A fatal mistake occurred for Seoul. They conceded a goal. In the 9th minute of the second half, goalkeeper Kang Hyun-moo received a short pass from a teammate but lost the ball due to aggressive pressure while attempting to kick it. The ball was consolidated to Suwon FC's star striker Anderson, who calmly shot it into the net after taking a touch.
After the match, Seoul head coach Kim Gi-dong noted, “The match against Suwon FC was played at a crucial moment. I thought we prepared well and it seemed to be going smoothly. However, we created a difficult situation for ourselves by conceding a goal due to a mistake. It was a mistake that should not have happened. After conceding the goal, the players lost their energy,” he said, adding, “The player who made the mistake is likely thinking the same way right now. As a coach, I will help him find psychological stability.”
Kang Hyun-moo, met in the mixed zone, said, “I’m very sorry to my teammates for conceding a goal due to my mistake. I will prepare hard to ensure this doesn’t happen again. I will show a good performance in the next match.”
Recalling the moment of the mistake, he said, “I didn’t see (the opposing player coming in with pressure from the side). I felt very heartbroken and regretted it after conceding the goal.”
