Valdivia’s momentum soars. Two goals, two assists. The Jeonnam Dragons’ offense was maximized.
Jeonnam defeated the Ansan Greeners 5-2 in their home match of the 22nd round of the Hana OneQ K League 2 2023 at Gwangyang Stadium on the 19th. Valdivia is the key for Jeonnam. They are giving her free rolls.
He has nine goals and five assists until the previous game. Before the game, Jeonnam head coach Lee Jang-jang said, “Valdivia is not only attacking, but also participating in proper defense,” adding that she is “very exemplary in life and training.” Ansan, on the other hand, has lost eight straight matches.
Recently, Jeonnam has been using a 4-1-4-1 formation. It omits passes from the midfield and focuses on Hanam’s competition with long passes, which leads to Valdivia’s goal-scoring ability.
It was a similar formula on this day. Jeonnam’s forward long pass to Valdivia. He passes it back to Plana. A subtle left-footed curler from the edge of the box hit the left goal post and went straight into the back of the net.
In the 7th minute of the first half, Jeonnam took the lead. However, Jeonnam’s defense had its ups and downs. Eventually, they conceded the equalizer in the 18th minute. Before the game, Coach Lee said, “Defensive mistakes lead to goals. That’s what we need to be most careful about.”
However, Jeonnam’s offense remained strong. Mikic made an exquisite through ball on a counterattack. Choi Sung-jin fired a powerful left-footed shot from a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
It bounced off the keeper but rattled the net as Hanam rushed forward. Lull in the action. 42nd minute. Valdivia wins a free kick with an individual effort.
Valdivia sent in a powerful cross, and Go Tae-won headed it in with only a slight change of direction. It was Jeonnam’s third goal, and it was a crucial one.
Jeonnam has a strong offense, but there are holes in their defense. The one-goal lead was very unsettling.
However, making it 3-1 at halftime set the tone perfectly. Plana had two assists in the first half alone.
The second half was more of the same for Jeonnam. Trailing by two goals, Ansan couldn’t improve their defense.
In the 22nd minute, Hanam went off with an injury, but two minutes later, Valdivia scored a powerful goal from the front of the penalty box that the goalkeeper couldn’t react to.
Another goal in second-half injury time. The class itself was different. It wasn’t just Valdivia who stood out for Jeonnam, but also their long strikers Hanam and Choi Sung-jin.
In addition, right-back Asnawi’s flanking runs were potent. Valdivia was the key, but the attacking routes were varied, creating a virtuous cycle that made Jeonnam’s attack more potent.
Meanwhile, in the match between Seongnam and Gyeongnam at Tancheon Sports Complex, Seongnam’s Cho Sung-wook scored the first goal in the 26th minute, but Gyeongnam’s Gleison equalized in the 17th minute of the second half to draw 1-1.
Gleison scored his 11th goal, tying him with Valdavia for the most goals in the tournament. Gimcheon Commerce also won 3-2 against Asan, Chungnam, thanks to consecutive goals from Cho Young-wook, Lee Joon-seok, and Kang Hyun-mook in the back, with Kim Kang-guk and Ji Eon-hak leading the charge. 토토사이트
