‘There’s still hope for automatic promotion!’ Seoul Eland defeats leaders Anyang 1-0… with two games in hand

Seoul Eland FC has kept its hopes of automatic promotion alive.

Seoul Eland defeated FC Anyang 1-0 in the 32nd round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2024 at Mokdong Stadium on Thursday, thanks to Lee In-Jae’s 47th-minute goal. Second-placed Seoul Eland (14 wins, 6 draws, 9 losses, 48 points) narrowed the gap on leaders Anyang (54 points) to six points and revived their dream of 카지노사이트 추천 automatic promotion.

Seoul Eland took the initiative and pushed forward from the start and finally broke through in the 47th minute. Montaño sent in a sharp cross from the right side that Lee In-jae pounced on to head home. It was Lee’s first goal in four years since joining Seoul Eland in 2021 and his sixth league goal in about five years and four months since May 2019, when he was with Ansan.

Seoul Eland continued to press forward in the second half, but Anyang’s corner kicks were cleared off the line just before the end to secure a valuable three points.

Head coach Kim Do-gyun said, “I would like to thank the players and staff for their hard work, and they showed high concentration throughout. I’m happy as a coach because I think the players’ determination paid off. We will continue to focus on every game to narrow the gap and keep our hopes of direct promotion alive,” said Kim.

Seoul Eland, who are unbeaten in four matches (3 wins, 1 draw), will continue their promotion push in earnest with their first three-game winning streak of the season when they host Gimpo on Monday, March 30th.
