They have finally escaped the swamp of draws that they could not break through. Kim Cheon (SVP) has secured their first win of the season.

On the 25th, Gimcheon defeated BucheonFC 2-0 in an away match at Bucheon Stadium in the 10th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026. This was a thrilling first victory achieved after as many as 10 matches. With this result, Gimcheon moved up to 9th place in the league with a record of 1 win, 7 draws, and 2 losses (10 points). Meanwhile, Bucheon sits in 10th place with 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses (10 points).

There was no lack of pressure from the accumulating draws instead of victories. However, before the match, Joo Seung-jin, Gimcheon's head coach, said, "It would be a lie to say there was no pressure. But if I, as the team leader, expressed that, the players might become discouraged. I will make sure the players can fight with all their might."

Gimcheon lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. Lee Geon-hee and Lee Sang-heon started as the twin strikers, with Kim Ju-chan, Park Tae-jun, Lee Soobin, and Ko Jae-hyun in midfield. Park Cheol-woo, Lee Jeong-taek, Byun Jun-su, and Kim Tae-hwan formed the back four. Baek Jong-beom was the goalkeeper.

Bucheon countered with a 3-4-3 formation. Gallego, Gabriel, and Kim Min-jun started as the front three. Tiaginho and Shin Jae-won operated on the flanks, while Yoon Bit-garam and Kim Sang-jun controlled the midfield. The back three consisted of Hong Seong-wook, Lee Sang-hyeok, and Jung Ho-jin, with Kim Hyun-yeop guarding the goal.

Bucheon had Vasini, who had returned from injury, on the bench preparing for his comeback match.

However, it was Gimcheon who took the lead. The hero was striker Kim Ju-chan. In the 30th minute of the first half, with the opposing defense densely packed inside the penalty area, Lee Geon-hee passed the ball, and Kim Ju-chan did not miss the opportunity, striking it powerfully to shake the net.

This goal was also Kim Ju-chan's first of the season, coming just four matches into the league.

Gimcheon had a chance in stoppage time of the first half when Kim Tae-hwan unleashed a cannon-like left-footed mid-range shot, but it struck the crossbar, leaving them with regret.

Bucheon, trailing 0-1 at halftime, intensified their attack from the start of the second half. In the 10th minute of the second half, they simultaneously brought on Vasini and Kazu. As soon as Vasini stepped onto the pitch, he took an aggressive shot, though it did not result in a goal.

However, in the 35th minute of the second half, Bucheon's forward Gallego committed a violent act by grabbing an opponent's neck during a defensive play. After video review, the referee showed Gallego a second yellow card. Ultimately, Gallego was sent off with a red card. Gimcheon immediately capitalized on the free-kick situation, with Byun Jun-su scoring a decisive header.

Bucheon lost its momentum to chase the game. In the end, Gimcheon secured three points away from home.
