Lee Ki-je's free kick gave Suwon Samsung a dramatic come-from-behind victory.
Suwon won 2-1 in the 15th round of Hana Bank K League 2 2025 away match against Seongnam FC held at Tancheon Stadium at 7 p.m. on Memorial Day on the 6th. Suwon, led by Paulino's first goal in the 8th minute of the first half, allowed a penalty kick to Huiz in the 37th minute of the first half to tie the score. In the extra time of the second half, Lee Ki-je scored a free kick and achieved a dramatic 2-1 come-from-behind victory.
Entering the mixed zone with an ice pack on one of his legs, Lee looked very bright. Despite leading the game with his goal, he credited Paulino and his teammates for getting the free kick. "I don't think it's just me, Paulino got the free kick and I think the players did it all together. We all scored together to win."
Suwon is considered a strong candidate for promotion along with Incheon United this season. The atmosphere is hanging over the team that it can advance this time. "Honestly, it is a little bit of a burden. I'm not trying to think much," he said, expressing his feelings ahead of the showdown with Incheon. "I think there is something more comfortable in my mind than in Incheon because we are in a position to follow." "If we prepare well every week, we will be able to continue to win," he said.
Suwon has the most goals scored by scoring more goals than Incheon, the top scorer. It has 32 goals through 15 matches. It is ahead of Incheon, which has 29 goals in 14 matches. "I think my offense in the second half has significantly improved compared to the past. I'm trying to fulfill this because the coach told me to play defense aggressively and to go out aggressively," Lee said.
When asked if he was physically burdened, he replied, "I'm recovering well. I have a game every week, so I don't think I have that big of a problem physically."
Regarding his role as the oldest and the oldest member of the team, he said, "I am trying to be close to younger players as if I were friends. I am trying to be on my own. Even younger players seem to be playing around and getting along well. I am getting along well with them."
In addition to crossing Incheon, there are many things we need to get promoted. One of them is the "mentality" that head coach Byun Sung-hwan talked about. Lee Ki-je cited "detail" as a factor that Suwon should have for promotion. "I think we have a lot of turnovers in the offensive situation. If it becomes more detailed, I think it will bother the opponent more, and I think there will be more chances."
In K League 1, he struggled in the middle and lower ranks, but in K League 2, he is Suwon. Lee Ki-je said, "I think the players have improved for sure. Many high-quality players came and their performance improved a lot. In the second half, it's fun to play and it's fun to share goals with each other, and it's fun to tease each other constantly," adding, "I'm enjoying playing soccer thanks to the good atmosphere and performance." 스포츠토토
In addition to this year's promotion, Lee is targeting double-digit attack points. "As I mentioned during the winter season, I want to do 10 attack points, but I think I need to work harder," Lee said with a smile.
