Will transfer student Joo Min-kyu be able to deliver the news of the goal against his home.
Daejeon Hana Citizen, which had a complete victory in the opening game, will meet Ulsan HD, the defending champion who was defeated by the promotion team. Daejeon, which ended its natural enemy relationship by winning against the Pohang Steelers, the champion of the Korea Cup, for the first time in 15 years last year, is committed to continuing its upward trend by overpowering the defending champion. On the other hand, Ulsan, which became the winner of FC Anyang's K League 1 debut game, aims to change the atmosphere against Daejeon.
Daejeon, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, will play a home game against Ulsan in the second round of the 2025 Hana Bank K League 1 at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 23rd. Daejeon, which was the lowest in the first division of the 2015 season, fell to the second division, and returned to the K League 1 for the first time in eight years after seven years, the longest period since the introduction of the promotion system in the K League. Daejeon has recorded two consecutive wins in the opening of the K League 2 in the 2019 season since it was divided into the first and second divisions. Daejeon's opening two consecutive wins before the promotion system was introduced has been long enough to go back to 2001.
The key to victory lies in Joo Min-gyu's performance, who showed his killer instinct. Daejeon led the opening game with the first goal scored by Choi Geon-ju at the 31st minute in the first half, but was forced to attack Pohang. However, Joo scored an additional goal with a header at the 41st minute in the second half and scored a wedge goal three minutes later, resulting in a complete victory. As Joo Min-gyu, who started the game late last season, scored multiple goals from the opening game, Daejeon brought about the mood, and Joo Min-gyu also shook off the burden of transfer. Attention is focusing on whether such Joo Min-gyu will be able to score a goal against his former team.
Ulsan, led by head coach Kim Pan-gon, has more than a few concerns. Although it is the defending champion, it lost face after being hit by FC Anyang, which had been playing in the K League 2 since the opening game. Ulsan hit as many as 15 shots but failed to set the net for Anyang. Ulsan had lost in the opening game for the first time in seven years after losing four consecutive games in 2018. As Joo Min-gyu was absent, the player responsible for scoring has disappeared. Ulsan is the defending champion, but it struggled in the match. Daejeon had one win, draw and loss against Ulsan in the 2023 season, and had one win and one loss in the 2024 season. 메이저놀이터
