Gyeongnam FC succeeded in reversing the atmosphere by defeating Chungnam Asan FC with the goal of professional debut by defender Lee Chan-wook, born in 2003. Gyeongnam defeated Asan 1-0 in the Hana One Q K League 2 2023 round 29 away game held at Asan Yi Sun-shin Sports Complex on the 29th. Gyeongnam, who fell into a slump with 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 8 games, jumped into the lead fight again with this victory.
Gyeongnam started the game with a 4-4-2 formation. Won Ki-jong and Lee Jong-eon stood at the forefront, Park Min-seo (77), Lee Kwang-jin, Song Hong-min, and Seol Hyun-jin formed the midfield, and Lee Min-ki, Park Jae-hwan, Lee Chan-wook, and Woo Joo-seong formed the four-back. The goalkeeper was Go Dong-min. Gyeongnam made a strong decision to exclude all foreign players from the starting list.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Gyeongnam’s Lee Kwang-jin delivered an accurate cross from a right corner kick. Lee Chan-wook connected with a header shot, the ball bounced and the opposing goalkeeper couldn’t block it, leading to a goal.
The team’s youth, Gyeongnam FC U18 Jinju High School graduate Lee Chan-wook (joined in 2022) scored his professional debut goal. In addition, Lee Kwang-jin, who assisted Lee Chan-wook’s goal, recorded 16 assists in Gyeongnam FC’s total, setting a record for the most assists in the club. Gyeongnam, which finished the first half with a score of 1-0, changed Min-Seo Park (21) at the start of the second half, replaced Chan-Wook Lee with Kang-Hee Lee in the 12th minute, and replaced Kwang-Jin Lee and Hyun-Jin Seol with Castro and Jae-Hyun Mo in the 26th minute.
In the 38th minute of the second half, Won Gi-jong was called in and Glayson was put in to harass the Asan defense. In defense, goalkeeper Ko Dong-min and the defense team worked well together and blocked Asan’s attack without conceding a goal. Gyeongnam, who gained 3 points from the victory on the day, was in 3rd place with 12 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses (45 points). The ride with Kim Cheon, who placed first, was narrowed to 6 points. The day before, Gimcheon was caught by 2nd place Busan, and the top ranks fell into confusion. With 9 to 10 games remaining for each team, the difference between 1st place Gimcheon and 4th place Bucheon is only 6 points, and 1st place and 6th place Gimpo are only 9 points apart.
Lee Chan-wook, who scored the winning goal, said, “I had a strong feeling that I had to do well after a long time, but I am happy that I even scored a goal. I am grateful to the director for giving me the opportunity. Kwang-jin really liked his brother’s cross. It was a situation that I shouldn’t have missed, but I focused on it, so I went in.” Coach Seol Ki-hyeon said, “The result of the match was important, but the players were able to do their best to win even in difficult situations.” I am satisfied with the win,” he said.
Meanwhile, Gyeongnam will play a home game against Jeonnam at the Changwon Soccer Center on September 17 after a 30-round league break and a match A break.
