sung-hwan also hit Bae Soo-jin. He "There's nowhere else to back off. In the end, you have to score at the three-top. There is a psychological contraction, and he is ordering aggressive play. If you can't build points against the lower teams, you can't go up high. I prepared it so hard"He fired up his fighting spirit. Busan operated a triangular formation of foreigners leading to Bilero, Gonzalo, and Pesin at full capacity.

In the end, Busan was more desperate. Busan won 1-0 in the 25th round of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' held at Cheonan Stadium on the 17th. The pendulum of the game tilted early. The net fluctuated in the 6th minute of the first half. Pesin scored a low, fast cross after breaking down the right side. Jeon Sung-jin flooded in and changed the direction of the ball with his left foot and split the goal net.
Cheonan's left-footed volley shot by Lee Jung-hyup in the 14th minute of the first half was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. Coach Kim took out three chapters at the start of the second half. Kim Sung-joon, who scored two goals and one assist in the match against the Jeonnam Dragons (4-3 wins) in the last round, was put in. Cho activated Busan's future Baekgaon. A battle of one step and one step followed. However, there was no cool attack. Cheonan pulled out Bruno's card in the 28th minute of the second half. Even in the 11th minute of extra time, he failed to open the goal.
Busan also failed to score an additional goal, but there was no problem with the victory. Busan scored 37 points, pushing Seoul E-Land and Gimpo FC (36 points), which were ranked mixed in multiple points, to sixth to seventh place. It laid the foundation for a reversal. On the other hand, Cheonan, with 19 points, is set to follow.
