"I felt good energy in the new stadium."

Suwon Samsung manager Byun Sung-hwan's 'Gam' was accurate. He said he felt an unusual energy in the new stadium where he will play the rest of this season's home games. It wasn't an empty word. Even in the sweltering heat of a summer night, Suwon players' movements were sharp and explosive. There was a constant fighting spirit that rarely got tired.

As manager Byun said, the good energy of Yongin Mir Stadium, which Suwon used as a temporary home stadium, seemed to give the players a boost. After an aggressive offensive against FC Anyang, the league's leading powerhouse, they won 2-1. As a result, Suwon achieved its 10th win (seven draws and seven losses) of the season, continuing its unbeaten streak (4 wins and six draws) in the last 10 consecutive games. It also tied with fourth-place South Chungcheong Province Asan FC with 37 points (10 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses). He remained in fifth place after falling behind in multiple points.

In particular, he made the first step perfectly by winning the first game at Mir Stadium in Yongin, where he has to play the rest of this season's home games. This can definitely motivate players. Confidence at home is very important in playing the season. The image of a 'home stadium that gives good energy to the team, a stadium that calls for victory' can strengthen the mental strength of the players.

Suwon encountered a situation where the Suwon World Cup Stadium, which was originally used as its home stadium, had to go under the ground construction of the grass. In the end, he rushed to Mir Stadium during a two-week break after the 25th round. The benches used by the players on the ground were also moved as they were by using heavy equipment. We tried to create an environment similar to that of Suwon World Cup Stadium as much as possible.

Ahead of the home game against Anyang on this day, Coach Byun was quite satisfied with the feeling of the new stadium, saying, `I played open training and practice games at the new stadium, and I felt good energy.' Then "Today is an important showdown. I think the opponent wants to play in the second half, but we'll play in the first half. I'll score the first goal in my style and lead the game."

Coach Byun's feeling for his new home stadium was accurate. And the game plan planned before the game was also carried out as it was. Kim Ji-ho scored the first goal in the 43rd minute of the first half, and he assisted Mulic's net goal in the third minute of the second half, scoring one goal and one assist. He was the top contributor to the 2-1 victory.

On this day, both teams operated 4-3-3. Suwon placed Milat and Kim Ji-ho on the left and right, centering on Mulich at the front line. Paulino and Hong Won-jin and Lee Jae-wook organized a triangular midfield in the second line. Four-back is Lee Ki-je, Jang Seok-hwan, Han Ho-gang, Lee Si-young. Park Ji-min, the keeper of the goal, was in charge of the goal.

In response, Anyang put Kim Dong-jin, Kim Un Yachida in front of them. Choi Kyu-hyun and Matheus Kim Jung-hyun are the midfielders. Four hundred is Kim Min-ho, Kim Young-chan, Lee Chang-yong, and Lee Tae-hee. Kim Da-sol keeper started.

Anyang took the lead early in the first half. Kim Woon's shot came out in three minutes. Matheus also shot in the 12th minute of the first half. Suwon blocked it well. Suwon has increased its share since the middle of the first half. Kim Ji-ho and Mulich Milat sharply pierced left and right and center. In the end, Kim Ji-ho scored the first goal in the 43rd minute of the first half.

After an active offensive after the middle of the first half, Kim Ji-ho's first goal was scored at the end of the first half. Milat's shot was blocked and he pushed it in. In the first half, Suwon leads 1-0.

Anyang missed a decisive chance within a minute of the second half. Kim Un threw himself from the front and received a cross from Mateus from the right. But he came out after being hit by a crossbar. Kim Dong-jin hit the ball that flowed out with a mid-range shot, but the keeper blocked it well.

Suwon scored an additional goal three minutes into the second half. Kim Ji-ho dropped Milat's cross with a body trapping in the box. Mulich neatly hit a finishing shot and shook the net.

Anyang, trailing by two goals, unleashed a wave of attacks. However, the goal was rarely opened. Lee Tae-hee barely scored a goal with her head in the second half of extra time. We have a minute left. The reversal was impossible.
