Jeonnam Dragons failed to cross Suwon Samsung's wall in the enemy territory and lost two consecutive games. In the second half, the overall offensive player was also blocked by Suwon's systematic defense and goalkeeper's defense.

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

After the game, Jeonnam coach Park Dong-hyuk said, "I had a strong desire to win in front of many fans. "If we brought the results against the strongest team in K League 2, we could have motivated, but the game didn't work out as we wanted," he said, adding, "Two invisible mistakes led to a loss. If you play against a strong team, you have to fight without backing down, but you lost the fight as you kept trying to get off. He expressed regret, saying, "I showed weak performance against the strong team again today."

Coach Park Dong-hyuk then said, "I think there is a problem not only with me but also with the team for the second consecutive loss. I think we need an in-depth meeting," he said.

After the end of half-time, Jeollanam-do, which had no goals despite its general offensive by putting Hanam instead of Honan, and Kim Kyung-joon and Jung Kang-min at the end of the second half, faced tasks in both offense and defense.

Jeollanam-do, which failed to continue its strong performance in the opening match (4-1 win against Gyeongnam FC), failed to win points once again following the away match of Daegu FC (2-4 loss).

Valdivia, who has scored one goal and three assists in the past two games, remained silent without an offensive point due to strong checks from its opponent against Suwon.

After a series of losses, head coach Park Dong-hyuk said, "If you face a strong team, you have to fight without backing down," adding, "Both Daegu and Suwon had to be active early in the second half. But I kept trying to get off. We lost a fight with the strong team. Both the squad and I have to get through it. We have to pay him back in the second round at home," he vowed.

Jeonnam fought back with Valdivia's volley shot early in the first half, but was dragged away by Jeong Ho-yeon in the 36th minute. Coach Park Dong-hyuk threw a game-winner to put in Kim Joo-yeop at the start of the second half and switch from four-back to three-back, but collapsed in the 26th minute of the second half, allowing Hayes an additional run. It was also painful that even Kang Shin-myung's decisive header shot in the 38th minute was blocked by Suwon's goalkeeper Kim Jun-hong.

At the end of the game, Jeonnam Noh Dong-gun was sent off for a strong tackle attempt on Suwon Kim Min-woo. Coach Park Dong-hyuk said, "I was sent off while doing my best to encourage Noh Dong-gun, who was heading to the locker room. I didn't want to see him cringe or die. I wanted to express that it's okay," he added.
