Gimcheon Sangmu ended their winning streak.

According to Gimcheon Sangmu Professional Football Club on the 6th, the team ended its winning streak with a 1-1 draw in the 21st round of the ‘Hana Bank K League 1 2024’ match against Incheon held at the Incheon Football Stadium the previous afternoon.

Gimcheon Sangmu, who had taken the lead in the first half, ended up giving up an equalizer in the second half and was unable to secure the victory.

Gimcheon Sangmu, aiming for their fourth consecutive win, started with a 4-3-3 starting lineup.

Kim Dong-heon made his first start and guarded the goal.

Baekpo was built by Park Dae-won, Kim Min-deok, Park Seung-wook, and Park Su-il.

Kim Bong-soo, Seo Min-woo, and Lee Dong-gyeong were selected as starters for the midfield, while Kim Dae-won and Mo Jae-hyeon, along with U22’s Park Sang-hyeok, were selected as starters for the attack.

Gimcheon Sangmu’s keywords in the first half were forward pressure and infinite switching.

They either lost the ball during an attack or immediately pressured the opponent during Incheon’s rear build-up.

The opponent’s means of advancement were limited to long passes. On the other hand, when starting an attack and in the opponent’s camp, several players changed positions, causing confusion in Incheon’s defense.

Kimcheon Sangmu quickly gained momentum early on.

In the 4th minute of the first half, near Incheon’s penalty arc, Lee Dong-gyeong passed the ball to Mo Jae-hyeon on the right.

Mo Jae-hyun fired a low and strong shot without delay.

Although it unfortunately hit the goal post, this shot definitely set the mood.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Park Dae-won sent a cross from the left side.

Park Soo-il rushed in and hit the ball with his body, but it went wide of the goal.

Gimcheon Sangmu, who had been pushing Incheon hard, faced a crisis of conceding a goal in the 29th minute of the first half due to Mugosa’s header, but avoided conceding a goal thanks to Kim Dong-heon’s super save.

After a crisis comes opportunity.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Seo Min-woo cut off Incheon’s attack and passed the ball to Mo Jae-hyun, who was penetrating the ball.

Mo Jae-hyun, who received the ball, crossed accurately to Park Sang-hyeok in front of the goal, and Park Sang-hyeok finished it with a header, successfully scoring the first goal for the second consecutive game.

Gimcheon Sangmu presented a new tactic by replacing Lee Dong-gyeong with Yoo Kang-hyeon and using a two-top system at the start of the second half.

They created an opportunity with an organic passing play utilizing two attackers.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Kim Bong-su took a surprise shot, but the ball went straight to the goalkeeper.

Then, in the 60th minute of the second half, Mo Jae-hyun was replaced with Choi Ki-yoon, and in the 67th minute of the second half, Park Sang-hyeok and Park Dae-won were replaced with Chu Sang-hoon and Jo Hyeon-taek, attempting a change.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, after a brief lull, Gimcheon Sangmu created an opportunity with a counterattack and a shot by Sang-Hoon Cho, but unfortunately it did not lead to a goal.

Behind every opportunity there is a crisis.

In the 75th minute of the second half, the ball was stolen at the halfway line and a counterattack was allowed.

They avoided conceding a goal, but once they had an opening, Incheon started to counterattack and ended up giving up the equalizer.

After allowing the equalizer, Gimcheon Sangmu showed their will to win until the end and scored a goal for Incheon, but a foul was called and the game ended in a draw.

After the match, coach Jeong Jeong-yong expressed his regret, saying, “Today’s match itself was difficult. We wanted to score a goal in the first half and get a result in the second half, but we couldn’t. Although the match ended in a draw, I would like to thank the fans who came from far away to cheer us on, and I would also like to tell the players that they worked hard. We will use today’s experience to win the next home game.”

Meanwhile, Gimcheon Sangmu will play a home game against Suwon FC at Gimcheon Stadium on the 9th.
