Gyeongnam FC defeated Daejeon Hana Citizen 2-1.
On this day, Kyung-Min Ko scored the winning goal at the same time as achieving the 100th attack point in his career.
Gyeongnam won 2-1 in the 33rd round of ‘Hana One Q K League 2 2022’ against Daejeon at Changwon Soccer Center on the 17th.
On this day too, coach Seol Ki-hyeon operated an aggressive 4-3-3 formation. With Thiago as the center, Eliardo and Castro attacked. In the midfield, Lee Kwang-jin, Mo Jae-hyeon, and Kim Se-yoon, along with Lee Jun-jae, Kim Myeong-jun, Kim Young-chan, and Park Jae-hwan played the defense. Son Jeong-hyeon kept the goal.
Gyeongnam struggled from the beginning. As Daejeon pushed in from the front, the overall atmosphere was chaotic. Passes were often cut off, and there was no clue to the attack. In the end, as they were defeated by Daejeon in the midfield, Gyeongnam conceded the opening goal. In the 4th minute of the first half, just before the game started, Daejeon Leandro gave up the opening goal. Even after that, Gyeongnam struggled all the time as organic play could not survive. In the defensive situation, it unfolded in a 5-3-2 format and showed a numerical inferiority in the midfield fight. This led to a situation where it was difficult to seize an attack opportunity. The flank attack, which is Gyeongnam’s main specialty, was almost blocked. So the first half ended 0-1.
Gyeongnam, one goal behind, made a change in the second half. Instead of Kim Se-yoon and Park Jae-hwan, Lee Min-ki and Lee Woo-hyuk were replaced with the 4-4-2 format. In the midst of exchanges, Gyeongnam balanced the game in the 24th minute of the second half. Thiago, who penetrated into the penalty box, tripped and fell to receive a penalty kick due to Jae-woo Kim’s tackle from Daejeon. Thiago, the kicker, calmly finished in the left corner to equalize. Then, in the 38th minute of the second half, Gyeongnam scored a comeback goal. Mo Jae-hyeon crossed the ball from the right, and Ko Kyung-min turned in front of the keeper and split the net to score a 2-1 comeback goal.
Gyeongnam gained 41 points by adding three points, and succeeded in moving up to fifth place, beating Asan in Chungnam. Chungnam Asan, who played a match at the same time, was defeated by Gimpo FC, maintaining 39 points and falling to 6th place.
