The "post-season" schedule of professional soccer K-League 2 clubs for promotion to the first division will begin. The first stage will be the semi-playoff (PO) stage on the 29th.
As the regular season of Hana One Q K League 2 2023 ended with Kim Cheon-sang's victory, the match between semi-PO and PO teams was completed.
While Gimcheon will automatically be promoted to the K League 1 stage next year with the K League 2 victory, second-place Busan I'Park will challenge for promotion to the first division by playing a home-and-away PO with the 11th-ranked K League 1 team on December 6th and 9th.
Now, fans' attention is focused on the semi-PO and PO matches that determine the main character of K League 2 to face the 10th-ranked team in K League 1.
The semi-PO winner between the fifth-ranked team in the K League 2 and the fourth-ranked team will play the PO with the third-ranked team, and the surviving team will play the promotion PO with the 10th-ranked team in the K League 1.
This year's K League 2 semi-PO will be held at the Changwon Football Center at 7 p.m. on the 29th with a single-round match between fourth-place Gyeongnam FC and fifth-place Bucheon FC.
Gyeongnam and Bucheon received the same 57 points in the regular league, but Gyeongnam, which was ahead in multiple points, took fourth place to play a semi-PO at home.
Gyeongnam, which scored 54 goals in 36 games, is ahead of Bucheon (45 goals), but Bucheon, which scored only 35 goals in defense, is better than Gyeongnam (42 goals).
In Gyeongnam, led by Glayson, who ranked fourth in scoring with 13 goals, Won Ki-jong (10 goals) and Mo Jae-hyun (6 goals) led the attack.
In response to this, Bucheon's Ahn Jae-joon (11 goals) and "goal defender" Nilsson Jr. (5 goals) took the lead in scoring.
Gyeongnam and Bucheon both won the final regular league match side by side.
Gyeongnam beat Gimpo FC (60 points) in third place, which went straight to the PO, 1-0 while Bucheon defeated the seventh-place Jeonnam Dragons 4-1 with Ahn Jae-joon's hat trick against Jeonnam.
As both teams have tasted victory, it is expected that there will be no concession in the semi-PO match.
However, if both semi-PO and PO end in a draw, the team with a high ranking will be the winner without extra time.
The semi-PO winning team will compete against third-place Gimpo at 4:30 p.m. on December 2 at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium.
The winning team of the PO will play the home-and-away promotion PO against the 10th-ranked team in the K League on December 6th and 9th.
The teams ranked 10th to 12th in the K League 1 will be decided in the final round of 38th round of the regular league Final B on December 2.
With Gangwon FC (33 points) in the 10th place until the 37th round, Suwon FC and Suwon Samsung were ranked 11th and 12th, respectively, with 32 points.
Gangwon and Suwon will face off in the final match, while Suwon FC will face Jeju United in ninth place.
