Suwon Samsung, a famous professional soccer player, failed to advance to the first division.
Suwon ranked sixth in the K League 2. This year’s record was 15 wins, 11 draws, and 10 losses (56 points). As a result, Suwon failed to advance to the promotion playoffs, and thus failed to achieve its dream of promotion.
Even the last hope disappeared. Suwon finished its season earlier than other teams. It won the match against the Ansan Greeners 2-1 on the 3rd, and Suwon ranked fourth at the time. I had to watch the other teams’ situations with anxiety. I had to hope for the loss of the Jeonnam Dragons and Busan I-Park, which competed for the rankings. However, Suwon’s wishes did not come true.
First of all, South Jeolla Province had a landslide 4-0 victory over Seoul E-Land at the final match of Hana Bank’s K League 2 2024 on Sunday. It had 16 wins, nine draws and 11 losses (57 points), moving up to fourth place. In the 10th minute of the first half, Plaka took advantage of the opposing defense’s lackluster concentration to score the first goal. In the 29th minute of the first half, Valdivia scored an additional goal. Plaka shook the net once again at the 32nd minute of the first half, and South Jeolla Province went 3-0.
In fact, it was the moment when South Jeolla Province’s advance to the playoffs was confirmed. South Jeolla Province’s Park Tae-yong’s crazy mid-range shot sealed the match at the 32nd minute of the second half. If E-Land had won, it would have been able to advance directly to the automatic promotion playoff, but the loss pushed it to third place.
Busan also won the last round, getting on the last leg of the playoffs. Busan beat Bucheon FC 3-1 at home on the day. Busan tied Suwon with 16 wins, eight draws and 12 losses (56 points), but ranked fifth ahead of the goal tally of 54 points. Starting with Son Hui’s first goal at the 13th minute in the first half, Mlapa and Pesin scored consecutive goals. 토토사이트
With this, all the teams for the K League 2 playoffs have been decided. The schedule has also been announced. First, South Jeolla Province, which ranks fourth, and Busan, which ranks fifth, will play a semi-playoff match on the 15th. On the 18th, they will have a playoff showdown with E-Land on the 3rd. The winning team will play a promotion playoff against the 10th-ranked team in the K League. South Chungcheong Province, which ranks second in the K League 2, will have a playoff against the 11th-ranked team in the K League. The team will have a home-and-away match.
Suwon started as a member in 1996 and spent 27 seasons in the K League 1 alone, winning four championships. However, it fell to the second division for the first time since the club was founded last season. It sought promotion for the first time in a year, but failed in the end.
Suwon club said on its SNS, “We deeply thank the fans for their unwavering support this season. I am so sorry for the result of not meeting your expectations,” adding, “We will do our best to thoroughly analyze what was lacking this season and make sure to be promoted in 2025.”
