K-League 2 Suwon’s promotion challenge next week… 2-2 draw away to Daegu

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = Suwon Samsung, a 'famous team' that fell to professional soccer K-League 2, continues its challenge for promotion to K-League 1 next week.

Suwon, led by coach Lee Jeong-hyo, led by two points in the away game in the 31st round of K League 2 2026 held at Daegu iM Bank Park on the 31st, but gave up consecutive goals in the last minute to draw 2-2 with Daegu FC.

In the previous game held at Yongin Mir Stadium, Seoul E-Land lost 2-4 to Yongin FC, so Suwon could have secured at least second place by defeating Daegu and confirmed promotion for the first time in three years, but it failed to achieve its goal.

1st place Suwon (63 points) with 3 games left, 2nd place Seoul E-Land (54 points), and 3rd place Suwon FC (54 points) with 4 games left are competing for the championship title with 1st and 2nd place giving a 'direct promotion' ticket.

Suwon, which is still ahead of the other two clubs by a large gap, will challenge for promotion once again in the 32nd round at home against Yongin FC on November 8.

Suwon's winning streak was cut off at 7 games, but their undefeated streak was extended to 13 games (9 wins, 4 draws).

The 7 consecutive wins is a new record for the Suwon club's longest winning streak in the regular league, set in 19 years.

Daegu maintained 4th place (53 points).

Daegu, trying to capitalize on the possibility of direct promotion, played a dominant game with Seraphim at the forefront.

However, Seraphim was unable to score, as his right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty arc in the 39th minute of the first half missed the right side of the goal.

In the 47th minute of the first half, when Daegu had a 13-1 lead in shots, Suwon scored the first goal with their second shot.

Kang Hyun-mook trapped Kim Min-woo's cross from the left, calmly beat the goalkeeper, and then struck the goal with a right-footed shot.

Suwon went one step further with Kim Joo-chan's goal in the 28th minute of the second half.

Kim Joo-chan, who came on as a substitute in the 25th minute of the second half, received a pass from Lee Sang-min three minutes later and hit the net with a right-footed shot from in front of the penalty area to make it 2-0.

Daegu overturned Suwon's promotion banquet.

In the 31st minute of the second half, Kim Kang-seon received a header pass from Ryu Jae-moon and scored a chasing goal.

And Sejingya, the ‘King of Daegu’, came forward to solve the problem in the 37th minute of the second half.

Sejinha, who drew a foul while breaking through and was awarded a free kick in the penalty area, tied the score with a right-footed shot that crossed the defensive wall and hit the right side of the goal.

Suwon, who launched a wave of attacks, was no longer able to open Daegu's goal.

Coach Lee Jeong-hyo was unable to sit on the bench due to accumulated warnings and watched the game from the stands.
