Rising Gwangju FC will look to make it four straight league wins away from home in Daejeon.
Gwangju will host Daejeon Hana Citizen in the 18th round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on April 10.
It’s a storming start. Last round, Gwangju welcomed Suwon Samseong to their home turf, and despite conceding an early goal and suffocating defense from their opponents, the team pulled off a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory thanks to Thomas’ K League debut and a multi-goal performance.
Gwangju is now unbeaten in five matches (four wins and one draw), including the FA Cup, and has won three straight in the league. Next up is a promotion battle against Daejeon. Gwangju will be looking to extend their winning streak with a victory away to Daejeon and enter the A-Match break on a high note.
Gwangju attacked fiercely until the end of the last round. The best player of the match was ‘Brazilian finisher’ Thomas. Coming on as a substitute in the eighth minute of the second half, he not only gave the offense a big boost with his flashy dribbling and sharp key passes, but also scored multi-goals in the 23rd and 45th minutes to lead his team to victory.
The second line of attackers, including Asani and Lee Hee-gyun, also contributed to the team’s victory with their active movements and key passes. In addition, Doo Hyun-seok and Kim Han-gil also played well with their aggressive runs and sharp crosses.
Going into this matchup, they are in fifth place with seven wins, four draws, and six losses. They have a lot of talented players such as Joo Se-jong, Lee Hyun-sik, Lee Jin-hyun, and Gong Min-hyun, and foreign players such as Leandro, Thiago, Anton, and Masa.메이저사이트
The head-to-head record is also in favor of Gwangju with 9 wins, 9 draws, and 10 losses. However, in their last five games, Gwangju have been strong with two wins and three draws, most notably in the last game against Daejeon, where they battled to a draw after clinching the K League 2 title last season, thanks to a late injury-time goal from Lee Sang-ki.
Gwangju is confident of victory and is determined to attack the opponent’s goal with aggressive attacks and link-up play.
