Professional soccer K League 2 Anyang catches leader Gimcheon and jumps from 5th to 2nd place

FC Anyang jumped from fifth to second place in the professional soccer K League 2 after catching leader Gimcheon Sangmu.

Anyang won 2-0 at home against Gimcheon in the 24th round of the Hana OneQ K League 2 2023 at Anyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province on Nov. 31.

With 11 wins, five draws, six losses, and 38 points, Anyang jumped from fifth place to second place before the game.

Third-ranked Gyeongnam FC and fourth-ranked Busan I-Park also have 38 points, but the order of finish is reversed with Anyang, Gyeongnam, and Busan scoring 38, 37, and 30 goals, respectively.

Gimcheon, which was looking for its third straight win, fell short of Anyang, but remains on top with 42 points (13 wins, three draws and six losses).

After a 0-0 first half, the two teams heated up the stadium early in the second half, creating crucial chances.

In the third minute of the second half, Anyang’s Bruno had a shot on goal that was ruled offside, and in the sixth minute of the second half, Gimcheon’s Lee Jun-seok’s mid-range shot hit the post.

In the end, Anyang took a 1-0 lead on a header by Kim Hyung-jin in the 15th minute and added a second in the 22nd minute with a right-footed shot from inside the penalty area.

Gimcheon’s Cho Young-wook, who would have set a new K League 2 record for most consecutive games with a goal in a match with his eighth consecutive goal, was unable to find the back of the net.

He took a free kick directly in front of the penalty area as stoppage time was winding down, but was unable to capitalize on his last chance as the ball floated away. 먹튀검증
