The unique hot game management worked. Head coach Lee Jung-hyo revealed the secret to winning his debut match at Suwon Samsung.

Suwon came from behind to beat Seoul E-Land 2-1 in the first round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2026 at 4:30 p.m. on the 28th at Suwon World Cup Stadium. He was taken away by allowing the first run in the 19th minute of the game, but he collected three points thanks to Park Hyun-bin's equalizer in the 41st minute of the first half and Kang Hyun-mook's come-from-behind goal in the 29th minute of the second half.

Manager Lee Jung-hyo raised his victory in Suwon's first game and the opening game of the K League 2, increasing his opponent's record with head coach Kim Do-kyun to all seven games. In addition, 2,4071 official spectators entered the Big Bird on the same day, breaking the record for the largest number of spectators in a single game in 10 years since the launch of the K League 2 in 2013.

Coach Lee Jung-hyo said in a post-match press conference, "I played in front of many home fans. "I think it's positive to turn the tables after losing points," he said. "There are still insufficient things, but the players' attitudes seem to have improved a lot. I want to say congratulations to the players. The fact that it was dragged 0-1 and turned around 2-1 is proof that Suwon is changing," he said.

Coach Lee Jung-hyo then said, "We are continuing to improve. There were good moments and bad moments in today's game, he said. "I think I've grown up through the game against E-Land. It was a good victory."

Suwon balanced with Park Hyun-bin's goal in the 41st minute of the first half, which was helped by Ilyuchenko, but it was difficult because no additional goal was scored until the middle of the second half.

The result was 27 minutes into the second half. Coach Lee Jung-hyo threw an unconventional game to replace four players at the same time, including Kang Hyun-mook, Park Ji-won, Lee Joon-jae, and Kim Ji-hyun, and Kang Hyun-mook scored the winning goal in two minutes.

Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "At first, I thought about replacing three players, but I pushed during the game. "I even added Lee Joon-jae because of Park Dae-won's muscle problems," he said. "I wanted to raise my energy level and decided after discussing opinions with analysis coaches."

Suwon started the game with difficulty by giving up the first header goal to E-Land Park Jae-yong in the 19th minute of the first half.

When Park Hyun-bin's equalizer broke out in the 41st minute, coach Lee Jung-hyo called the players together and made a gesture that seemed to burst their anger with a loud voice. Regarding the situation at the time, coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "I think the players were in a hurry in the process of attacking after losing a point. "I wanted to play the game as I practiced, but I think I was angry because it didn't work out," he recalled.

In particular, coach Lee Jung-hyo expected rookie Kim Sung-joo, who was born in 2006, even before the game. Kim Sung-joo started as an attacking midfielder and walked around the ground before being replaced in the second half. "I'm looking forward to the future. I have a lot of things. Manager Lee Jung-hyo said, "He is a rare type of player in the K-League. All regions of midfield and up to number nine can be seen. He expressed his expectation, saying, "My potential hasn't exploded yet, but I'll try to grow it more."

When asked about the burden in front of the largest crowd ever, coach Lee Jung-hyo's answer came back. Coach Lee Jung-hyo said, "Before the game, Kim Jun-hong asked, 'Are you nervous?' I've scored seven goals in front of more than 60,000 Saudi spectators," he said with a smile, adding, "If there are a lot of fans, I get excited and energized. It is more fun to receive support than pressure. I'm just thinking about entertaining the fans who come to see us a lot," he stressed.
