It is positive that they continued their undefeated match against Gyeongnam FC, but what they caught up with again is something that needs to be resolved.
Chungnam Asan drew 2-2 with Gyeongnam in the 9th round of ‘Hanawon Q K League 2 2023’ held at Yi Sun-shin Sports Complex on the 23rd at 1:30 pm. With 12 points (3 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses), Chungnam Asan is in 7th place.
Gyeongnam is undefeated in the league메이저놀이터, but Chungnam Asan was confident. It was great to show the opponent’s overall advantage with 3 wins and 3 draws in the last 6 matches. Last season, they won 2 and drew 2. Gyeongnam showed strength by holding back their ankles to reach the playoffs. Even in Gyeongnam, which has become stronger and stronger than before, Chungnam Asan has high confidence. The first half seemed to be going as expected until Park Min-seo (Chungnam Asan) scored the opening goal with a fantastic wind-up shot.
A one-way flow continued. Gyeongnam was pushed by Chungnam Asan and was unable to develop a proper attack. The first half ended with Chungnam-Asan’s absolute advantage. At the start of the second half, Gyeongnam put Castro and Lee Kang-hee in and made it 1-1 with Castro’s goal in the first minute of the second half. Chungnam-Asan strengthened the attack by putting Song Seung-min and Duarte. Song Seung-min scored in the 13th minute of the second half to take the lead again.
It’s been a long time since 3 wins in a row, but just before the end, Park Min-seo (Gyeongnam) conceded a goal and ended 2-2. Even though they did not win, they continued their undefeated game against Gyeongnam. 7 matches, 3 wins and 4 draws. Coach Seol Gi-hyeon commented, “It was a very difficult game. I definitely felt that I was weak against Chungnam Asan. I drew a losing game. I am satisfied with one point.” He admitted that he was pushed and pushed by the momentum of Chungnam-Asan.
It is definitely encouraging that they scored points against an undefeated Gyeongnam team. However, it is a matter of looking back to catch up again and lose points. Even last season, Chungnam-Asan did not lose if they scored the first goal. This season is different. It’s the beginning of the season, and there are a lot of games that allowed pursuit. It started with a come-from-behind defeat against Sangmu in Gimcheon in the first round, and a theater defeat in the FA Cup against Jeonnam Dragons. In the game against Busan I-Park, they were ahead but tied 1-1.
It was the same today. I went ahead and was chased and eventually lost the victory point. It is the concentration of defense in the second half that is holding back Chungnam-Asan. If you want a higher place, you must improve. Director Park Dong-hyuk said about this issue, “The performance of leaders and seniors is important.” It remains to be seen whether he can show a different appearance in the upcoming Jeonnam expedition.
