This is a successful effort to halt the solo run of Busan IPark, the top of K League 2. Suwon Samsung secured a dramatic victory with a last-minute penalty kick winner just before the final whistle.

Suwon defeated Busan IPark 3-2 in the Hana Bank K League 2 2026 Round 9 showdown held at 2 p.m. on the 25th at Suwon World Cup Stadium.

With this result, Busan finished its eight-game unbeaten streak since the season opener with 7 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, and 22 points. Second-place Suwon also recorded 7 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, and 22 points, but finished second due to fewer goals scored.

The home team Suwon deployed a 4-4-2 formation. Iluchenko and Heise led the front line, while Kim Do-yeon and Kang Hyun-mook operated on both wings. The midfield was handled by Go Seung-beom and Jung Ho-yeon. The defensive back four consisted of Lee Geon-hee, Hong Jeong-ho, Go Jong-hyun, and Kim Min-woo. Goalkeeper Kim Jun-hong guarded the net.

The visiting team Busan made changes by bringing on Xavier and Christian. Kim Se-hoon, Kim Min-hyeok, Lee Dong-soo, and Park Hye-sung formed the midfield, while Jeon Seong-jin, Kim Hee-seung, Jang Ho-ik, and Woo Seong built the defensive line. Goalkeeper Jang Kap wore the gloves.

The match unfolded with Suwon controlling the tempo and Busan responding. In the 20th minute of the first half, Kim Do-yeon faced the goalkeeper in a one-on-one opportunity but was stopped by a save from Jang Sang-min. In the 24th minute, a surprise long-range shot by defender Go Jong-hyun struck the goalpost, sending shivers through Busan.

Pressing hard, Suwon scored the opening goal in the 33rd minute of the first half. Kim Do-yeon drew a penalty kick during an aerial duel and stepped up as the direct kicker, shooting past the goalkeeper's timing to score his professional debut goal.

Buoyed by momentum, Suwon added another goal in the 11th minute of the second half. Following a header by Go Jong-hyun from a set piece, Kang Hyun-mook connected with a powerful right-footed shot to shake the net.

With a heavy sense of defeat, Busan launched a counterattack by bringing on Gabriel and Baek Ga-on at the start of the second half. In the 27th minute of the second half, Busan executed a set-piece tactic to break down Suwon's flank, and Kim Hee-seung, who surged into the box, scored an equalizer with a header.

Gaining momentum, Busan finally leveled the score in the 30th minute of the second half. Suwon goalkeeper Kim Jun-hong, attempting to handle a cross from Woo Seong, made a fatal error, and the ball slipped from his hands and rolled directly into the goal.

Suwon brought on Lee Jun-jae in the final stages of the match to seek a comeback, while Busan inserted Kim Jin-hyeok to solidify its defense and manage the points. Until the final moments, Suwon attempted bold shots near Busan's penalty area to target the goal.

In the 6th minute of stoppage time in the second half, the referee conducted an on-field review. After a review lasting about four minutes, referee Kim Hee-gon declared, "Penalty kick for Busan No. 5 (Woo Seong) for handball."

Heise, who stepped up as the kicker, split the far corner of Busan's left goal with a right-footed shot. In the 14th minute of stoppage time in the second half, Suwon took a one-goal lead.

Busan appeared to level the score again in the 16th minute of stoppage time in the second half when Jang Ho-ik scored with a header to shake Suwon's net. However, the goal was disallowed due to a final offside call.

The match ended without any further goals. Busan's unbeaten streak came to an end after eight games.
