Gangwon, which cannot back down like this, has been active from the beginning of the second half. In the third minute of the second half, Gangwon hit the penalty box for the first time in a long time. Cho Jin-hyuk caught the ball, but the shot did not break through Seoul's hand-to-hand defense.

Gangwon continued to increase its offensive as it took control of ball possession. In response to Gangwon's counterattack, Seoul attempted to switch to a Lingard-centered counterattack. However, Lingard's choice of pass today was a little disappointing.

Gangwon added Yang Min-hyuk and Kim Kang-guk and replaced Yang Min-hyuk and Kim Dong-hyun. More than 34,000 fans came to the Seoul World Cup Stadium on this day, feeling the heated heat of the K-League.

With this victory, Seoul has made a clear leap forward as a favorite. As the recent trend is scary, there is a possibility that the gap with No. 1 Gangwon will be sufficiently narrowed. Seoul has won five consecutive league games for the first time in eight years since 2016. The strong flow played a part in the home game. Seoul has won seven consecutive games at home recently.
Gangwon put a brake on its rise as it was caught in Seoul. Still, it's still the team closest to winning. It depends on how it rebounds.
