The protagonist of the historic first confrontation between FC Seoul and FC Anyang in front of 40,000 spectators was Jesse Lingard.
Lingard scored the first winning goal in the 2nd minute of the second half in the second round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at 4:30 p.m. on the 22nd at Seoul World Cup Stadium to give his team a 2-0 victory. Lucas scored an additional goal in the 33rd minute of the second half. Choi Sung-beom recovered one goal in the second minute of extra time in the second half, but it did not affect the result.
Seoul, which lost 0-2 to Jeju in the opening game, reported its first win of the season in two games. The pace is faster than that of the 2024 season of Kim Ki-dong, who won one game in three games.
Lingard, who joined Seoul last year and entered the K-League in a surprise move, scored his first goal of the season and his K-League debut goal through the match against Gangwon (2-0 win) in the 19th round of the first year, and this season, he shot a magic goal from the second round and the first game, raising expectations for his second year.
Anyang, the promotion team that surprisingly defeated defending champion Ulsan 1-0 in the opening game, sadly suffered in the tough and unusual 'Yeongoji Derby' against Seoul.
Through the bitter cold, 41,415 spectators visited the stadium, the most in a single game this year, to cheer. There were 5,304 away fans in Anyang.

Lucas and Moon Seon-min and Kim Shin-jin were placed on the bench in preparation for the game not to go as desired.
Anyang changed only one spot compared to the last match against Ulsan. Veteran midfielder Lee Young-jik, who played as a substitute against Ulsan, started. Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon "Lee Young-jik joined the team about a month late. I prepared for the match against Seoul"I expected his performance.
Mota and Matheus were the vanguards of attack. Chae Hyun-woo, Kim Jung-hyun, Lee Young-jik, Kang Ji-hoon set up the midfield, while Lee Tae-hee, Lee Chang-yong, Thomas, and Kim Dong-jin were in charge of four backs. Kim Da-sol defended the goal.

The tactical concept of both teams was clear. Seoul continued to seek opportunities by taking a high ball possession. Anyang countered with a counterattack strategy after crouching and playing. Seoul struggled in the early stages under the harsh pressure of Anyang. Players often fell on slippery grass.
First of all, Anyang took a decisive chance. In the 23rd minute, Kim Jung-hyun header a cross from Mateus to the gate from the left, but it slightly went off the left side of the net. Lee Young-jik's bold mid-range shot in the 24th minute hit the side net, and Kang Hyun-moo hit Matheus' shot in the penalty area in the 32nd minute.
Seoul quickly tried to make changes in the 28th minute of the first half by excluding Son Seung-beom and putting Lucas in. In the 37th minute, Cho Young-wook connected the pass to Lingard, who was running towards the gate, and Lingard's shot was slightly off the post. Lucas' shot in the 41st minute of Seoul's counterattack was weakly placed in the goalkeeper's arms. The first half ended 0-0.

Anyang coach Yoo, who performed better than expected, took out Chae Hyun-woo, a 22-year-old resource, and put in Yago at half-time to pull the reins on the attack. However, in the second minute of the second half, before the effect of Yago's input was even released, Seoul scored the first goal.
The ball flowed sideways as Jung Seung-won tripped over the opponent near the opponent's box. Lee Young-jik ran quickly and touched the ball, but unfortunately, the ball touched by Lee Young-jik hit Lingard's foot again and was sucked into the corner of the goal. Lingard, who is immersed in the drama Squid Game, replaced the ceremony with the stop motion of Mugunghwa Blooming.
Anyang, which fought back, faced a decisive equalizer in the eighth minute of the second half. Mota attempted a right foot volley after chest trapping near the middle of the box. It was such a sharp play that the Seoul defense could not move. However, the ball that left Mota's foot was slightly off the post.
In the 20th minute of the second half, Seoul excluded Cho Young-wook and put in Moon Seon-min. Anyang also showed a winning move. Matheus and Kang Ji-hoon were brought to the bench, and Eduardo and Choi Sung-beom were put in. In the 28th minute of the second half, Seoul's Kim Joo-sung blew a decisive chance in front of the gate.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Seoul scored an additional goal to seal the victory. Lingard's high-flying ball into the gate was connected to Lucas at the back with Yazan's back to the defense, and Lucas shook the net with an acrobatic right-footed volley.
Anyang followed one goal in an atmosphere that was solidifying with Seoul's 2-0 victory. Choi Joon avoided the back pass handed over by Yazan without catching it, and he was quickly put in a counterattack situation. Choi Sung-beom, who caught the ball, scored without missing a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper. Anyang's chasing goal heated the stadium again. But there were no extra goals. Seoul won by a score of 2 to 1.
