Gwangju FC will make a winning announcement and move on to the Asian stage.
Gwangju defeated FC Seoul 2-1 in the ninth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on Sunday. Gwangju, which had been particularly strong against Seoul, had led the league by scoring two goals early on at home on the day. Afterwards, Gwangju allowed one goal at the end of the second half, but managed to secure three points after maintaining concentration until the end.
Gwangju has secured four wins, four draws and two losses (16 points) to rank No. 2 in 10 league matches. Coach Lee Jung-hyo and Gwangju have completed a scenario that they wanted the most ahead of the Asian Football Confederation Champions League Elite (ACLE) match.
Gwangju will fly to Saudi Arabia for the ACLE quarterfinal match against Al Hilal on the 25th (local time) immediately after a day off. Observing the players' way home from work, the volume of bags and carriers was extraordinary. Nevertheless, there was no hard expression. He was full of laughter and he felt an excitement that cannot be described.
The player receiving the most attention is definitely Asani, who is currently tying for the top scorer in ACLE. With nine goals, he is tying with Andersson López with Yokohama FM. He is in a position to become a top scorer.
I met Asani after the game. The following is the question and answer.
-I met Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
Al Hilal is one of the really strong teams in Saudi Arabia. I think everyone will expect Al Hilal to be strong in that regard. We talked at the meeting today. We also have our own quality and confidence in Gwangju. I plan to compete from the perspective of a challenger. I think I'm enjoying it a lot in this regard. What the players shared among them was, "Let's enjoy this moment, let's go and enjoy this time." Maybe we can bring good enough results.
- In Europe, he has faced a lot of clubs that are stronger than their current power, starting with the Euro.
(Albania) I experienced and felt a lot of those games for the national team. The most important thing is not to get stressed out. I think we should enjoy the game itself. In that sense, we share with the players that we have players who play, players who are on the bench, and players who could not come with us. We need to feel responsibility for them and release them so that we can enjoy them, rather than pressure on the opponent in the moment. I think this is the most important part. Also, just in case. Most of us expect Al Hilal to win, but Gwangju may not lose. We don't know until we try soccer. The team talked a lot about that.
- He is on a roll on the ACLE stage. 먹튀검증
We are writing history. I believe in this team. Gwangju has a lot of really young players and has great quality. It will be easy if we play our soccer. I think we can win if all the players become one. It will be difficult if even one player is not 100% focused. I think we focused until the last minute today. This was the driving force for us to write a big history. Everyone came together. We can go to Saudi Arabia and play the same soccer that Gwangju plays. The same goes to K-League and ACLE. We have to play the same game
