The first "Yeongoji Derby" in Anyang. Boos and war of nerves coexisted, and the contents and atmosphere of the game were hot.
FC Anyang and FC Seoul tied 1-1 at the 12th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at Anyang Sports Complex on Sunday. Anyang (16 points) ranked seventh with its first draw of the season. Seoul (14 points), which ended its three-game losing streak, remained flat at ninth place.
It is the first "Yeongoji Derby" held in Anyang. Anyang is a civic club created by Anyang LG, the predecessor of Seoul, after moving from Anyang to Seoul. Founded on February 2, 2013, he won the K League 2 last year and was promoted to the first division of his dream. Seoul won both the 2017 FA Cup (currently the Korea Cup) and the first face-off of the season in February. Anyang has yet to win the derby in its hometown.
That is how much interest he gained. Anyang Sports Complex sold out in early days. The away seats were also full. "Weren't they giving away too many (away) seats? If there were more, it would have taken more time to sell out," Kim Ki-dong, the head coach of the Seoul National University, joked.
In the meantime, he drew a line on his rivalry with Anyang. "I think it's just one game," Kim said. I'm not sure what kind of rival you're talking about, but I haven't thought so. It's a game that we have to win at a time when we have to win," he said, apparently not very conscious of the history of Anyang and its hometown.
On the contrary, Anyang coach Yoo said, "Seoul has visited Anyang for the first time in 21 years, and we welcome you," but stressed, "We prepared well with the players to keep our promise to win at least at home. I want to prove the fans' anger and emotions with the results."
The match was tense amid a strange temperature difference. Both teams' cheering seats heated up. Even before the game, "Yayu" came and went and sang the team's cheering song. There were also nerve games everywhere on the ground. Early in the first half, Anyang Chae Hyun-woo and Seoul Jung Seung-won had a nerve war after the competition. In the second half, after Anyang Mateus and Choi Jun collided, Seoul's Kim Jin-soo had a nerve war with Mateus again.
Anyang manager Yoo Byung-hoon seemed to get a penalty kick when Eduardo induced Choi Jun's foul at a corner kick in the 32nd minute. However, the referee declared a no-foul penalty after VAR. Anyang manager Yoo Byung-hoon strongly protested the decision and received a warning. However, some Seoul fans shouted "Exit."
When Anyang got ahead with Mateus' first goal in the sixth minute of the second half, the Seoul cheering section got cold. However, when Moon Sun-min scored an equalizer in the 35th minute of the second half, the team was heated up again. The two teams that exchanged attacks afterwards finished the game without additional goals. 먹튀검증
After the match, the Seoul and Anyang teams greeted their fans first, and booed each other. "I was disappointed in the result, but I played without wavering. I think I was able to gain a little more strength thanks to the fans. I did not live up to 100 percent of the fans' emotions and expectations, but I will do my best in the remaining matches (with Seoul)," coach Yoo said.
"Both teams had a strong desire to win. We tried our best not to lose in a one-on-one match," Kim said. "The audience will have fun only when this kind of atmosphere comes to the K-League. It was good to see them getting closer without being excluded from the competition."
The second "Yeongoji Derby" this season ended with a draw, and the third face-off will be held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 8th.
