Petrov (28, Serbia), a foreign striker for Hwaseong FC of K League 2, has been selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Round 13 in K League 2.

The Korea Professional Football League announced on the 27th that Petrov was chosen as the Round 13 MVP following quantitative and qualitative evaluations by the Technical Research Group (TSG) under the league's Technical Committee.

Earlier, on the 23rd, Petrov scored a brace in the Round 13 K League 2 away match against Cheongju at Cheongju Comprehensive Stadium, playing a key role in his team's 3-2 comeback victory.

Petrov, who was substituted in during the 11th minute of the second half, scored the equalizing goal in the 35th minute when his team was trailing 1-2, and then scored a dramatic game-winning goal in a corner kick situation just before the end of the match, making a remarkable performance.

Petrov is a key striker who has taken responsibility for leading the front line of Hwaseong under coach Choo Doo-ri this season, appearing in 11 matches and scoring 7 goals, placing him joint top scorer in K League 1 alongside Suwon FC's Freejo.

The match against Cheongju, which ended in a thrilling comeback victory for Hwaseong, was also selected as the Best Match of K League 2.

At that time, Hwaseong conceded the opening goal to Jung Jin-woo in the 27th minute of the first half, but equalized with a goal by Flana. However, they lost the lead after conceding an additional goal to Seo Jae-won in the 9th minute of the second half. Petrov's consecutive goals then secured a valuable victory.

Daegu FC was selected as the Best Team. On the 24th, Daegu secured a 3-0 complete victory over Ansan Greeners at Daegu Bank PARK, with consecutive goals from Kim Kang-san, Choi Kang-min, and Park Ki-hyun, extending their winning streak to two games.

The K League 2 Round 13 Best 11 includes strikers Petrov, Ilyuchenko (Suwon Samsung), and Danlei (Gyeongnam FC), midfielders Choi Kang-min, Demetrius (Hwaseong), Park Chang-hwan, and Eulher (all Seoul E-Land), defenders Kim Kang-san, Choi Jun-young (Gimhae FC), and Lu Kang (Gyeongnam), and goalkeeper Choi Pil-su (Gimhae).

While K League 1 is approaching the break for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, K League 2 will proceed through Round 14 this weekend and Round 15 early next month before entering the break.
