The desperate prayer led to a theater goal. Fans shed tears that they held back at the score that saved hope. The season of Daegu FC is not over yet.

Daegu FC beat Gwangju FC 1-0 with Kim Hyun-joon's winning goal in the home game of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 8th. With this victory, Daegu (32 points) continued its hope of staying. At the same time, Jeju SK, ranked 11th, bowed its head, losing 1-2 to FC Anyang. Now the difference between the two teams is only three points. Coincidentally, the two teams will clash head-on at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. Depending on the result of this game, there may be a relegation team '1' this season or the ranking may change. If Jeju wins on this day, Daegu will be at the bottom regardless of the remaining final match results. On the contrary, if Daegu wins, it goes up one notch to 11th place. This is because Daegu (44 goals) has more goals than Jeju (38 goals). In this case, the fate of the two teams continues until the final match.

I was desperate. Daegu had only six wins, 11 draws and 18 losses. I was struggling at the bottom. At this rate, he is likely to be demoted to the K League 2 (second division) next season. The last place in this season's K League 1 will be automatically demoted to K League 2 next season. The 11th place in the K League 1 will decide its fate through the promotion and playoff (PO) with the second place team in the K League 2.




In a moment of crisis, even Cesinha was injured and left. He was completely excluded from the game due to a back injury. On top of that, even Kaio 'defensive key' watched the game from a separate seat as he was dismissed from the previous game.

The game didn't work out easily. Daegu attempted 12 shots on the day and aimed for a goal. Gwangju's goal didn't open. Only time went by without end. I was nervous. Cesinha, who was watching the game, was even seen putting his hands together and praying. Daegu, which was being tapped, finally opened its doors. Kim Hyun-joon's goal came out in the second half of the extra time set-piece situation. While three Gwangju defenders blocked Edgar, Kim Hyun-joon opened the scoring. At that moment, Cesinha and Kaio stood up and cheered. Daegu fans shed tears of joy.

After the game, Daegu coach Kim Byung-soo said through the club, `I would like to thank our fans for their enthusiastic support without any change. It was a great goal. I was out of my mind. I felt a great deal of joy. I think it was a fantastic goal for our team"I think it will be the best situation for us if Cesinha returns. You should refrain from getting excited. You have to stay calm." 'Veteran fighting spirit' Edgar also played with the mindset that he had to win unconditionally. I think I left a spark of hope for staying until the end. "The upcoming match against Jeju is likely to be the final. If the injured player returns, I think he can bring good results."
