Suwon formed a midfield with Han Seok-jong and Ko Seung-beom in place of Kazuki, who was sent off in the 36th round match against Suwon FC, and Lee Jong-seong, who had accumulated warnings.
Han Seok-jong, who was out of the lineup due to injury, played for the first time in six months since the game against Incheon United on June 11.
Suwon was led by acting head coach Ki-hoon Yeom, and Gangwon was led by head coach Jeong Gyeong-ho in place of coach Yoon Jeong-hwan, who could not sit on the bench due to accumulated warnings.
Gangwon, which was playing the game dominantly with an attack on the right flank, had a decisive opportunity in the 33rd minute of the first half.
Yoo In-soo, who was running towards the goal from a cross passed by Hwang Moon-gi from the right, did not hit the ball with his left foot, so he fell and finished with another right-footed shot, which hit the goal post.
Suwon, who had been continuously falling behind, sought change by using four replacement cards in the early part of the second half. Tall striker Mulic was brought in, and veteran midfielder Kim Bo-kyung replaced Han Seok-jong.
However, Gangwon's goal rarely opened.
In the 27th minute of the second half, Mulic volleyed with his right foot on Basani's cross from the right, but the shot missed the goal.
In the extra time of the second half, Suwon's relegation was confirmed as Kim Bo-kyung's cross followed by An Byeong-jun's header missed the goal.
