"It was a mistake that should not have happened."

FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong expressed great disappointment. He also mentioned that he would console the player who is likely feeling guilt.

On the 24th, Seoul played a match against Suwon FC at Seoul World Cup Stadium in the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 Round 15, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

With this result, Seoul recorded 4 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses, maintaining 19 points and 7th place. Suwon FC remained in 10th place with 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses, totaling 15 points.

Seoul extended its home record against Suwon FC to 7 wins and 2 draws, continuing the "undefeated at home" streak.

The opening goal was scored by Seoul. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Lucas leaped to score with a header after receiving a cross from Choi Jun on the right side. This marked Lucas's second league goal after he scored the winning goal against Anyang on Feb. 22 (Seoul won 2-1), about 3 months ago.

A critical mistake occurred for Seoul. They conceded a goal. In the 9th minute of the second half, Seoul goalkeeper Kang Hyun-moo received a short pass from a teammate, but while trying to handle the kick, he was pressured and lost the ball. The ball was connected to Suwon FC's star striker Anderson. After making one touch, he calmly shot and found the back of the net.

After the match, coach Kim Ki-dong noted, "The match against Suwon FC was played at an important juncture. I thought we were well prepared and were going well. 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 the goal was conceded, the players lost their momentum. We haven't yet discussed why that happened. I regret that we couldn't push with more driving force."

Still, Lucas scoring after 3 months is likely a positive factor for Seoul. Coach Kim Ki-dong said, "I felt that once Lucas scored, we would easily win today. But then a mistake happened. Honestly, I never expected it."

He added, "Mistakes can happen in football. However, such mistakes should not occur as a player. It is not a mistake in buildup. I believe it occurred because he was too relaxed in a control situation. The player who made the mistake is likely thinking the same way now. As a coach, I will help him find psychological stability."

Regarding Duk's full-time performance, he commented, "It is not perfect, but it has improved significantly since the beginning."
