Chungnam Asan FC's top-tier prospect Park Si-hu (19) proved the potential of a supernova striker by scoring the opening goal against Suwon Samsung, one of the strongest teams in K League 2.

Chungnam Asan secured a 2-1 victory over Suwon Samsung in their home match at Asan Ilsin Sports Complex on the 30th in the 13th round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2026.

After the appointment of coach Lee Jeong-hyo, Chungnam Asan, which managed to defeat the formidable Suwon, a strong championship contender, recorded 5 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses (19 points), securing 8th place. Meanwhile, Suwon, which was eager to advance, was held back by the top-tier Chungnam Asan and failed to close the gap on the league-leading Busan IPark.

Although Suwon was initially favored based on objective strength and reputation, Chungnam Asan had Park Si-hu, who won the 2025 Futures Star Award Star Award. Park Si-hu joined the club last July as the first semi-pro contract player in the club's history, drawing high expectations. Since his debut season, Park Si-hu has stood out with his speed-based breakthroughs and bold line-breaking plays, and in his second year this season, he is showcasing even sharper attacking power.

Starting the match and roaming the front line, Park Si-hu exploded with a wonder goal in the 8th minute of the second half, breaking the deadlock in a tightly contested 0-0 game. Receiving a pass from Denison inside the box, Park Si-hu scored the opening goal with a skillful right-footed curling shot aimed at the lower right corner of the goal, slipping through Suwon's solid defensive wall. It was a perfect trajectory that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance.

True to his pledge at the time of winning the Star Award to become a player like Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton & Hove Albion), Park Si-hu demonstrated his bold dribbling that does not shrink in one-on-one situations and his precise shooting ability.

With momentum gained from Park Si-hu's opening goal, Chungnam Asan added another goal in the 13th minute of the second half to completely seize control of the match. Eungo broke through the right flank and delivered a low, fast cutback into the box, and Denison, who rushed toward the goal, shook the net with a diving left-footed sliding shot, extending the lead by two goals.

Suwon, launching a counterattack, suffered bad luck in the 16th minute of the second half when Ilyuchenko's shot hit the crossbar, but managed to score a consolation goal in the 36th minute. Heise finished off a cross from the right flank by Lee Geon-hee with a high-header to narrow the gap. However, despite Suwon's relentless attacks on Chungnam Asan's goal until the final moments in search of an equalizer, Chungnam Asan held on for a 2-1 victory, relying on goalkeeper Shin Song-hoon's brilliant saves and the diligent forward pressing and defensive contributions from Park Si-hu and the rest of the attacking line.

Park Si-hu, who has quickly grown into a key attacker for Chungnam Asan immediately after stepping onto the professional stage as a semi-pro player, has taken a step closer to his goal of leading the team to promotion.
