Ansan Greeners and Kimhae played out a frustrating 2-2 draw in the K-League 2 on Sunday. The hosts held a slender advantage for most of the contest, but the visitors fought back to salvage a point. and here's the thing, the result does little to separate two sides sitting near the bottom of the table.
Jang Hyun-Soo gave Ansans the lead after ten minutes, capitalising on early pressure. Kimhae responded quickly through J. Woo, who levelled the score before the quarter-hour mark. The momentum shifted again when J. Woo struck a second goal just before the break.
The statistics suggest Ansans controlled the tempo, registering 274 attacks compared to Kimhae's 210. Possession sat at 54 percent for the hosts, yet they managed fewer corners. to be fair, the visitors were more efficient in the final third, converting their limited chances into goals.
Substitutions began immediately after the interval, with Cho Ji-Hun and H. Seol brought on for the hosts. The game remained cagey until the dying stages, when a late goal in the 90th minute-plus-six allowed Kimhae to avoid a defeat. by then, both sets of legs were heavy.
Ansan Greeners remain in 15th place with 24 points, while Kimhae sit 17th with 13. The result extends a poor run for the hosts, who have now lost four of their last five fixtures. Kimhae, meanwhile, have failed to win in their last three outings.
