E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun, who beat Gimpo by setting a tie record for the most points scored by the team, raised his thumb toward the players, especially Byun Kyung-joon, who is credited with winning.

E-Land won a 5-2 victory over Gimpo in the 24th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' away game held at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium on the 24th with five goals in the second half alone.

E-Land, which lost 3-4 against Cheonan City and lost its upward trend, scored 34 points with a cool victory on the day, jumping two notches from sixth to fourth.

"Overall, there was a lucky situation where Kim scored a lot in the second half and Kimpo was sent off. The whole situation seems to be good. In the second half, Byun Kyung-joon, who entered as a substitute, asked him to target the opponent's back space, but he faithfully played the role well. I want to compliment BAEK JUN" he raised his thumb.

E-Land, which finished 0-0 in the first half, put in Byun Kyung-joon at half-time and then focused on the back space of the opponent's defense. Byun Kyung-joon, who received Cha Seung-hyun's space pass in the 6th minute of the second half, scored the first goal. Byun Kyung-joon made a quick penetration into the gate in the 24th and 32nd minutes of the second half, drawing Kimpo goalkeeper Son Jung-hyun's fouls in a row. Son Jung-hyun was eventually sent off in the second warning, and Kazuki and Osmar successively scored penalties to widen the gap. Gimpo has already exhausted all five replacement cards, so midfielder Choi Jae-hoon defended the goal the rest of the time. Since then, Plana (Gimpo), Lee Joon-seok (E-land), Lewis (Gimpo), and Seo Jae-min (E-land) have alternately scored.

Coach Kim said "After the first half, the shortcomings were analyzed. It was considered that the opposing center back was tall and slow. In the second half, if Byun Kyung-joon was put in, he could target the opponent's defense, which was relatively deteriorated. He promised to keep aiming for the right back space until the 10th minute of the second half. The movement was not good at the beginning of the second half, but it came out well after 10 to 15 minutes."

"I thought E-Land's advantage was the back space (invasion), so I let the players know through a meeting," Kimpo coach Ko Jung-woon said. However, I couldn't train properly because I only had two days left. The players did their best. The lack of supervision has resulted in this kind of result."

Director Kim also had some regrets. It's a loss. E-Land dedicated two goals with a numerical advantage on the day. The record for consecutive runs has increased to 11 games. Director Kim said, `It could be following the manager's tendency. Even if they are winning, they want to put more in the attack chance. I'm satisfied with the score, but I hope I don't lose a point." There are a number of factors to lose. Today, I got two free kicks, and in the previous game, I had a problem of concentration. I will take a good look at it and prepare well for the next game."

Kazuki and Seo Jae-min scored their E-Land debut goals side by side on the same day. Regarding Kazuki, who was acquired from Suwon in a trade with Peter this summer, Kim said, `He joined the team during the season and is playing a good role as an offensive link. He has personal ability and has good kick ability in free kick situations. There's a lot of activity, too. Joining the team helps a lot. I hope we finish the season well without any injuries" expressed satisfaction.

As for Seo Jae-min "He is a player with high potential. Since the Korea Cup against FC Seoul in April, he has been putting it in. There is something to complement, but it has a lot of potential. I want to give a high evaluation to him for his performance and activities."

Kimpo has been mired in a four-game losing streak, including the Korea Cup. Coach Koh, who entered the press conference room with a gloomy expression on his face, apologized to the fans. I think I lost a lot of physical strength. It is a concern that the three-back players are physically struggling. The players played hard in this heat, but they lacked a lot of coaches. I'll look back on myself first. I will settle it quickly and prepare well for the match against Suwon."
