Gangwon used a 4-4-2 formation. Lee Jeong-hyeop and Park Sang-hyuk led the attack as two top players, while Kim Dae-won, Seo Min-woo, Alibayev, and Yoo In-su formed the midfield.

Yoon Seok-young, Kim Young-bin, Kang Tu-ji, and Hwang Moon-ki appeared as the back four, and Lee Gwang-yeon wore the goalkeeper gloves.

Similar to the first game, the game was tight. Gangwon took the lead, but was unable to break through Gimpo's defense.

On the other hand, Gimpo's counterattack did not develop sharply either.

As coach Go Jeong-woon's wish was to not concede a goal in the first half, Gimpo ended the first half with a score of 0-0.

But they collapsed in the second half. Six minutes into the second half, the first goal was conceded to Gabriel.

Jo Seong-kwon balanced the score in the 14th minute of the second half, but the joy did not last long.

In the 25th minute of the second half, Lewis hit Gabriel in the face with his elbow.

The referee gave Lewis a direct red card after checking the video review (VAR).

Gimpo was unable to overcome its numerical inferiority.

In the 31st minute of the second half, Gabriel scored an additional goal, giving them the lead again.

Seven minutes of extra time were given in the second half, but Kimpo was unable to score. In the end, Gimpo lost 1-2 and bowed their heads.

After the game, Coach Go Jeong-woon said, "What I told the players is that there is no point in losing.

If we try to fulfill our current goals while playing games like this, we will do well next year as well.

While playing a big game, I think the players will do well. “

I think it was an experience for me,” he said in his overall review of the game.

Lewis' sending off had a huge impact on the game. However, coach Ko Jeong-woon protected Lewis. Coach Go Jeong-woon said, "It wasn't intentional.

When I heard the story, it was said that it happened when he fell.

That's not the type of personality the player had. This affected the game, but I think our players should take note of that in the future."

Finally, coach Go Jeong-woon promised next season with the fans, saying,
"When I first took office, only one person came and cheered,

but now the fans come to support us passionately.

There are many young fans, so the future is bright."

[Coach Goh Jeong-woon's press conference after the promotion/relegation playoff game] I don't think there was anything I said to the

players

about 'losing well but fighting well'.

If we play games like this and try to fill our current goals well, I think we will do well next year as well.

I think playing in a big game gave the players experience.

Lewis was sent off, but

it wasn't intentional. When I heard the story, it was said that it happened when I fell. He is not a player with that kind of personality.

Although this affected the game, I think our players should take note of it in the future.

I didn't say anything to the players after the game . He just touched his face. Although there were many shortcomings this year,

I would like to say thank you to the players who came this far despite being scolded a lot by the coach.

This is not the end. There will be a stage like this again next year, so I hope we don’t have to experience this kind of pain next year.

I'm probably thinking about planning for next season, but

I think my head still hurts. A lot of things happened personally this season. I think I will organize the players that need to be organized starting tomorrow, and the players that will go together will go together. I think the mayor will provide more support because he sees the potential of Gimpo.

What score would you like to give this season?

I would like to give it 80 points. We need to improve on 20 points and move forward next year. All players fought well.

The three defenders, Cho Seong-kwon, Park Gyeong-rok, and Kim Tae-han, played well, and although Lewis had an accident today, he did a good job in front.

I think players like Kim Lee-seop and Choi Jae-hoon have made it this far because they are very active and do well in what the coach wants in an organized manner.

When I first took office, only one person came and cheered me on, but now fans come and cheer me on passionately. The future is bright with many young fans.
