[이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] FC Anyang started the season refreshingly after defeating Gyeongnam FC in the opening game of the K-League 2 (Second Division) in the 2021 season.
Anyang beat Gyeongnam 2-1 thanks to the successive goals of Dongwoon Shim and Seongwoong Maeng of the’Transfer Student Duo’ in the HanawonQ K League 2 round 1 2021 away game held at the Changwon Football Center on the 27th.
After finishing at ninth place last season, Anyang again entrusted the baton to manager Lee Woo-hyung of the’Invited Command Tower’ after 5 years and achieved a pleasant victory over the inferiority of objective power. On the other hand, Gyeongnam, who had missed the opportunity for promotion last season, was caught by Anyang even with’first division’ players such as Lee Jeong-hyup, Willian, and Baekseong-dong.
Anyang shook Gyeongnam’s defense with a counterattack using fast speed from the beginning of the first half. Gyeongnam was ahead of the ball share, but Anyang had more of a decisive chance.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Anyang shook the net with a powerful right-footed shot. Shim Dong-woon, who has been active in the K-League 1 (first division) for nine seasons, starting with Jeonnam Dragons in 2012 and last season to Pohang Steelers, became the main character of the No. 1 goal in K League 2 this year.
Anyang scored an extra goal in the second minute counterattack situation. As Seung-Woon Ha’s cross digging through the right flank flows backwards, Seong-woong Maeng opened the goal wide with a right foot shot.
Gyeongnam’s counterattack was also difficult. In the second half of the 26th minute, Baekseong-dong’s shot was deflected by Anyang defender Kim Hyeong-jin and was sucked into the goal, making up for one goal.
Anyang missed the penalty kick that Shim Dong-woon directly got in the 31st minute of the second half, and could not save the opportunity to run away. However, for the rest of the time, the defensive wall was thickened and Gyeongnam’s offensive was prevented and he scored 3 valuable points.
