3rd place Daegu, currently in the final of the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup, defeated the Jeonnam Dragons 1-0 in the first match of the K League 2 (Part 2), taking one step closer to winning the tournament.
If Daegu wins the FA Cup, they will go directly to the ACL finals next season, and the 4th place in K League 1 will go to the ACL PO.
Jumin-gyu, the top scorer on the day, scored a goal like gold in front of Lars (18 goals) of Suwon FC, who ranked second, leading Jeju to victory.
Ju Min-gyu widened the gap with Lars by 4 goals with his 22nd goal of the season, becoming the Korean K-League 1 top scorer for the first time in five years after current Jeju coach Jeong Jo-guk, who scored 20 goals for Gwangju FC in 2016.
In addition, Ju Min-gyu became the 12th player in K-League history to score 100 goals in his career with this goal, and the joy was greater.
In the first half, both teams fired five shots, but nothing came of it.
Only Jeju recorded one effective shot.
Jeju opened Suwon FC’s goal with a left-footed turning shot from the front of the goal area after Gerso exchanged a pass with Joo Min-gyu in the 28th minute of the first half.
However, the score was not recognized as it was confirmed through video review (VAR) that Kim Bong-soo committed a foul in the process of stealing the ball from Suwon FC Lee Young-jae in the center circle.
Even in the second half, the balance was hardly broken.
In the 15th minute of the second half, Suwon took over Kim Soo-beom’s penetration pass and faced the goalkeeper one-on-one. Lars shot a left-footed shot from the penalty spot, but it was disappointing as Lee Chang-geun headed straight ahead.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Lars’ right-footed shot from the penalty area also fell into the hands of the goalkeeper.
In the 25th minute of the second half of Jeju Island, Jumin-gyu’s shot crossed the goal, and a minute later, Gerso’s shot was saved by goalkeeper Yoohyeon, and a series of attacks went to nothing.
The match, which seemed to end in a draw despite the fierce battle, was finally decided in the 45th minute of the second half.
Jung Woo-jae broke through the left flank, smashed into the penalty box, and posted a cross, and Ju Min-gyu, who was on the right side of the goal area, hit it with his head and divided the joys of both teams.
Seongnam FC won 1-0 at home against Gwangju FC, increasing the chances of remaining in the first division by winning Ahn Jin-beom’s first goal of the season in the 29th minute and goalkeeper Kim Young-kwang’s save.
Jinbeom Ahn hit the ball from the left side of the goal area from the left side of the goal area with a right-footed overhead kick and put it into the goal of Gwangju.
Seongnam, who has increased their points to 44 (11 wins, 11 draws and 15 losses) by accumulating a win in 3 games after the recent 1 draw and 1 loss, beat FC Seoul (43, 11 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses), which has not played 37 rounds yet. The ranking went up one place.
Seongnam’s 11th-placed Gangwon FC (39 points, 9 wins, 12 draws and 15 losses) will not win the 28-day away match against Seoul, and they will be confirmed to remain in the K League 1 next season.
On the other hand, the shadow of the K-League 2 (2nd division) relegation fell more heavily in Gwangju, the bottom of the list.
Even if Gangwon draws with Seoul, Gwangju will be a direct relegation team.
