Suwon Bluewings claimed a 1-0 victory over Chonan in the K-League 2 Regular Season. The match concluded on the 22nd of August with the visitors taking the spoils.

L. Mina found the net in the 56th minute to settle the match. The opening exchanges featured a yellow card for Chonan. Choi Jun-Hyeok was booked in the 16th minute. By then, the physicality was evident. And here's the thing, the goal arrived after a spell of possession.
The home side made five substitutions at the break. Kang Seong-Jin, Kim Gyeol, and Kang Hyun-Muk came on alongside Lee Kyu-Min. Choi Jun-Hyeok was among those replaced.
