The first playoff (PO) between Daegu FC, ranked 11th in the K League 1, and Chungnam Asan, ranked 2nd in the K League 2, will be held.
Daegu, led by coach Park Chang-hyun, and Asan, led by coach Kim Hyun-seok, will hold the “Hana Bank K League 2024” promotion PO at Cheonan Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 28th. The second round will be held at DGB Daegu Bank Park, Daegu’s home stadium, on the 1st of next month.
The first round is an important match to gain pre-emptive control. Daegu saved most of its main players in the final league match that took place on last Monday. The key to this is whether and when Cesinha, the pillar of the team, will play. He skipped three games due to rib injury. He is focusing on maintaining his sense of play by playing in warm-up matches. As it is an away match, he has an option to save Cesinha as much as possible before competing in the second round.
In 2013, Daegu finished 13th in the first division and was demoted to the second division. It ranked second in the second division in 2016, and it did not drop after winning promotion. Then, it will hold the promotion PO for the first time this season.
Asan also advanced to the promotion PO for the first time. Asan, which started the season under coach Kim, has truly been a storm. It scored 60 goals in 36 K-League 2 matches, showing off its offensives. Solid defense led by Hwang Ki-wook, Lee Han-bum and Choi Hee-won is another of Asan’s strengths.
As for offense, he has diverse scoring routes including foreign players Juninho (12 goals and eight assists) and Denison (6 goals), as well as Park Dae-hoon (5 goals and five assists), Kang Min-kyu (8 goals and five assists), and Kim Seung-ho (1 goal and six assists). He is quite good at counterattacks and is fast to reach the goal through strong pressure. 토토사이트
In addition, Asan had 45 assists, the most in the K League 2 this season. The team stands out in teamwork.
Asan left Changwon on-season training after the regular league was over and strengthened its organization. The final match was played on the 9th. As there was a three-week break, there will be no physical problems.
“We put everything into this moment. We believe in the sweat and passion that we shed. We will be able to enjoy the honor and victory of promotion with our fans,” Kim said through his team.
