Dramatic victory in the opening 9 games of the season
Purple gust Daejeon, conquered Jeonbuk
Professional soccer K League 1 Gangwon FC scored its first dramatic victory in nine games of the opening season of the 2023 season by sacrificing coach Choi Yong-soo’s home team, FC Seoul. Daejeon Hana Citizen, who has been promoted from the K-League 2 this season and is causing a sensation, defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai, a traditional powerhouse.
Gangwon won 3-2 in the home game against Seoul in the 9th round of the K League 1 2023 held at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon on the 26th. This is Gangwon’s first win of the season, which failed to report a victory with 4 draws and 4 losses until the 8th round. As Gangwon won the victory, only Suwon Samsung (2 draws and 7 losses) remained as the team that ended in a draw until the 9th round.
Seoul had a high possession in the first half, but Gangwon scored the first goal. In the 24th minute of the first half, Gangwon’s Yang Hyeon-joon stripped off the opponent’s defense with a single touch under the half-line, ran 70m and penetrated into the penalty box, and gave a cutback to Park Sang-hyuk, who was in front of the goal, and Park calmly shook the net. It was the goal that broke Gangwon’s scoreless run in three consecutive games and the first goal on the professional stage for Park Sang-hyuk, who debuted in 2021.
At the beginning of the second half, Gangwon scored an additional goal without missing Seoul goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom’s misguided play. 20 seconds into the second half, Jung Seung-yong’s mid-range grounder shot passed Baek Jong-beom’s side and led to a goal.
In the 7th minute of the second half, Seoul scored a comeback goal from a corner kick by Im Sang-hyeop, and in the 23rd minute of the second half, Im Sang-hyeop scored an equalizer from a corner kick.
The match, which seemed likely to end in a draw, ended dramatically with Gangwon’s theatrical goal in extra time in the second half. Gangwon Gallego’s shot after breaking through hit the defender and went high, causing a chaotic situation in front of the Seoul gate.
In the away game held in Jeonju, Daejeon won 2-1 against Jeonbuk, with consecutive goals from Anton in the 5th minute and Lee Jin-hyun in the 18th minute, with Jeong Tae-wook making up for one goal in the 40th minute. In the Gwangju match, Jeju United defeated Gwangju FC 1-0, which coach Nam Ki-il promoted from the second division to the first division in the past. Suwon FC and Daegu FC drew 1-1.
