A draw that deserves applause, but disappointing. Seongnam-FC Anyang 90 minutes of blood fight ended 1-1. Both the lowest Seongnam and the leading Anyang were excellent

Aug 25, 2024

Seongnam and FC Anyang eventually couldn't decide the game.

Seongnam and FC Anyang drew 1-1 after a bloody battle in the 28th round of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' held at Tancheon Stadium in Seongnam on the 25th.

Seongnam took the lead in the 37th minute of the first half with Lee Jung-min's diving header, but Anyang tied it with Han Eui-kwon's mid-range shot that was replaced in the first minute of the second half.



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.

▶ First half

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.

Anyang's immediate wave offensive. In the 41st minute of the first half, Anyang Kim Un fired a one-on-one strong left-footed shot with Choi Pil-soo, but it was a hand-to-hand defense. Anyang attempted to break through the left several times, but was blocked by Seongnam's dense defense. In the 45th minute, Yago fired an exquisite overhead kick, but it went over the crossbar. The referee whistle blew. 1-0, Seongnam's lead in the first half. Seongnam had a great chance to break the chain of winless games for nine consecutive games.

▶ Second half

Anyang used oriental medicine instead of Moon Seong-woo in the second half. As soon as the second half started, it worked. The Korean medicine sector took a golden opportunity in the center of the PA with its exquisite location selection. Calmly, he shook the goal with his right foot strong shot.

They tied the game right away. Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon's mercenary skills hit the mark.

a situation in which Anyang's momentum can rise. However, Seongnam immediately regained stability. The result was a square one.

Seongnam began to strengthen its offensive again by sending Park Ji-won in place of Correa. In the 12th minute of the second half, Anyang Kim Jung-hyun collided with Seongnam's Whois. When he collapsed, he was hit by the larynx and even bleeding.

Kim Jung-hyun was an irreplaceable resource as an airlift link between the three Anyang lines. Eventually, it was replaced by Kim Young-chan. A bad news that could weaken Anyang's third line.

Seongnam's offensive intensified. He made quite a lot of moves, and unlike the first half, he switched to the offensive by raising the defensive line.

Seongnam had a golden opportunity. However, the lucky goddess turned away. Park Ji-won's powerful mid-range shot. The shot deflected off the defender's body missed after being hit by the crossbar.

It was a very regrettable moment for Seongnam. Anyang changed its front-line offensive route by putting Nicholas in place of Kim Un.

a slight lull. 28 minutes into the second half, Anyang's free-kick chance. Han Eui-kwon's surprise left-footed shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. Then, Seongnam immediately faced Park Ji-won's counterattack. Park Kwang-il's one-touch shot that received the pass was in front of the goalkeeper.

It was a very disappointing scene for both teams.

35 minutes into the second half, the defense of both teams began to become loose. In the hot weather, the burden of physical strength was rising to the breaking point.

There was a gap between the front and the last. This meant that there were many spaces where both teams' attacks were easy to penetrate. The head coaches of both teams took out the last hidden card by replacing the players. Seongnam replaced Whois with Koo Bon-cheol, and Anyang activated Chae Hyun-woo in place of Yago.

The players of both teams really did their best. A fierce struggle in the midfield,

Anyang's sharp cross passed in front of the goal in the 45th minute of the second half in a corner kick situation. Anyang shot in front of the goal three times, but goalkeeper Choi Pil-soo made several super saves.

The second half of injury time was given eight minutes.

In the end, the two teams shared one point. It was a disappointing draw for both teams.
