Daejeon striker Thiago is delighted after scoring the first goal in the 26th round of the K League 1 against FC Seoul.

It was the best match with seven goals in total. After a fierce battle, Daejeon, which used offensive soccer, won against strong Seoul and jumped to sixth place.

Daejeon Hana Citizen defeated FC Seoul 4-3 in the 26th round of the "Hana One Q K League 1 2023" home game held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 13th.

As a result, Daejeon scored 36 points, rising from 8th to 6th, and settled for the Final A entry. On the other hand, Seoul, which had no wins in four consecutive games, barely maintained its fourth-place position with 38 points.

It's a game with spears... Daejeon scores four goals against strong Seoul

Daejeon operated a 4-3-3 formation. With Kim In-kyun, Tiago, and Jeon Byeong-gwan in front, Ju Se-jong, Martha, and Kim Young-wook played midfield. Oh Jae-seok, Kim Hyun-woo, Anton, and Kang Yoon-sung defended the four-back, and Lee Chang-geun defended the goal. 스포츠토토

Seoul faced off with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kim Shin-jin was on the one-top and Willian-Palosevic-Na Sang-ho was on the second line. Ki Sung-yueng and Osmar in the midfield, Lee Tae-seok, Kim Joo-sung, Lee Han-beom and Park Soo-il in the defense, and Baek Jong-beom in the goalkeeper's gloves.

Seoul, which gradually increases its market share from the back and attacks, and the tactical concept of delivering the ball to the opponent's camp at a fast tempo clashed, developing into a thrilling flow.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Na Sang-ho's sensational backheel went off the net on Park Soo-il's right cross. Daejeon also beat Seoul's goal with shots from Kim Young-wook in the 10th minute and Jeon Byung-kwan in the 14th minute.

Daejeon opened the first door and beat it. Martha, who received a long pass from the back in the 31st minute of the first half, stabbed Thiago after touching. Thiago netted with a powerful left-footed shot from inside the box. With the momentum, Daejeon added one more goal. In the 39th minute of the first half, Tiago scored a penalty kick earned by tripping over Kim Joo-sung with a kicker in the 41st minute.

Seoul, trailing 0-2, recovered a goal in the 44th minute of the first half. Willian's shot, which narrowed from the left side of the box to the center, hit the defense and went into the net with a refraction. The first half ended with a 2-1 lead by Daejeon.

Seoul made a drastic change at the beginning of the second half. Na Sang-ho and Ki Sung-yueng, who are the main pillars of Seoul, were boldly called in, and Lee Si-young and Han Seung-kyu were put in. In the 16th minute of the second half, Daejeon also put Yoo Kang-hyun, Bae Joon-ho, and Shin Sang-eun at once instead of Martha, Kim In-kyun, and Tiago.

In the end, the aspect of the second half was divided between the two teams' replacement cards. Daejeon, which maintained a counterattack after a player's defense with one goal ahead, did not miss the opportunity to score in the 41st minute of the second half. Bae Joon-ho, who was substituted, scored an additional goal with a left-footed shot following a one-two pass with Yoo Kang-hyun inside the penalty box.

Seoul also rarely gave up. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Seoul also narrowed the score gap to one goal with Joker Han Seung-kyu's powerful right-footed shot.

However, Daejeon excited home fans by breaking goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom with a right-footed shot by Kang Yoon-sung, who came in as a substitute two minutes later. Seoul pressed Daejeon to the end. Han Seung-kyu got a penalty kick in the extra time of the second half. Ilyuchenko's Schmil, who played as a kicker, was blocked by goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun, but he pushed it in again to make the score 4-3. There was no time to add a goal. In the end, Daejeon was the one who laughed in the slugfest.

Daejeon manager Lee Min-sung is making a splash of the promoted team in the K League 1 this season.

'Promoted team sensation' Daejeon dreams of more than remaining

It has been a sensation since the beginning of this season after successfully promoting the team last season. The victory over Ulsan (2-1 win) on April 16 and Jeonbuk (2-1 win) on April 26 was by no means a coincidence. Daejeon manager Lee Min-sung created a sensation with his attack-oriented soccer, which raises the line and uses strong pressure. It broke the stereotype of the promotion team that it would only be consistent with defensive football.

However, as summer entered, Daejeon's upward trend was dampened. Daejeon, which had won six consecutive games (5 draws and 1 loss), won the match against Daegu on the 22nd of last month and won three points for the first time in a long time, but lost 0-3 to the promotion team Gwangju in the first game of the second half, which resumed after the break.

For Daejeon, the 26th round match against Seoul was a turning point. Coincidentally, he had an advantage with one win and one draw in two matches against Seoul, which has maintained the top spot this season.

In the match, Daejeon also put the strong city of Seoul to rest. In the front, Tiago and Bae Joon-ho, the leading figure in the semifinals of the U-20 World Cup, led the attack. In particular, coach Lee Min-sung's mercenary tactics stood out in the second half. Bae Joon-ho (1 goal), Yoo Kang-hyun (1 assist), and Kang Yoon-sung (1 goal), who were substituted, scored attack points at an important moment.

With seven games left until the final round, Daejeon has risen to sixth place, allowing it to develop its dream of Final A beyond remaining in the league.
