Professional soccer K League 2's Suwon Samsung failed to close in on the top spot.

Under head coach Lee Jeong-hyo, Suwon suffered a shocking 1-2 defeat in an away match against Ansan Greeners at Ansan Wa~ Stadium on the 11th during Round 16 of the Hana Bank K League 2 2026 season.

As a result, second-place Suwon's two-game winning streak came to an end. Their season record now stands at 10 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, accumulating 32 points.

Currently, top-ranked Busan IPark holds 33 points and has played one fewer match than Suwon. If Busan wins their home match against Gimpo FC on the 12th, the gap between the two teams will widen further.

On the other hand, Ansan, who defeated Suwon, escaped a six-game losing slump. Sitting in 15th place, Ansan recorded 4 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses for 14 points, laying the groundwork to escape the lower standings.

Suwon started strong. They took the lead in the 31st minute of the first half with a goal by Kang Sung-jin. Kang did not miss the rebound after the goalkeeper parried the ball from the right side of the goal and pushed it into the net.

However, Suwon's defensive concentration wavered in the second half. Ansan demonstrated high finishing ability, converting even their limited chances into goals.

Ansan recorded their first valid shot only in stoppage time of the first half, but equalized in the 18th minute of the second half with a goal by Lama. Lama sprinted toward a long ball from the goalkeeper. During this play, the ball slipped behind Suwon's goalkeeper Kim Jun-hong, and Lama, maintaining his focus until the end, fell while shooting to score the equalizer.

Ansan changed the momentum and overturned the match in the 38th minute of the second half. The protagonist was veteran signee Kim In-seong. From the left side of the penalty box, Kim unleashed a spectacular curling shot with his left foot to score the go-ahead winning goal.

The 1989-born veteran striker Kim In-seong left his former team Pohang Steelers last month and joined Ansan. Although he had limited playing time at Pohang this year, he immediately made a strong impression after moving to Ansan.

Thereafter, Suwon tried hard to equalize but failed to achieve the desired result. In stoppage time of the second half, Suwon striker Ilyuchenko missed a scoring opportunity and swallowed his disappointment.

For Suwon, this was a painful defeat. On this day, Ansan converted all three of their total shots into valid shots, with two resulting in goals.

In contrast, Suwon recorded 32 total shots and 7 valid shots but could not celebrate.

Meanwhile, Daegu FC defeated Seongnam FC 3-2 thanks to a winning goal by Dan Lei in the 44th minute of the second half.

Paju Frontiers also secured a 2-1 victory in an away match against Hwaseong FC. Foreign striker Borja Baston scored the winning goal in the 31st minute of the second half. The match between Yongin FC and Chungbuk Cheongju ended in a 1-1 draw.
