K League 2 Suwon Samsung, which dreams of re-entering K League 1, won its first consecutive victory against the Jeonnam Dragons.



Suwon won 5-1 against Jeonnam in the sixth round of K League 2 2024 held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Sunday. Suwon, which had a 1-0 win over Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province in the fifth round earlier, continued its first consecutive win of the season on the day. With 12 points 4 wins and two losses, Suwon ranks second after FC Anyang 13 points, 4 wins and 1 draw. Jeonnam, whose record of "no loss" was recorded in four games, fell to third place with 9 points 3 wins and 2 losses.

Suwon, which was demoted to the K League 2 this season by ranking 12th, the lowest in the K League 1, is considered the top contender for the title in the second division. However, it managed to post three wins and two losses by scoring only one goal in all but one of the first round matches out of the previous one to five rounds. Coach Yeom Ki-hoon's pledge to promote his team to the Direct League without loss was overshadowed. However, he finally scored a large number of goals on the day, which gave him a breathtaking opportunity.



In particular, Kim Hyun, who was replaced by Mulic at the start of the second half, led the victory with two header goals. Kim Hyun, a newly recruited striker ahead of this season, scored a theater goal in the extra time of the second half in the fifth round against Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, on the 7th.



Suwon had good luck as soon as the game started. In the third minute of the first half, Tungara sprinted from above the halfway line, and a cross from the left side of the penalty area hit the opponent team's defender Yoo Ji-ha's body and went into the inside of the goal to score the first goal. However, in the fourth minute, the team faced a crisis. Park Tae-yong cut Suwon's pass and shot a ball from Noh Kun-woo in the penalty area to allow the tying goal.



Suwon started leading 2-1 in the 17th minute of the second half when Son's low-ball inside the penalty area shook the net. Son's first goal of the season. Then Kim Hyun took over Kazuki's free kick with a header in the 26th minute of the second half and scored an additional goal, and Lee Si-young shook the net again with a mid-range shot in the 35th minute of the second half. Just before the end of the game, Kim Hyun scored an additional header in a corner kick, completing Suwon's landslide victory.



Suwon manager Yeom Ki-hoon told reporters after the match, "I put a lot of pressure on the strikers, but they overcame the pressure well. They scored at an important moment and even scored a set piece goal. I think they instilled confidence in the players."



FC Anyang, the league's leading team, won 3-0 against Bucheon at Anyang Sports Complex on the day, continuing its unbeaten streak for the first five consecutive games, firmly maintaining its lead. Seongnam FC and Gimpo FC had draws with E-Land in Seoul and Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province, 2-2, and 0-0 respectively.
