Gangwon FC finally made their first win of the season.

Gangwon, led by coach Choi Yong-soo, won a 3-2 victory against FC Seoul in the 9th round of the ‘Hanawon Q K League 1 2023’ held at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon at 7:00 pm on the 26th. Coach Choi Yong-soo, who changed the starting lineup in the last Gwangju FC match, came out with the same lineup as the Gwangju match. In the 3-4-3- formation, Yang Hyeon-Jun, Park Sang-Hyuk, and Kim Dae-Woo formed a three-top team, and Seo Min-Woo and Han Han-Young were deployed in the midfield. The left and right wingbacks consisted of Jung Seung-yong and Yoo In-soo, and the three-back consisted of Yoon Seok-young, Kim Young-bin, and Lee Woong-hee. Lee Gwang-yeon, who played a big role against Gwangju, put on goalkeeper gloves once again.

FC Seoul chose a 4-4-2 formation. Willian and Ilyuchenko formed a two-top line, and Im Sang-hyeop, Ki Sung-yong, Han Chan-hee, and Na Sang-ho formed the midfield line. The back four consisted of Park Soo-il, Kim Joo-seong, Kwon Wan-kyu, and Kim Jin-ya, and Baek Jong-beom wore the goalkeeper gloves.

In the 24th minute of the first half, when both teams were barely getting a chance, Hyun-Jun “Crack” Yang flashed. Yang Hyeon-jun, who stripped the opponent’s defense with just one touch below the half-line, ran alone for about 70m and penetrated into the box before giving a cutback to Park Sang-hyeok, who was in front of the goal. Park Sang-hyeok calmly pushed the ball into the goal and scored the opening goal. It was a goal that broke Gangwon’s scoreless streak of 3 games in a row, and it was Park Sang-hyuk’s professional debut goal, which debuted in 2021. Park Sang-hyeok scored his first goal in 27 matches of his professional debut. In addition, it was Yang Hyun-jun’s first attack point this season.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Seo Min-woo attempted a mid-range shot amid strong forward pressure from Gangwon, but the ball rolled weakly and was hugged by the goalkeeper. In the 35th minute of the first half, Willian attempted a witty breakthrough from the left side of the arc and passed it to Lim Sang-hyup, who was in the box. The first half ended with Gangwon leading.

Seoul, who struggled in the first half, used three replacement cards at the start of the second half. Park Soo-il, Kwon Wan-kyu, and Ilyuchenko were removed, and Lee Tae-seok, Lee Han-beom, and Hwang Ui-jo were put in. However, Gangwon scored a goal in the first attack of the second half, as Seoul, who made a change, put it to shame. A long ball flew from the rear through Hankook Young and headed for Jeong Seung-yong on the left flank. Jung Seung-yong tried to break through and fired a powerful left-footed shot, which went through keeper Baek Jong-beom and went into the goal. It was a scene where Baek Jong-beom’s mistakes overlapped, but wingback Jung Seung-yong’s active participation in the attack saw the light. This match became the first time Gangwon scored more than two goals this season.

But the joy didn’t last long. Seoul quickly scored a comeback goal. In the 7th minute of the second half, in a corner kick situation, Lim Sang-hyup sprinted and scored a goal. Gangwon has become a chase situation.스포츠토토

In the 11th minute of the second half, Seoul replaced Han Chan-hee with Palosevich to strengthen the attack. In the 18th minute of the second half, Gangwon removed Yoo In-soo and put in Kim Jin-ho. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Seoul turned the game around. It was a corner kick again. Ki Sung-yueng’s corner kick was dropped by Lee Han-beom, and Lim Sang-hyeop pushed in to tie the game. It was a scene that left regret for Gangwon’s defense in that it was similar to Seoul’s first goal scene.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Gangwon took out Park Sang-hyuk and Kim Dae-woo, and put in Kim Dae-won and Gallego to change the attack. In the 31st minute of the second half, Hwang Eui-jo suffered an injury and was replaced by Han Seung-gyu. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Jung Seung-yong drew a warning from Lee Han-beom and took a free kick opportunity in a good position, but Kim Dae-won’s kick was cleared by the defense.

In the 34th minute of the second half, Seoul seized a golden opportunity. After taking the ball near the half line, he launched a quick counterattack and passed the ball to Na Sang-ho, who was in the box. Na Sang-ho was able to shoot, but chose to pass to Palosevic, who was in a better position. The goal was empty as Lee Kwang-yeon came out to block Na Sang-ho. However, Palošević’s shot went wide of the goal. Gangwon breathed a sigh of relief from the danger of being in a big battle.

In the 39th minute of the second half, Gangwon’s corner kick Kim Yeong-bin tried a threatening header, but it missed the goal slightly. In the 41st minute of the second half, Gangwon’s three-top counterattacked and Gallego had an opportunity, but Baek Jong-beom saved Gallego’s strong shot. Gangwon pushed Seoul with the speed of Three Top.

In the extra time of the second half, Gangwon created a miracle. After Gallego broke through, the attempted shot hit the defender and flew high, and developed into a chaotic situation in front of the gate. In this situation, Lee Woong-hee split Seoul’s goal with a fantastic turning shot.

Victory is right in front of your eyes. But Seoul did not give up. After continuing the attack, Lim Sang-hyeop blew a header, but it hit the post. In the ensuing corner kick situation, Gangwon’s defender blocked Seoul’s shot into the goal with his head. Eventually, after twists and turns, Gangwon recorded their first win of the season.
