No one laughed in the six-point match.

Busan I'Park and Seoul E-Land tied 0-0 in the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' match held at Gudeok Stadium in Busan on the 5th. The two teams shared only one point each. Busan (51 points) remained in third place and E-Land (50 points) remained in fourth place.

It was a 'big match'. Before the match, the two teams were ranked third and fourth with one point between them. Busan (50 points) was third and E-Land (49 points) was fourth. The ranking could have changed depending on the results of the game on the day.

The atmosphere was even better in Busan. Busan was undefeated in seven consecutive games starting with the match against Asan in Chungnam (1-0 win) on August 18. In particular, he won a complete 5-0 victory against the Ansan Greeners on the 29th of last month. 'Original Team'E-Land was in a situation where its momentum was dampened. E-Land lost 0-2 against Gimpo FC on the 30th of last month.

Busan was a 3-4-3 tactic. Pesin and Yuhei led the attack with Mrafah at the center. Kim Ryun-sung Lim Min-hyuk, Ramas, and Kang Ji-hoon were located at the waist. Kim Hee-seung, Lee Do-do and Lee Dong-soo were located in the three-back. Ku Sang-min kept the goal.

E-Land also came out with a 3-4-3 formation. Jeong Jae-min and Montagno were located at the front line. The midfield was coordinated by Park Min-seo, Seo Jae-min, Baek Ji-woong, and Park Chang-hwan. Osmar, Kim Oh-kyu and Kim Min-kyu were in charge of defense. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Moon Jung-in.

The game has begun. Both teams were cautious. E-Land led the game overall, but Busan took advantage of the side to counterattack. E-Land targeted the opponent's goal with a shot from Park Min-seo and Busan from Ramas. A variable has occurred. E-Land's Montagno is out with an injury. Lee Joon-seok filled the vacancy. Players from both teams played without avoiding wild physical fights. In particular, Busan left a regret in the 43rd minute of the first half when Lim Min-hyuk's shot was cleared by E-Land Kim Min-kyu. The first half ended 0-0 without scoring.

Both teams used replacement cards at the start of the second half. Busan deployed Lee Joon-ho and Lee Sang-joon instead of Mlapa and Lim Min-hyuk. In E-Land, Cha Seung-hyun played instead of Kim Oh-kyu.

E-Land opened with Byeon Kyung-joon's shot. Busan counterattacked with Lee Sang-joon's counterattack, but was blocked by Kim Min-kyu's hand-to-hand defense. Busan also countered by Lee Do-han blocking Byun Kyung-joon's cross. Both teams attacked strongly and aimed at the opponent's goal.

E-Land made another change in the 13th minute of the second half. Except for Byun Kyung-joon and Jung Jae-min, Kazuki and Kim Shin-jin were added to strengthen their offense.

Busan took a decisive opportunity. Baek Ji-woong's handball was declared during Ramas' shooting in the 30th minute of the second half. Busan got a free kick opportunity in a good position. However, Busan did not succeed in Ramas' free kick and the subsequent Uhei's corner kick.

E-Land, who overcame the crisis, made another change by adding Cho Young-kwang instead of Seo Jae-min. Busan had Pesin's strong shot in the 38th minute of the second half, but Moon Jung-in's super save came out. Busan also made changes immediately. U-hey, excluding Lee Dong-soo, Kwon Sung-yoon and Cheon Ji-hyun were put in.
