Suwon beat Yongin 1-0 in an away game in the fifth round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2026 at Mir Stadium in Yongin at 2 p.m. on the 28th.

With this, Suwon maintained its single lead by recording all five games (15 points). On the other hand, Yongin, a new team, fell into a swamp of no wins (two draws and three losses) for five consecutive games after the opening, postponing its first chance to win.

Yongin, the home team, played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. With Seok Hyun-jun at the one-top, Lee Seung-joon, Kim Han-seo, and Lee Jin-seop applied in the second term. Choi Young-joon and Shin Jin-ho defended the midfield, while Kim Min-woo, Kim Hyun-joon, Lim Chae-min and Kwak Yun-ho built a four-back line. Hwang Sung-min defended the goal. While Gabriel was excluded from the list due to knee inflammation, Lopez from Portugal's third division was on the bench list.

The away team Suwon fought 4-3-3. Kim Ji-hyun was placed at the forefront, and Bruno Silva and Pesin stood on both wings. Ko Seung-beom, Kim Min-woo and Park Hyun-bin were in the midfield. Lee Joon-jae, Ko Jong-hyun, Song Joo-hoon and Lee Kun-hee were in charge of the four-back, and Kim Min-joon wore goalkeeper gloves instead of Kim Joon-hong, who was assigned to the national team. In particular, he made a change by putting captain Hong Jung-ho on the bench and starting center back Ko Jong-hyun, who was born in 2006.

The game flowed to Suwon at the beginning of the game. Suwon's first goal was scored in the fourth minute of the first half. Pesin neatly finished with a header from Bruno Silva's elaborate cross to shake the net.

Yongin also launched a counterattack. In the 7th minute of the first half, Shin Jin-ho's sharp right-footed free kick headed toward the corner of the goal, but goalkeeper Kim Min-joon hit it with a diving save to overcome the crisis.

The competition between the two teams reached its peak midway through the first half. In the 20th minute of the first half, Suwon Lee Kun-hee and Yongin Shin Jin-ho collided, and the players of both teams tangled fiercely. The referee took out a yellow card for both players after the situation was settled. Since then, Yongin has struggled with Suwon's tight midfield gap and has only been a monotonous attack centered on long balls. The first half ended with Suwon leading 1-0.

A fierce battle continued in the second half. In the fifth minute of the second half, Yongin Shin Jin-ho was on the verge of Red Card, but the card was not given as a result of the on-field review. Yongin, which overcame the crisis, put in Kim Bo-seop, and Suwon added Jeong Ho-yeon to strengthen the midfield. Suwon's offensive continued in the 8th minute of the second half, with Park Hyun-bin's strong left-footed shot blocked by Yongin goalkeeper Hwang Sung-min.

Yongin replaced three players at the same time in the 16th minute of the second half, showing a winning move. Yoo Dong-gyu, Choi Chi-woong and Lopez stepped on the ground and Seok Hyun-jun, Lee Seung-jun and Shin Jin-ho entered the bench.

Suwon's offensive continued. In the 21st minute of the second half, Lee Joon-jae ran from the defensive area to the Yongin gate with a dribble breakthrough alone. He fell behind Yongin defender Kwak Yun-ho's body, but the game resumed as it was. Suwon added Hayes, Park Ji-won and Park Dae-won in the 27th minute of the second half and replaced Bruno Silva, Pesin and Lee Joon-jae.

Yongin failed to take advantage of a decisive opportunity. In the 28th minute of the second half, Yoo Dong-kyu encountered the goalkeeper one-on-one, but his right foot shot was blocked by Kim Min-joon. Suwon began to solidify in the 33rd minute of the second half by excluding central defender Ko Jong-hyun and adding Hong Jeong-ho.

Yongin made an all-out offensive for the equalizer until the end of the game, but failed to break through Suwon's solid defensive wall. In the end, Suwon kept Pesin's first goal to the end and collected three valuable points from the enemy.

With this victory, Suwon proved the perfect balance of offense and defense with nine points and one run in five games, showing off its prowess as the No. 1 candidate for promotion. On the other hand, Yongin achieved some results in stabilizing the defense, but failed to escape from the bottom by revealing a lack of detail in the attack.
