Suwon women claimed a narrow 2:1 victory over Seoul in the WK League's regular season round 22 on Thursday. Kang Tae-kyung opened the scoring before the break, S. Yoon equalised early in the second half, and Ji So-Yun's late strike decided the encounter. The result extends Suwon's momentum while Seoul continue to search for consistency.
Kang Tae-kyung's goal came in the 44th minute and here's the thing — it felt like the moment Suwon had been building toward all season. She found space between Seoul's defensive lines and finished with composure, a goal that came from positioning rather than luck. To be fair, Seoul had been organising well, but one moment of doubt cost them.
Seoul responded quickly after the restart. S. Yoon's 56th-minute goal brought them back into the game, and by then the match had shifted on its axis. The equaliser came from a well-worked move, but Suwon's response would prove decisive. It is always the second goal after the break that tells you something about a team's character.
Ji So-Yun made the difference in the 74th minute, and this is where the match was truly won. Her finish was clinical, capitalising on a moment when Seoul's concentration had slipped. One mistake ends it, and that is exactly what happened here. Suwon held on grimly after that, knowing the points were within reach.
The victory keeps Suwon's winning streak alive, with results against Kyeongju, Bunsanmu, and Incheon Red Angels showing their recent form. Seoul, meanwhile, have drawn two of their last three league games and lost one, suggesting they need to find a rhythm. Three points from a match that could have gone either way.
