Undaunted Wi Jae-eun '1 Goal 2 Help'Hwacheon KSPO beat Seoul City Hall to gain an advantage in the unified championship.

Hwacheon KSPO won 3-2 in the first match of the 2025 WK League Championship against Seoul City Hall at 2 p.m. on the 8th at Seoul World Cup Auxiliary Stadium.

The Hwacheon KSPO, led by coach Kang Sun-mi, is the top-ranked women's soccer team in this season. Choi Yoo-jung, Moon Eun-joo, Lee Soo-bin and Choi Jung-min are the league winners with 19 undefeated regular league games, and they achieved three gold medals at the National Women's Football Championship and National Sports Festival. Hwacheon, which missed the unified championship after winning the regular league last year, was desperate to win the first game against Seoul City Hall. Seoul City Hall, led by legendary coach Yoo Young-sil, was second in the regular league, lost 3 draws and 1 loss against Hwacheon this season, and lost 0-2 most recently in September, but played a tight game every game. Seoul City Hall made history of advancing to the championship match in 12 years after drawing 0-0 in the playoff against Incheon Hyundai Steel on the 1st. Even if either team wins the championship, Sangambeol was hot even before the game.

▶ Overall

Seoul City Hall was selected by Woo Seo-bin (GK), Kim Mi-yeon, Kim Young-eun, Kim Min-ji, Shin Bo-mi, Chung Hyun-kyung, Jang Yoon-seo, Minyoung Jung, Han Chae-rin, Kang Tae-kyung, Seo Hyun-min, and Hwacheon KSPO was selected by Kim Min-young (GK), Jung Ji-yeon, Lee Min-hwa, Maeng Da-hee, Kim Yuri, Asna, Wi Jae-eun, Choi Jung-min, Lee Soo-bin, Choi Yoo-jung and Moon Eun-joo.

"Seoul City Hall!" "Hwacheon, way to go!" Amid the heated cheering match between the supporters of both teams, the home team Seoul City Hall from the beginning of the first half was strong on the home turf. Immediately after the free kick chance in the 5th minute of the first half, the fierce attack failed. Later, Hwacheon's counterattack began. In the 8th minute of the first half, Wi Jae-eun's confident cross from the left side of the box slightly crossed the post. It was a harbinger of a goal. In the 10th minute of the first half, Wi Jae-eun's confident mid-range shot penetrated the net from the left side of the box. Hwacheon led 1-0. In the 14th minute of the first half, Wi Jae-eun's smart kill pass and Choi Yoo-jung, who took over the ball spilled by Jung Ji-yeon from the side, shook the net with her left foot. Choi Yoo-jung, who scored 12 goals, 13 assists, and the most offensive points in the league, could not miss the chance of 'one shot one kill'. Hwacheon KSPO led 2-0 in an instant.




The trend of the Hwacheon KSPO continued. Asna's header, following Choi Yoo-jung's sharp free kick in the 21st minute of the first half, slightly missed the post. In the 27th minute of the first half, Moon Eun-joo's cannonball shot was high. In the 28th minute of the first half, Wi Jae-eun and Lee Soo-bin flooded the second ball that bounced off after Seoul City Hall goalkeeper Woo Seo-bin blocked Choi Jung-min's shot that rushed to the gate. Woo Seo-bin managed to overcome the crisis by blocking three shots in a row.

For Seoul City Hall, it was painful not to stop Wi Jae-eun, who constantly drilled the left side of the first half. In the 29th minute of the first half, Wi Jae-eun's right foot shot slightly missed the post. In the 37th minute of the first half, Hwacheon led 3-0 as Wi Jae-eun kicked a pass pushed by Lee Soo-bin from the left side of the box with her left foot. Wie Jae-eun, a former Korea University player who overcame a cruciate ligament injury and spread his wings as the league's best striker at the age of 29, shone throughout the first half.

As the gap widened by three goals, coach Yoo Young-sil pulled out an early replacement card. In the 38th minute of the first half, veterans Kang Yoo-mi and Cho Ye-som were put in to make changes without Seo Hyun-min and Kim Young-eun. At the end of the first half, Seoul City Hall missed the opportunity to make a decisive comeback. Hwacheon goalkeeper Kim Min-young hit Kim Min-ji's sharp shot with his fingertips in the 43rd minute of the first half. Super save. Cho Ye-som's corner kick and Kim Min-ji's powerful header were hit again by Kim Min-young. I'm over the edge of losing a point. Hwacheon finished the first half with a 3-0 lead.

▶Second half

With the start of the second half, Seoul City Hall tried to change its offense. Except for Han Chaerin, Park Hee-young was put in the left foot veteran born in 1991. It was a stroke of God. There was no intention of stepping away from the main room. In the 16th minute of the second half, Shin Bo-mi flew up to Park Hee-young's delivery cross. He scored a comeback with a high header. In the 19th minute of the second half, three minutes later, Kim Mi-yeon's header, following Park Hee-young's left-footed cross, broke the net again. Park Hee-young's two assists and two set-pieces caught up with 3-2 in an instant. Coach Yoo Young-sil smiled as he shared a high-five with the coaching staff. With the momentum of Seoul City Hall revived, the ground heated up once again. In the 26th minute of the second half, Kim Min-ji's shot fell into the arms of Hwacheon goalkeeper Kim Min-young. In the 38th minute of the second half, Hwacheon made clear its will to score an additional goal by putting in Cheon Ga-ram instead of Choi Jeong-min who played a lot. The bench resource battle between the two female coaches of the two teams continued until the last minute. Seoul City Hall deployed Kim Eun-sol instead of Chung Hyun-kyung in the 40th minute of the second half, and Hwacheon added Jang Yoo-bin instead of Asna in the 41st minute of the second half to increase the offensive. Four minutes into extra time, Hwacheon's net goal and Seoul City Hall's equalizer did not break out. Hwacheon won three to two.

The WK League champions are determined by the combined score of the first and second games. The second round of the championship, which will determine whether Hwacheon KSPO will win the championship and Seoul City Hall's first championship, will be held at Hwacheon Biological Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 15th.
