In the previous game, Gimcheon won 6-2 against Seoul. Suwon won 5-1 against Ulsan. Gimcheon, who has been undefeated in the last five games (3 wins and 2 draws), ranked second in the league, scored 13 goals in the last five games, swept 5 wins and 1 loss and 15 points in the last six games, and Suwon, which came in ninth, clashed with the best teams in the league. Head coach Kim built a thick midfield with Kim Kyung-min, Han Chan-hee, Luan, Lee Jae-won and Andrigo under the one-top attack, which has scored 12 goals in the last four consecutive games.
In the second minute of the first half, Han Chan-hee's right-footed mid-range shot went high. Suwon goalkeeper Hwang Jae-yoon received Gimcheon's attack and Lee Dong-kyung's shot. Suwon's first goal came in the 9th minute of the first half. Suwon one-top striker Kim Kang-san was fighting for an aerial ball with Gimcheon center back Kim Kang-san, and Luan's stinging left-footed mid-range shot hit the net shortly after the free-kick situation. Suwon strikers' confidence in scoring their fourth goal of the season remained on the same day. Suwon FC led 1-0.
Gimcheon's offensive, which gave up the first goal, intensified. Lee Dong-kyung, who joined coach Kim Eun-joong and the under-23 national team, and Lee Seung-won, the favorite player, during the semifinals of the under-20 World Cup, stood out. Suwon's defense line blocked Lee Dong-kyung's shooting timing with a collaborative defense. In the 18th minute of the first half, Hwang Jae-yoon threw himself to block Lee Dong-kyung's sharp left-footed shot aimed at the corner. It was a super save. In the 19th minute of the first half, Maeng Sung-woong's glaring shot from the right side of the box missed a series of chances from Gimcheon's corner kick opportunities. Suwon's counterattack in the 23rd minute of the first half, Kim Kyung-min gave up a pass to Han Chan-hee after a stormy run. Han Chan-hee's shot slightly missed the post. Park Sang-hyuk's non-stop shot, which took over Lee Dong-kyung's kill pass in the box in the 26th minute of the first half, shook the net. VAR offside checks allowed the equalizer. Park Sang-hyuk's ninth goal of the season and the 1-1 match were brought to square one. Kimcheon dominated the game with Sergeant Lee Dong-kyung, who became a soccer warrior, aiming for a chance at the front line of Suwon Sabak, who has scored four consecutive goals and 12 goals. In the extra time of the second half, Gimcheon's free kick, Lee Dong-kyung, and Lee Seung-won were delivered to Kim Seung-seop, and Kim Seung-seop's right foot shot deflected off Choi Kyu-baek and cut the net. It was a come-from-behind goal. Suwon finished the first half with a 1-2 turnaround. Gimcheon recorded nine shots, six effective shots, and Suwon recorded six shots and two effective shots.
▶Second half
At the beginning of the second half, Suwon coach Kim Eun-joong put in Ahn Hyun-beom and Lee Si-young without Kim Kyung-min and Seo Jae-min. Kim Jeong-yong, manager of Gimcheon, put in Park Dae-won without Choi Ye-hoon. Gimcheon closely marked Suwon striker Sabak, who has scored seven goals and one assist in the last five games. The shot failed in the fourth minute of the second half after passing a backhill pass to Andrigo. Sabak's shot missed in the fifth minute of the second half. In the 11th minute of the second half, Suwon put game changer Willian in. As soon as Willian, who has scored six goals and two assists in the last six consecutive games, entered the game, Suwon's offense became lively. Willian's header, following Lee Si-young's cross, slightly missed the post. In the 12th minute of the second half, Gimcheon put in Lee Jung-taek instead of Oh In-pyo. With Suwon operating foreign strikers at full capacity, Kim Dong-kyung, Kim Seung-seop and Lee Seung-won confronted Gimcheon strongly.
But in Suwon, there was a final weapon, Willian. Willian, who took over Lee Si-young's cross in the 18th minute of the second half, controlled the ball with his left foot after chest trapping and lightly shook the net with his right foot. Coach Kim Eun-joong of the bench roared with two fists clenched. Following multiple goals against Ulsan, he continued his offensive point streak for seven consecutive games after scoring two consecutive goals, his seventh goal of the season, and wearing Suwon FC uniform in the summer transfer market. Gimcheon, who gave up the equalizer, raised the level of attack in the 20th minute of the second half by removing Won Ki-jong and Maeng Sung-woong and adding Lee Dong-joon and Kim Yi-seok. He made it clear that he would have three points on his home turf.
In the 31st minute of the second half, a fatal scene came out to Suwon FC. In Gimcheon's corner kick scene, Lee Dong-kyung was hit by Andrigo's left arm shortly after he missed a goal chance, and the referee declared a handball foul after a VAR on-field review. The Suwon bench received a yellow card after a fierce protest, and Lee Dong-kyung stood in front of the box. Hwang Jae-yoon blocked Lee Dong-kyung's low left footed shot. It was a super save. Suwon players cheered enthusiastically.
Kim Seung-seop of Gimcheon shook the net in the 35th minute of the second half in a corner kick situation shortly after Noh Kyung-ho was put in instead of Andrigo in the 34th minute of the second half, but offside was declared. The game got hotter. It wasn't over until the end of the workshop.
In the 46th minute of the second half, Kimcheon goalkeeper Lee Joo-hyun hit Luan's left footed shot. Kim Cheon's counterattack and Lee Dong-kyung, who missed PK, took over Kim Seung-seop's pass and ran. Seeing Suwon goalkeeper Hwang Jae-yoon came out, he shot his mind toward the empty goal. It was an atonement. It turned the game around again, 3 to 2. Suwon's Ahn Hyun-beom failed to take advantage of the last goal opportunity, and Suwon suffered a disappointing defeat. Gimcheon finished second in the league with six undefeated matches and 46 points..
