Outstanding performance
Anyang•GoalkeeperAnyang struck at the perfect moment, with Branislav Knežević converting Ivan Jukic's assist in the 37th minute to give the away side a lead they would not relinquish. Gimcheon Sangmu actually edged the possession battle and piled on the pressure with nine corners to Anyang's one, but couldn't find a way past a resolute visiting defense that matched them shot for shot on target. The second half was notably quieter in terms of clear-cut chances, with both managers turning to their benches heavily - ten substitutions combined - as the game settled into a pattern of Gimcheon probing without really threatening. For Anyang, the away win marks a valuable three points on the road, while Gimcheon will be frustrated at wasting their territorial dominance and corner count without reward in front of goal.
