As a result, Suwon FC, which added three points, scored 29 points, narrowing the gap with ninth-place Jeju United (34 points). On the other hand, Daejeon (37 points) in eighth place failed to leap to sixth place.
Lee Seung-woo’s winning goal’ Suwon FC has risen with three wins in the last five games
Daejeon put forward a 3-5-2 formation. Lee Chang-geun defended the goal and Anton, Cho Yoo-min, and Kim Hyun-woo formed a defense. The midfield consisted of Kang Yoon-sung, Joo Se-jong, Lee Jin-hyun, Kim Young-wook and Kim Ji-hoon, and the two-top was Tiago and Leandro.
Suwon FC faced off 4-3-3. Noh Dong-gun wore goalkeeper gloves, and Jung Dong-ho, Ugo Gomez, Shin Se-gye, and Kim Joo-yeop formed a four-back. Lee Young-jae, Lee Seung-woo, and Yoon Bit-garam were located in the midfield, and Kang Min-sung, Kim Hyun, and Lee Kwang-hyuk were located in the front.
In the battle of midfield and share, Daejeon had the upper hand. In the 18th minute of the first half, he threatened Suwon FC with a shot that led to Leandro and Lee Jin-hyun. In the 29th minute of the first half, Leandro caught a pass from goalkeeper Noh Dong-gun with forward pressure and shot, but failed to score.
Suwon FC also launched a counterattack. In the 31st minute of the first half, Lee Kwang-hyuk’s header connected a cross from the left was blocked by goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun. One minute later, however, the first goal came from Suwon FC. In the 32nd minute of the first half, Hugo Gomes passed with a header in the left corner kick situation. Later, Lee Seung-woo pushed the ball that Kim Hyun dropped with a header with his right foot in the par post. It was a scene with accurate location selection and quickness.
Suwon FC continued its good flow. In the 37th minute of the first half, Lee Young-jae’s half volley shot from the front of the penalty box hit the upper net. In the 39th minute of the first half, Lee Kwang-hyuk connected the right cutback pass with Kim Hyun’s right-footed non-stop shot, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper, leaving a regret.
At the beginning of the second half, Daejeon replaced Kim In-kyun and Lee Hyun-sik instead of Joo Se-jong and Kim Young-wook. Suwon FC also excluded Kang Min-sung and put in Oh In-pyo.
Daejeon created a good opportunity early in the second half. In the second half of the second half, Lee Hyun-sik’s cutback and Leandro’s shot were blocked by the goalkeeper. In the 7th minute of the second half, Lee Jin-hyun’s shot, which received a pass from Tiago, crossed the goal.
The two teams tried to make a difference by bringing out replacement cards again. Daejeon put Oh Jae-seok and Lee Sun-yu in the 10th and 15th minutes of the second half, respectively, while Suwon FC put Kim Sun-min in the 13th minute of the second half.
As the atmosphere did not change, Daejeon threw a winning move in the 34th minute of the second half by putting striker Yoo Kang-hyun instead of center back Cho Yoo-min. However, Suwon FC has a chance to run away. In the 38th minute of the second half, Park Chul-woo got a penalty kick from Anton. Kim Hyun, who played as a kicker, succeeded, but it was canceled as Hugo Gomes crossed the line in the lead.
Kim Hyun’s second penalty shoot was blocked by goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun. This time, a penalty kick was declared again as goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun’s foot fell off the goal line just before Kim Hyun shot. Kim Hyun’s third attempt went over the crossbar. For Kim Hyun, who aimed for his first goal of the season, it was regrettable.
Despite the unstable one-goal lead, Suwon FC effectively blocked Daejeon’s offensive and won a valuable victory.
Lee Seung-woo successfully transforms the central midfielder
Suwon FC was promoted to the K League 1 in 2021, ranking fifth and seventh for two seasons, creating a fresh wind. However, it has been hovering around the bottom since the beginning of this season. The 12th place must be directly demoted, and the 10th and 11th places must be promoted to the playoffs. Suwon FC is putting its life and death on every game to enter the ninth place, the remaining Maginot Line.
It was in August that the team atmosphere began to revive little by little. Lee Seung-woo has turned upward with three wins and two losses in the last five games, and the key to the change is Lee Seung-woo. After leaving the European stage last season and entering the K League 1, he showed off his robustness with 14 goals and 3 assists, shaking off the concerns around him.
In the first half of this season, it slowed down due to injuries and sluggishness. Along with the decrease in attack points, Suwon FC had to struggle in the relegation zone.
Lee Seung-woo recently changed his position to a central midfielder. The effect immediately appeared in the 25th round against Suwon Samsung. He scored the winning goal and was selected as the 25th round MVP of the K League 1.
He is participating in the team’s build-up this season, moving away from his role of catching goals through front-line penetration or dribbling the ball from the second line. It should be noted that despite the change in position, Lee Seung-woo scored as many as four goals in five games. In other words, taking on a more free role has made it more suitable for Lee Seung-woo to ease the burden on goals and be involved in various situations.
In the match against Daejeon on the same day, Lee Seung-woo scored the winning goal that gave the team a victory to the team. Unlike the situation in the first half, when the promotion playoffs were likely, Suwon FC, which is currently narrowed down to ninth-ranked Jeju by five points, has given a green light to remain in the K League 1 for three consecutive seasons. 토토사이트
