The fierce back-and-forth battle ended in a draw. SuwonFC and SeongnamFC failed to open each other's goal, splitting one point each.

SuwonFC and Seongnam recorded a 0-0 draw in the Hana Bank K-League 2 2026 Round 13 match held at Suwon Sports Complex at 7 p.m. on the 30th.

With this result, home team SuwonFC maintained sixth place in the league with six wins, four draws, three losses, and 22 points. Having failed to win in their last two matches (one draw, one loss), SuwonFC could not build a foundation to chase the top spots, leaving them with regret.

Away team Seongnam also had to settle for eighth place in the league with three wins, seven draws, three losses, and 16 points. Seongnam was unable to break its poor run of four consecutive matches without a win (three draws, one loss).

Home team SuwonFC deployed Ha Jeong-woo as the lone striker, with Willian, Freizo, and Choi Ki-yoon positioned in the second line. Koo Bon-cheol and Han Chan-hee guarded the midfield from the third line, while Seo Jae-min, Lee Ji-sol, Lee Hyun-yong, and Lee Si-young formed a back four defensive line. Goalkeeper Yang Han-bin guarded the goal.

In response, away team Seongnam set up Bileiro and Kim Min-jae as a striking duo. The midfield lineup included Lee Jun-sang, Ryu Jun-seon, Freitas, and Lee Jeong-bin, while Jeong Seung-yong, Benicio, Lee Sang-min, and Yoo Ju-an formed the back four. Goalkeeper Jeong Myeong-jeong wore the gloves.

From the early stages of the first half, both teams engaged in intense battles. Both SuwonFC and Seongnam did not shy away from rough physical confrontations, maintaining a tight flow that did not easily concede space to their opponents.

Amidst the tense balance, SuwonFC opened the scoring first. In the 30th minute of the first half, Ha Jeong-woo attempted a sharp right-footed mid-range shot, but it narrowly missed to the right of the goal, leaving him with regret.

Seongnam's counterattacks were no less formidable. After the midway point of the first half, Seongnam created several dangerous opportunities that sent shivers down SuwonFC's spines, but they were blocked by goalkeeper Yang Han-bin's impressive saves. The two teams ended the first half in a 0-0 stalemate.

Immediately after the second half began, both team commanders brought on substitute cards. SuwonFC replaced Ha Jeong-woo with Mateus Baby to add weight to their attack, while Seongnam brought on Hwang Seok-gi for Lee Jun-sang to create changes on the flanks. In the 13th minute of the second half, SuwonFC replaced Willian with Jeong Seung-bae to tighten their defense.

In the 19th minute of the second half, it seemed as though away team Seongnam finally scored the opening goal. Kim Min-jae, who rushed into the box following a cross from Bileiro, pushed the ball in with his body, shaking SuwonFC's goal net.

However, Seongnam's joy was short-lived. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review declared an offside offense committed by Bileiro during the one-two pass, ultimately disqualifying Kim Min-jae's goal.

Following this, in the 20th minute of the second half, Seongnam simultaneously introduced main squad players Yoon Min-ho and Angelotti, who had been waiting on the bench, to make a decisive move.

As Seongnam's attack intensified following the substitutions, SuwonFC also sought a turnaround by replacing Han Chan-hee with Lee Jae-won in the 23rd minute of the second half to create changes in the midfield.

The fierce battle between the two teams continued until the final moments of the second half. In the 40th minute of the second half, Seongnam's goalkeeper barely deflected a decisive shot by SuwonFC's Jeong Seung-bae, and a chaotic situation arose where the loose ball was connected to another shot, but Seongnam's defenders leaped into the fray with their bodies to block the danger and overcome the crisis.

Although four minutes of added time were given, neither team could capitalize on the final opportunity, and the match ultimately ended in a 0-0 draw without any additional goals.
