Jeonbuk Hyundai, led by head coach Kim Doo-hyun, beat Daegu FC 3-1 in the 37th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2024" held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Jeonbuk, which ended its four-game winless streak, has jumped from 11th to 10th. However, the possibility for automatic stay has completely disappeared. Daejeon, ranked ninth, won 2-1 over Incheon, the lowest ranking team.

"I'm glad that I was able to win a game where I really need to win. It must have been hard for the players to prepare for every day mentally," Jeonbuk coach Kim Doo-hyun, who scored three points in the last league game of this season, said after the game. "I'm grateful to the players who endured it very well. I also want to thank the fans for their enthusiastic support from behind."

Kim Tae-hwan and Han Kook-young Showed Their Veteran Sides

Kim Jin-gyu, Kwon Chang-hoon, and Lee Seung-woo, who scored three points, were at the center of Jeonbuk's success, but Kim Tae-hwan and Han Kook-young, who silently showed dedication and determination in the stadium, also stood out. One of the biggest problems of Jeonbuk in this season was its lack of resources to maintain the center of players in the stadium.

However, the showdown with Daegu was different this time. Veteran Kim Tae-hwan, who started first, clearly helped Daegu win by providing a sense of stability in the right defense. Kim Tae-hwan successfully blocked the combination of Hong Cheol and politicians, Daegu's strong side attack. In addition, he displayed a fantastic combination with Andro in the first half and Kwon Chang-hoon in the second half, showing off his offensives. Notably, the highlight of the match was the 44th minute of the second half when he assisted Lee Seung-woo in a counterattack.

His detailed game records were also impressive. Kim had 82 percent of accuracy in passing, the most successful 16 passes for offensive players in the team, one key pass, 14 forward passes, one successful ground race and four clearings, making both sides fly. While Kim Tae-hwan has silently assisted his team from the sidelines, another veteran midfielder Han Kook-young also responded to the request. With Nana Boateng, who has been on the upward trajectory recently, being excluded from the list due to cumulative punishment for warnings, Han along with Lee Young-jae helped the team secure the midfield and win.

Han Kook-young, who started and played on the field, showed an overwhelming class against the combination of Daegu's Lee Chan-dong and Hwang Jae-won's high-defensive midfield. When defending, he showed a pre-blocking of the opponent's attack, and when attacking, he freely moved between the side and the second line, acting as a lubricant for the midfield. In the 12th minute of the second half, he momentarily approached the opponent's penalty box and shot, showing a threatening appearance.

In the middle of the second half, he seemed a little tired from the opponent's foul, but Han Kook-young led the team to victory with a commitment until the end. At the time of Lee Seung-woo's second goal in the 44th minute of the second half, he was not directly involved in scoring, but succeeded in dispersing the Daegu defense through a momentary run in the counterattack situation.

Having displayed impressive performance, Hankook Young posted 91 percent of pass accuracy. He also performed well in the midfield, recording 100 percent success rate of passes from the attacking camp, 100 percent success rate of mid-range passes, 22 forward passes, 100 percent success rate of ground competition, one successful tackle, and nine balls.
