Suwon Samsung, under coach Lee Jung-hyo, has won three consecutive games, igniting competition to lead the K League 2. During the Gwangju FC period, both the participants scored their debut goals in Suwon to complete the victory.

Suwon beat the Jeonnam Dragons 2-0 in the third round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2026 home game at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 14th.

As a result, Suwon won all three games since the opening, showing off its top status as a candidate for promotion. Jeonnam, which has a strong offense, beat Gyeongnam FC (4-1 win) in the opening game, but lost in Suwon following Daegu FC's away match (2-4 loss) and lost for the second consecutive time.

The home team, Suwon, operated a 4-3-3 formation. Bruno Silva, Kim Ji-hyun and Hayes stood in front, while Kim Sung-joo, Jung Ho-yeon and Kim Min-woo defended their backs. Park Dae-won, Song Joo-hoon, Hong Jung-ho and Lee Kun-hee formed a four-back line, and Kim Joon-hong wore goalie gloves.

The away team Jeonnam set Valdivia and Honan as two-top players and deployed Jeong Ji-yong, Le Bon, Jung Tae-in and Choi Han-sol in the midfield. Kim Seung-myung, Noh Dong-gun, Hong Seok-hyun and Kim Yong-hwan were in charge of defense, and Choi Bong-jin defended the goal.

Early in the game, the two teams engaged in a careful search. The first shot came in the 29th minute of the first half. Suwon's Kim Ji-hyun's turning shot opened the door by being held in the goalkeeper's arms. South Jeolla Province also launched a counterattack. In the 31st minute, Valdivia attempted a bold right-footed mid-range volley shot, but it did not gain strength and headed straight to Kim Jun-hong.

It was Jeong Ho-yeon who broke the balance. In the 36th minute, Jung Ho-yeon, who received an accurate pass handed by left-side defender Park Dae-won, fired a powerful right-footed mid-range shot from the front of the arc. The low and fast ball hit the right post and shook the net as it was. At the end of the first half, Kim Min-woo and Jung Tae-in collided during an aerial ball competition, and the players of both teams had a rough war of nerves.

Suwon strengthened its midfield by putting in Ko Seung-beom, who returned to his old team at the start of the second half. Jeonnam also added Kim Joo-yeop instead of Le Bon and tried to change its tactics from the existing four-back to the three-back and threw a game plan.

Later, Jeonnam put Hanam in the 16th minute of the second half without Honan, and Suwon added Park Ji-won and Park Hyun-bin instead of Jeong Ho-yeon and Bruno Silva in the 20th minute of the second half to reinforce their mobility.

Suwon scored an additional goal in the 26th minute of the second half when the fierce midfield battle continued. In a corner kick situation, Hayes connected Kim Min-woo's cross with an accurate header and went to the goal. It is Hayes' debut goal in Suwon's uniform this season.

In the 31st minute, Suwon put Ko Jong-hyun without central defender Song Ju-hoon. In the 36th minute, Lee Joon-jae took the ground instead of Park Dae-won.

Jeonnam's decisive opportunity was blocked by the goalkeeper's good defense. In the 38th minute, Kang Shin-myung's header from a corner kick was blown away by Kim Jun-hong.

Just before the end of the game, Labor Gun in Jeollanam-do received a red card as a result of VAR.

Suwon, which had a two-goal lead, stably blocked Jeonnam's general offensive the rest of the time and pocketed three valuable points on its home turf. Jeonnam sought a comeback goal, but fell to their knees without breaking through Suwon's organized defense.
