FC Anyang, the undisputed leader, succeeded in beating the second-place chase by sacrificing Cheonan City.
Anyang won 3-0 with consecutive goals in the second half of the home game against Cheonan in the 21st round of the '2024 Hana One Q K League 2' held at Anyang Sports Complex on the 8th.
With this, Anyang has 12 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses (40 points), widening the gap with the second-place Jeonnam Dragons (10 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses).
It was Anyang, which is in a hurry to lead Mercury, and Cheonan, which is in a desperate need of a mid-range leap. Anyang has not shown bad performance with five wins, three draws and two losses in the last 10 games, but it was chased by two points as Jeonnam chased with an unbeaten streak of seven wins and three draws.
Cheonan, ranked 10th, was in a position to worry about the pursuit of the lower ranks as it had one win, two draws and two losses since June. Moreover, Cheonan was also unable to avoid the bad news of holding a consecutive 'Original Underwater War' following the Gimpo War (1:1 draw) on the 29th of last month. In Anyang, the weather was grumpy, with the stem of monsoon rain thickening from an hour and a half before kickoff (7:30 p.m.) and then dying down near the end of the first half.
Contrary to expectations, the lower team Cheonan endured well in the first half. Cheonan first scared Anyang. In about three minutes in the first half, the best 'Hwajegol' of the season almost came out. Cheonan Mota blocked the opponent's pass in the center of the field and fired a long shot with his right foot at the kickoff point. It was a surprise shot aimed at Anyang goalkeeper Kim Da-sol moving forward with the goal empty. The ball flew towards the goal. Surprised, GK Kim Da-sol quickly retreated and managed to punch, and the ball bounced right in front of the goal line after hitting the crossbar.
Anyang, which was caught off guard, immediately retaliated as if the pride of the No. 1 team was hurt. As Cheonan resisted with active foul operations and tackles in the midfield, it increased the amount of activity on the left and right sides to take the lead.
Mateus' shot slightly turned away from the goal post in the 7th minute, and Kim Jung-hyun's header following a corner kick in the 14th minute was in the arms of Cheonan GK Je Jong-hyun.

If Cheonan bothered the opponent with a surprise attack, Anyang kept turning a little away from the goalpost, so it was hard. In the 29th minute, even the bicycle kick that Danlei tried in a no-mark situation missed the right goal column.
Anyang, which has good objective power, took out an early replacement card in the 36th minute when it rarely scored the first goal. Instead of removing right flanker Moon Sung-woo, Brazilian mercenary Yago, who had three goals and two assists, strongly expressed his desire for goal.
However, the bad luck of finishing, which was 2% short, still bothered Anyang. Yago, who was replaced in the 43rd minute, created a decisive opportunity for Choi Sung-bum, who was rushing to the gate after penetrating deep into the right side, but Choi Sung-bum's shooting step got tangled, so he turned away from the goal again.
Anyang did not slow down its offensive, hitting two effective shots in the 10 minutes of the second half. Did you say that if you tap hard, it will open up. Yago, who had been replaced and revitalized, finally laid a foothold. In the 20th minute of the second half, Mateus finished with a strong mid-range shot when Yago, who was dribbling quickly to the right side of the arc, blurred the Cheonan defense and pushed it.
Anyang, which was revived, actually added a net goal just four minutes later to entertain home fans. When Cheonan defender Kang Young-hoon's back pass to the goalkeeper seemed a little weak, Choi Sung-bum ran quickly and blocked goalkeeper Je Jong-hyun's kick with a sliding tackle to make it a goal. A video review was conducted, but it was a legitimate tackle.
One minute before Cheonan allowed an additional goal, it was painful that Kim Sung-joo's surprise long shot hit the crossbar again. Anyang Yachida's finishing goal in the second minute of extra time in the second half was a service that relieved Jang Ma-bi's annoyance.
Meanwhile, Gyeongnam allowed the first goal in the first half in an away match against Seongnam, and won the game 4-1 after two draws and four losses thanks to Wales' one goal and two assists.
