The coaches of both teams, who met before the game, sighed first.

It was due to the recent trend. Gimpo FC had no win in three matches. The team seemed to be on the right track by defeating the "K-League 1 powerhouse" Pohang Steelers in the Korea Cup, but failed to win again. The city was even more dismal. It failed to win three points in 11 consecutive matches. With only one win this season, Cheonan had a 3-3 draw with Incheon United, the strongest team, at the 14th round.

"Our performance is not bad. We are good at defense. The problem is attack. Foreign strikers focus on solo play rather than cooperation. I feel anxious as a coach. When a goal doesn't hit, it breaks down at the end," said Kim Tae-wan, manager of Cheonan. "The biggest problem is my lack of confidence. I think I can play against any other team, but I have a confidence gap in both scores and lost points. I tend to sit down after conceding a goal. On the other hand, I know it is very difficult to score a goal, so I feel sorry that I can't catch the flow."

They had different reasons, but the result was the same. It was the first goal. Both Koh and Kim said, "If you eat first, you lose." "If we concede the first goal, we will lose more than 95 percent. However, if we don't lose in the first half, we have an 80-90 percent chance of winning," Koh said. "We should score a goal first. If we lose a point first, we have to deal with a team that is down defensively, but if we do, we will have a hard time."

It was as expected by the coaches of both teams. In the end, the direction of the first goal sealed the victory or defeat. Gimpo won 1-0 against Cheonan in the 15th round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2025 held at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium on Sunday. It was the first and final goal at the 18th minute of the first half. Yoon Jae-woon penetrated into the box and entered the team. The ball that flowed after hitting the defense spilled over Lewis. Lewis attempted a powerful left-footed shot, which hit goalie Park Joo-won and crossed the goal line.

After the first goal, the team's weight leans towards Gimpo. Cheonan had difficulty even creating a shot opportunity. Cheonan displayed a winning move by deploying Lee Jeong-hyeop, who scored multiple goals in the match against Incheon in the second half. However, having scored only nine goals this season, poor performance was not enough to penetrate Gimpo's defense. Notably, Kim Dong-min, who was hired on loan from Incheon, displayed stable performance, beyond belief that it was his debut match. Chapman, who returned on the day after being sent off for inappropriate behavior against Seoul E-Land, also showed good performance. 토토사이트

Thanks to the victory, Gimpo achieved its fourth win (four draws and seven losses) of this season, moving up to 10th place with 16 points. On the other hand, Cheonan's winless matches increased to 12 matches. The team was also at the bottom of the standings.
