E-Land and Seongnam will hold a semi-playoff (PO) of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' at Mokdong Stadium in Seoul at 7 p.m. on the 27th. E-Land ranked fourth and Seongnam fifth in the regular league. E-Land rose to fourth place with a 6-0 victory in the final match against Ansan. Seongnam beat Busan 2-1 and pushed the Jeonnam Dragons, who lost to Chungnam Asan 1-2 in the final match, to sixth place to take fifth place.
E-Land wants to make up for its frustrating memories of being third in the promotion PO last year. Seongnam, which was at the bottom of the K League 2 in the 2024 season, is dreaming of returning to the K League 1 for the first time in four years after relegation in the 2022 season. The winning team will host a PO with Bucheon at Bucheon Stadium on the 30th.
E-Land is in fourth place, so it has the advantage of playing at home and going to the playoffs in the event of a draw. Of the 11 semi-PO games including last year, only Gwangju FC in 2014 and Gyeongnam FC in 2022 were the lowest-ranked teams heading to PO. But Seongnam also has something to believe in. Seongnam's away performance this season is 9 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, ranking fourth in the league. He showed a similar level of performance to home. The momentum is consistent with both teams. Eland finished the season unbeaten in 10 consecutive games (6 wins and 4 draws). The standard for the last six games is better. He boasted a good flow with five wins and one draw. Seongnam is on a winning streak. After the match against Incheon (2-2 draw), he won five consecutive games until the final match. The flow is neck and neck. In this year's showdown between the two teams, E-Land dominated with 2-1 wins and 1 loss.
It's a clash of spears and shields. The two teams have opposite strengths. E-Land showed off its hot attack by scoring the most goals since its foundation this season. He bombed 64 goals in 39 games. It is the third-best record after Suwon Samsung (76 goals) and Incheon (66 goals). 'Ace'Eule's toes are fierce, and Byun Kyung-joon's scoring ability, who boasted a sharp tip at the end of the season, is also outstanding. The unstable defense also found stability through a three-back conversion at the end of the season. Seongnam's strong defense is the best weapon. His record of second place in runs (32 runs) after Incheon (30 runs) shows his solidity. Starting with forward pressure, he overpowers the opponent's offense with an organized defense that extends from the midfield to the defense line. Seongnam's goal-scoring ability is a reliable corner of the team, which ranked second (17 goals) in the K League 2.
Before the game, E-Land and Seongnam's best 11 were revealed. Eland pulled out a 3-4-3 card. Euhler-Eidale-Lee Joo-hyuk made a three-top. Oh In-pyo and Kim Joo-hwan stood on the left and right, while Seo Jae-min and Park Chang-hwan sat in the center. Kim Ha-joon, Osmar, and Kim Oh-kyu made up the three-back. Koo Sung-yoon defended the goal.
Seongnam went up 4-4-2. Whoise and Park Byung-kyu made two-top. Kim Jung-hwan, Freitas, Park Soo-bin and Lee Jung-bin formed the waistline. Jung Seung-yong, Benicio, Lee Sang-min, and Shin Jae-won set up a four-back. Yang Han-bin wore goalkeeper gloves.
Coach Kim, who met before the game, said, `I didn't see the result good because I was tied. We set our sights on winning, and we intend to score in the first half. "We definitely settled down in the second half. I have confidence without losing.' "We need to go out strategically, but we plan to pressure from the front and go on offense again as usual," he said.
Jeon said, `We didn't have much time to prepare, so we modified a little bit to what we were doing. He changed the game itself like a tournament"As a result, we have to win unconditionally, so we have prepared a way to do it more efficiently." Jeon experienced semi-PO when he led the Jeonnam Dragons four years ago. "At that time, we were in the FA Cup at the same time, so we gave the FA Cup a boost. The situation is different now."The game can be won or lost. In the end, I think the results can vary depending on how much we show what we have prepared and whether we are united as one. "
As for Samuel's absence "I caught the flu. He thought about playing until the end, and he also wanted to play. But on the premise of winning today, I decided that it would be better to save for the next game."
