"I hope he gets back up and moves on."

SuwonFC manager Park Geon-ha (55) offered support to Koo Bon-cheol (27), who committed a fatal mistake.

SuwonFC drew 1-1 in an away match against Hwaseong FC in the 11th round of the 2026 Hana Bank K League 2, held at Hwaseong Sports Complex on the 9th. It was a fortunate result for SuwonFC. Trailing 0-2, they were awarded a crucial penalty kick in the 44th minute of the second half, and Freezo calmly scored the equalizer. As a result, fourth-place SuwonFC recorded 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses (18 points).

The goal-scoring scene was not good. In the 30th minute of the first half, while passing the ball in the penalty box area, Koo Bon-cheol, who was in front of the goal, made a trapping error. Hwaseong midfielder Park Jae-seong did not miss the opportunity and kicked the ball into the net. Koo Bon-cheol fell to the ground, blaming himself for his error. However, the manager offered support rather than reprimand.

After the match, manager Park Geon-ha said, "The team's overall performance was not good. We conceded a goal due to the opponent's tactical play. We will discuss this with the coaching staff when we return." He added, "Koo Bon-cheol made a mistake that led to a goal, and I hope he gets back up and moves on from this. The positive aspect is that the players did not give up and fought until the end to earn one point. I am praising the players for that."

Regarding the defensive errors that occurred later, he said, "We will review the video and analyze it," adding, "Addressing this is my task."

Ha Jeong-woo, the "2005-born striker" who has been active as the team's superstar this year, continued his consistent performance. Although he did not score, he threatened the opponent's goal with six shots. The penalty kick equalizer also stemmed from Ha Jeong-woo's shot. Ha Jeong-woo's mid-range shot hit the goalkeeper and rebounded, and then Jung Seung-bae attacked again, colliding with the opposing defense. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Freezo, who took the kick, scored the equalizer.

Manager Park Geon-ha said, "The opponent dropped their line and set up a compact defense. Both our attacking line and Ha Jeong-woo struggled. However, it is positive that Ha Jeong-woo's shot led to a penalty kick goal. He must have experienced overcoming a compact defense himself," and praised him.
