Until the middle of the first half, Seoul was blocked by Buriram's dense defense and failed to show any significant performance amid lackluster performance. However, in the 38th minute of the first half, Choi Joon penetrated Lucas' cross into the back space of the defense and finished it amazingly, and Jung Seung-won's cross led to a lucky score in the extra time of the first half. With Moon Seon-min, who was put in at the beginning of the second half, actively participating in the defense, Seoul took the lead by speeding up the pass, and eventually took a comfortable victory in the 22nd minute of the second half when Lucas scored a net goal.
Coach Kim said in a press conference after the game that `Buriram was the team that reached the quarterfinals of the ACLE last season, and has been a tricky team for Korean teams. I'm happy to give my home fans a win." Then "Actually, I didn't like the content of the first half. There was a side of luck. I think I showed better performance in the second half"I hope today's victory will continue the good trend in the league as well." Also "The league is important, but we can't give up ACLE." be making two choices because ofIt seems that the motivation and competition for the players are achieved through the league and ACLE rotation. I can see you trying to do better. It seems to serve as a positive energy for the team,' he said recently.

There have been a lot of runs, but it seems to be finding stability recently. I want to make it meaningful that I was undefeated without losing a point"It is also positive that several players can rest and prepare for the next game."
Regarding the performance of defender Jung Tae-wook, who started for the first time in a long time, "If you don't play for about a year, all players will lose their performance." Jung Tae-wook has not played many games in Jeonbuk and Australia. It will be difficult to fill that time at once," he said, but he continues to improve. In the first half of today, the pass selection was not good, but in the second half, the pace seems to have stabilized with the help of colleagues as the body warmed up and became psychologically stable. Since he was a former Olympic representative, he will be able to continue growing."
Coach Kim, who has experience as runner-up in the Asian Champions League when he was the head coach of Pohang, played the final four years ago and left the (Port) team two years ago after five wins and one draw in the group stage. ACLE seems to have another fun. There is a lot to learn when we face a team that uses tactics that we have not encountered. I think I'm growing as I play the competition. It seems like the same goes for our players. A contest that gives me a special experience..." he vowed to do well in the future.
