"New Team" Paju Frontier FC coach Gerard Nuss (41) expressed his overwhelming feelings for two consecutive wins.

Paju won 2-0 with consecutive goals by Bonilla and Borja Baston in the fourth round of the "Hana Bank K League 2" home game against the Jeonnam Dragons at Paju Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 21st.

Paju, which won two consecutive games, ranked fifth with two wins and two losses (six points). South Jeolla Province, which has lost three consecutive games, fell to ninth place with one win and three losses (3 points).

Paju, which was pushed back by Jeonnam's offensive early in the game, changed the atmosphere by scoring the first goal in the 21st minute of the first half. Bonilla shook the net with a surprise mid-range shot in a mixed situation when the defender cleared the ball that was floated forward in a free kick situation.

In the second half, the atmosphere was somewhat passed on to Jeollanam-do, but he won the game with an additional goal in the 34th minute of the second half. In the penalty box, Lee Taek-geun was pushed down by Corinus and the referee immediately declared a penalty (PK). Borja Baston's shot to the center as a kicker shook the net. Borja Baston scored two consecutive goals in PK alone.

After the game, coach Nuss said at a press conference, "I congratulate all the team members including the players," adding, "There was a lot of effort after the victory, so we fully deserve the result."

Regarding the positive trend, such as the first goal at home, the first scoreless game, and the first consecutive win, he said, "The defeat against Suwon also determined the meaning of the process, but we did our best focusing on tactics in all games," adding, "I'm very happy with today's result because winning is very difficult."

Regarding the defensive plan that thoroughly tied Valdivia, the opponent's core, he explained, "The opponent is one of the best teams in the league," adding, "We prepared thoroughly in all lines of attack, defense, and midfield, focusing on long kicks."

Regarding the argument that came and went with waiting during the last-minute replacement process in the second half, he said, "There was a misunderstanding about the replacement out target," but added, "I feel grateful for the players who played well until the end in the game where there was no place to back down."

He cited "recovery" and "willingness to win" as measures to manage physical strength and prepare for Suwon FC's upcoming away trip. He said, "Recovering mental and physical strength is the top priority until the match against Suwon. We will begin the recovery process and analysis of the opponent tomorrow, he said. "What I want to emphasize above all is the will to win. It is most important to run toward victory with the team, staff, and front desk as well as the fans," he stressed.

"The injuries are fatal, but the players who are currently playing are doing their best to fill the gap," he said, adding, "We hope that all players will be able to perform 100% as soon as possible by helping the injured return quickly."
