Gwangju FC missed the chance to leap to sixth place. 'The natural enemy' Incheon United caught him again.
Gwangju lost 0-2 at home in the 23rd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' held at Gwangju Football Stadium on the 14th. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Incheon defender Yonichi was allowed to score the first goal, and in the 37th minute of the second half, foreign striker Gabriel scored an own goal in a corner set-piece situation.
As a result, Gwangju failed to win points on its home turf as it failed to win two consecutive games. If Gwangju added three points on the day, it could have looked up to sixth place, but it swallowed its regret in the face of defeat. He continued his weak performance against Incheon with no wins (three draws and three losses) in six consecutive games.
Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo, who met after the game, said "I returned home after two away games, and the players were having a hard time. There are also injuries in resources that they don't have, and the focus should be on players recovering for the time being. The players worked hard."
Then "I changed players early because I got greedy in the first half, and I regret if I had given those players more time. Anyway, the players did their best, and the fans cheered hard, so it's just a pity. There are some areas where the results didn't come out compared to the efforts, but I think the players are doing their best. "
Before the game, coach Lee said, "(If you tap it, it will open one day)" about Incheon's defensive strategy solution. He meant to keep attacking and open the goal. But the attack didn't go well.
In response, coach Lee said, `In the end, this is what happens when the other team gets down. It's a pity, but I'm looking for a way. I don't think the players are lying on the field. I'm doing my best. However, it is a question of whether it leads to a goal or not. It is not easy to make a goal against the defense line. If I and the players try a lot, a way will come out. Even if you score a goal, you have to knock constantly"I will continue to play aggressive soccer."
