Seoul Nowon United suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the K3 promotion decider.
Nowon, led by Lee Jung-jae, lost 1-3 to Pocheon in the 2024 K3 K4 Promotion Decider at the Pocheon Sports Complex on Monday to remain in the K4 League. Neowon, who finished third in this year’s K4 League and advanced to the promotion decider, battled to a 1-1 tie against the 15th-ranked Pocheon in the K3 League until the final minute of the second half, but conceded back-to-back goals just before the end of the game to fail to fulfill their 사설 토토사이트 promotion dream.
Lee Dong-gun played well, but it wasn’t enough to win the game. After surprising the Pocheon goalkeeper with a sharp shot in the 35th minute, Lee Dong-gun rattled the net with a sensational shot in the 45th minute after receiving a pass from Lee Yoo-bi.
However, more goals were needed to secure promotion. Nowon continued to attack, but was denied by Park Ji-seok, the Pocheon goalkeeper, and had to swallow hard as they lost 1-3 and had to postpone their promotion to another opportunity.
In a press release, Nowon said, “Although we were unfortunately unable to achieve promotion to the K3 League, our performance this season is noteworthy. Our solid preparation through winter training, along with the support of our main sponsor Coupang CLS Quickflight, our main partner Ani HR Group, and the support of our passionate fans, helped us. Despite an unfavorable start to the season, including a point deduction at the beginning, we finished third in the league and advanced to the promotion decider,” he said.
“We will continue to thrill our fans with our fiery attacking soccer next year. We will challenge for promotion to the K3 once again based on the fact that we produced the top scorer and top assistant this year.”
