First of all, Seongnam has gained the upper hand.

Seongnam ended the first half with a 1-0 lead with Lee Jung-min's diving header in the 37th minute of the 28th round of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' held at Tancheon Stadium in Seongnam on the 25th.

Seongnam at the bottom is Kim Hae-woon's acting coach system. The appointment of a new coach is difficult. In the end, Gyeonggi-do Province chose the acting head coach Kim for now.

There have already been two matches, all of which have been drawn.

There are no wins in nine games. There's nowhere else to step back. However, I have a good memory with Anyang, the number one player in the league. Anyang is the team that won just before the 9th consecutive draw. On June 15, he won the game 3-1 at Tancheon Sports Complex.

The performance is coming up. In the match against Cheongju, they lost consecutive games, and in the match against Cheonan, they seemed to secure the victory with Killer Who's multi-scoring, but in the end, they were tied.

Anyang, on the other hand, is a strong team that is racing to the top of the league. However, the recent trend has slowed down. The showdown between the two teams has been tight this season.

Seongnam has a 4-4-2 formation. Ace Whoise and Lee Jung-min are two-top, Correa, Choi Joon-young, Oh Jae-won and Kim Jung-hwan are two-term players, and Yang Yang-yang, Yoon Young-sun, Kim Joo-won, Park Kwang-il are four hundred. He is the most essential goalkeeper.

Anyang is 4-2-3-1. Kim Un is the front line, Yago, Matheus, and Moon Sung-woo are the second line. Matheus and James, who were raging, faltered a little. Lee Young-jik and Kim Jung-hyun are in the third term, and Kim Dong-jin, Park Jong-hyun, Lee Chang-yong, and Lee Tae-hee are in the 400. It's goalkeeper Kim Da-sol.

Seongnam was not easy. A tense battle ensued in the midfield. Seongnam's sideback Park Kwang-il marked Anyang ace Matheus thoroughly. Seongnam used four hundred, but Park Kwang-il focused all on Mateus control regardless of position. It was a bit of a modified defensive tactic.

Until the 15th minute of the first half, both teams failed to create any significant chances. However, when the two teams met, sparks flew. I was a slugger.

It's like calm in a storm. The power battle to occupy the midfield was fierce.

Seongnam strengthens its defense by making up to five-back and up to six-back. The defensive line was systematically raised to within 20 meters of the half-line. The intention was to strengthen the defense and aim for a shot of Whois through a quick counterattack.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Anyang's exquisite through pass from Mateus connected to Yago. The cross threatened the goal, but it was caught off the side. However, it was a scene where you could see the power of Anyang Mateus and Yago.

In the 28th minute, Anyang again had a sharp cross by a sharp right breakthrough. However, the cross flowed as Moon Sung-woo, who was inundated, failed to reach his feet.

Seongnam, which had been blocking Anyang's salary, finally had a chance.

In the 37th minute of the first half, a golden first goal was scored. Seongnam's counterattack situation. Kim Jung-hwan's gale-like dribble. The center was inundated with Huis. It was `Bait.' Kim Jung-hwan scored a sensational goal with an opposite cross and Lee Jung-min a diving header.

Seongnam took the lead. 1-0, Seongnam's lead.
