Cheonan City FC caught a ‘big fish’ and broke out of a winless streak. Cheonan, led by head coach Kim Tae-wan, won 1-0 against Suwon Samsung in the Hana Bank K League 2 2024 away match at Suwon World Cup Stadium on March 11. It was Cheonan’s first win in more than two months after their opening match against Bucheon FC on March 2 (3-1).
Cheonan is the ‘youngest club’ that joined the K League stage last year. It has had an up-and-down season. Last season, they finished in last place with only five wins. There was a tumultuous post-season coach change. Kim Tae-wan, who has a long history in the K-League, took over the reins and took on a new challenge.
Cheonan hit the jackpot in their first game of the season. They won 3-1 away to Bucheon. With the score tied at 1-1, they came from behind to score two late goals. 바카라사이트 The surge was short-lived. They lost their home opener to Chungbuk Cheongju 2-1 and didn’t win again for over two months. The team had fallen to the bottom of the standings. Cheonan made a comeback by catching a ‘big fish’ in a moment of crisis. They secured a 1-0 victory over Suwon, who are considered the ‘promotion favorites’ this season. Motta’s goal in the ninth minute of the second half was defended until the end. The victory was Cheonan’s second clean sheet of the season.
The win showed Cheonan’s potential.
The Suwon World Cup Stadium, where the match was played, is known as the ‘graveyard of the away team’. This is due to the one-sided support of Suwon fans. In fact, Suwon has been strong at home this season. They have only lost once so far. However, Cheonan managed to overcome the pressure and win at Suwon”s home.
The game was also tightened up. Prior to this game, Cheonan had conceded goals in all but one game (against Seongnam FC on March 16), and they had a very high rate of conceding early goals. On this day, however, the defense stopped all 22 of Suwon’s shots.
Cheonan has boasted a foreign attacking resource this season. Motta has already scored five goals in 10 league games. 토토사이트 순위 That’s up from 10 goals in 35 games last year. Paulinho has also scored three goals in six games. He will be even stronger when he returns from injury.
Cheonan will play Seoul Eland (15th), FC Anyang (19th), Busan I-Park (22nd), and Seongnam FC (26th). It remains to be seen if Cheonan can break out of the ‘goblin team’ and get back on track.
