Daegu FC survived just before losing. Daegu continued its hope of escaping from the relegation zone as Cesinha scored an equalizer at the end of the second half against FC Seoul.
Daegu tied the match 1-1 at the 31st round home game between Seoul and Hana Bank K League 1 in 2024 held at DGB Daegu Bank Park at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Daegu won a valuable point thanks to Cesinha’s dramatic right-footed equalizer just before the end of extra time in the second half.
Coach Park Chang-hyun, who attended the post-match press conference, said, “Thanks to the fans who support us despite bad weather, we tied the game. I am grateful to the players who did their best until the end without giving up.”
For Daegu, the injury of Kim Jin-hyuk in the middle of the second half seemed to be a variable. Park Jin-young was put in center back due to Kim Jin-hyuk’s injury. Coach Park Chang-hyun said, “I had planned to replace the striker rather than the defender. A young player named Park Jae-hyun did well on the side and replaced it with Hong Chul. I thought about replacing the offensive side, but I think that was lacking.”
As for Kim Jin-hyuk’s injury, he said, “He says he doesn’t have much pain yet, but he seems to have suffered damage. He is near his knee, and he needs to undergo a physical examination on Monday. I hope it is not a serious injury.”
Asked to rate Cesinha, who scored the equalizer, he said, “I want to compliment all the players. The opponent team is competing for the championship, and the players are good. All the players should be praised for doing what our players did without giving up to the end,” stressing that the entire team did well. 스포츠토토
The next match will be against Gangwon FC. “We lost two games to Gangwon FC this year. We will train with the goal of winning the match unconditionally. We will analyze the game well tomorrow to respond and prepare well,” coach Park Chang-hyun said.
Regarding the most important point of winning, he said, “We are a team with good defense. If you don’t lose a point, there are players who can score, such as Cesinha, Ko Jae-hyun, and Yoshino. I think I can win if I persevere and hold out in defense.”
