The prelude to the reversal victory drama at the end of the K League 2 season has risen. Chungnam Asan FC won the big match against the leading FC Anyang with a 1-0 victory, reaching under Anyang's chin. Foreign striker Denison scored the winning goal to put a dagger into Anyang's heart.

Chungnam Asan won 1-0 against home team FC Anyang in the 33rd round of '2024 Hana Bank K League 2' held at Anyang Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on the 28th. As a result, Asan in South Chungcheong Province has maintained a strong upward trend of three consecutive wins and scored 51 points (14 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses).

The so-called 'reverse angle' came out. South Chungcheong Province Asan, which added three points on the day, is only three points apart from the leader Anyang (54 points). While Chungnam Asan flew fiercely with six undefeated games (4 wins and 2 draws), the leader Anyang lost two consecutive games due to the defeat, dampening its momentum. The momentum can change at any time, but if the current atmosphere continues, Chungnam Asan may reverse the ranking.

Anyang, where maintaining the lead was the top priority, operated a 4-5-1 formation. After putting Nicholas in the front line, he supported the second and third lines with Moon Sung-woo, Matheus, Kim Jung-hyun, Choi Kyu-hyun and Yago. Kim Dong-jin, Park Jong-hyun, Kim Young-chan, and Joo Hyun-woo made a four-back defense. Kim Da-sol keeper started.

Asan in South Chungcheong Province brought up a 3-4-3 formation reflecting its confidence. Yoo Dong-gyu, Denison, and Juningyo made a three-top. Kim Joo-sung, Kim Jong-seok, Choi Chi-won and Kang Jun-hyuk came out as second-term players. Keeper Shin Song-hoon started the three-back of Lee Eun-beom, Hwang Ki-wook, and Choi Hee-won.

The first half was tight. Neither Anyang nor Asan in South Chungcheong Province had a clear advantage. There was a fierce ownership battle in the midfield. In Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, Chunyingyo Choi Chi-won Hwang Ki-wook shot once each. Rather, Anyang threatened the goal of Chungnam Asan several times. Matheus and Kim Jung-hyun's shots headed inside the goal, but Chungnam Asan's defense barely blocked them. However, in the end, the first half ended 0-0.

In the second half, Chungnam Asan first took out the replacement card. Without Yoo Dong-gyu, Park Se-jik was added at the beginning of the second half. It worked. The attack became a little more active. In the end, the goal came out in three minutes. In a mixed situation in front of the box, Denison caught the ball that Juninho passed and broke through the box, and fired the shot as it was to penetrate the goal.

Anyang tried to make a comeback, but the players rushed. In the 31st minute of the second half, even Yago was injured. Anyang, in crisis, diligently knocked on the goal with Nicolas and Lee Tae-hee and Yachida. However, Shin Song-hoon keeper's good defense continued, and Chungnam Asan eventually sounded the winning note.
