A Decisive 2-0 Victory Over Bucheon FC 1995

Gimcheon Sangmu Professional Football Club (CEO Lee Jaeha) secured its first win of the season with a decisive 2-0 victory over Bucheon FC 1995 (hereafter Bucheon) in the 10th round away match of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2026', held at Bucheon Sports Complex at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 25.

Gimcheon Sangmu began the match by sending a long ball into the opponent's area immediately at the kickoff whistle in the first half.

In the 29th minute of the first half, the opening goal was scored. After an attack down the right flank, Lee Gunhee received a pass from Lee Sangheon and took a shot. Although the shot was slightly off-center, it skillfully slipped past the opposing defenders, and Kim Juchan, who was making a run, slotted the ball into the net.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Bucheon was reduced to ten men after a player was sent off due to an accumulation of yellow cards, giving Gimcheon a numerical advantage. In the ensuing free kick, the ball from Park Taejun's kick deflected backward, and Byun Junsu headed it into the net. With the victory secured, Gimcheon Sangmu brought on Yoon Jaeseok and Jeong Jaemin at the same time, finally clinching their long-awaited first win of the season.

Head coach Joo Seungjin said, "I want to express my gratitude for being able to give our patient fans this victory. After the win, I felt especially thankful to the players who worked so hard, and the players, in turn, comforted me, saying that they were the ones who endured the hardship. I am also grateful to our staff who supported us through difficult times. We have faced challenges in scoring goals, and as we desperately sought goals, we began to notice more details. Discussing and training on those details with the players seems to have made a difference. Once again, I want to thank our fans, players, and staff, and I will strive for further progress in the future."
