Suwon Samsung, which lost its pride by falling into the professional soccer K League 2 this season, came from behind to win the final round of the second division regular round, saving the spark of promotion to the first division.
Suwon, led by head coach Byun Sung-hwan, defeated the Ansan Greeners 2-1 in the 38th round of the 2024 K League 2 at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province on the 3rd.
Suwon, which was the first team among the 13 teams to play all 36 games, ranked fourth with 15 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses (56 points). In the K League 2, the winner will be automatically promoted to the first division, and the runner-up will seek promotion through the promotion playoff with the 11th-ranked team in the K League. For the third, fourth and fifth places, a team that penetrates the semi-PO-PO will have the promotion PO with the 10th-ranked team in the K League.
Suwon, which has scored 46 goals in this season, is currently competing with fifth-ranked Jeonnam Dragons (15 wins, 9 draws, 11 losses, 54 points, 57 goals) and sixth-ranked Busan I’Park (15 wins, 8 draws, 12 losses, 53 points, 52 goals), who have played one less game. For Jeonnam, the final match will be held with Seoul E-Land and Busan FC on Sunday, and if both teams draw or lose, Suwon will play in the semi-PO, confirming its fourth place. If both teams win, Suwon will fall to sixth place, shattering their dream of promotion. If either team wins, Suwon will join the semi-PO in fifth place as the last team to continue its dream of promotion.
Suwon scored the first goal in the 10th minute of the second half against Ansan on the day, and is in danger of being confirmed early on to remain in the second division. Bae Seo-joon pulled Suwon from the brink. Bae Seo-joon, who was substituted in the 18th minute of the second half, tied the game with a left-footed shot in front of the penalty arc in the fifth minute. Suwon scored a come-from-behind goal on Paulino’s corner kick in the 29th minute of the second half when Cho Yoon-sung hit his head. 메이저사이트
E-Land, which swept Gyeongnam FC 3-0 at the previous match, secured at least the third place and confirmed its advance to the PO for the second time since its foundation in 2014. E-Land, which accumulated 58 points in 35 matches with 17 wins, seven draws and 11 losses, pushed Chungnam Asan FC (57 points) to the third place and moved up to the second place. With the final match against Jeonnam on Tuesday next week, if it keeps its second place, it will directly advance to the promotion PO with 11th place in K League 1. If E-Land becomes the third place after being defeated by Chungnam Asan, it will seek to advance to the promotion PO with the 10th place in K League 1 through the PO with the winner of the 4th and 5th place semi-PO.
