Kim Do-gyun (49), head coach of Seoul E-Land, praised his student Park Jae-yong (26), who scored his first career 10th goal.

Seoul E-Land secured a 2-1 victory over Daegu in the 27th round of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2026' held at Mokdong Stadium on the afternoon of the 19th.

The hard-fought battle for six points resulted in both teams swapping positions. Seoul E-Land, with 48 points (14 wins, 6 draws, 6 losses), moved up to third place by overtaking Daegu. Although tied on points with second-place Suwon FC, they trailed in goal difference. Meanwhile, Daegu's six-game unbeaten streak (4 wins, 2 draws) ended, dropping them to fourth place with 46 points (13 wins, 7 draws, 6 losses).

Seoul E-Land took the lead in the 28th minute of the first half with Jo Jun-hyun's professional debut goal but conceded an equalizer from Dekes in the 41st minute. The hero was Park Jae-yong. In the sixth minute of the second half, with the score tied at 1-1, Park scored the winning goal and his first 10th goal of the season, securing the victory.

After the match, Coach Kim Do-gyun began at the press conference: "It was a really tough game, but I am grateful that the players gave their all until the end to secure three crucial points." He continued, "From a coach's perspective, there are areas for improvement, but at this stage of the season, gaining three points is most important. We have laid the foundation to prepare for the remaining six games ahead of the two-week break."

Regarding achieving 100 career K League victories with the win over Cheongju in Chungbuk, he calmly replied: "I do not place great significance on reaching 100 wins itself. I am happier that we won today's match, and it is a result achieved by all players together."

Speaking about Park Jae-yong, who scored the winning goal and his 10th goal of the season, he said: "Reaching double-digit goals is something to celebrate. As the team's top scorer, I am grateful for his devoted efforts. If he can score more in the remaining games, we may be able to secure promotion to a higher position."

He also highly praised the team for withstanding Daegu's relentless offensive surge in the final moments of the second half. Coach Kim Do-gyun stated: "I want to praise the players who successfully blocked the opponent's long balls and crossing attacks without conceding any goals. In particular, goalkeeper Min Seong-jun has shown stable form since the second half of the season and is becoming a great asset to the team."

When asked about areas for improvement during the upcoming two-week break, he cited 'strengthening offensive power.' Coach Kim Do-gyun remarked: "We are behind top-tier teams like Suwon FC and Daegu in terms of goal difference, which could become a major variable at the end of the season. We will focus on improving our scoring ability and prepare well for the remaining period so that substitute attackers can show better performances."
