Kim Dae-won stepped up and calmly sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to level the scores at 1–1.

Yongin immediately pressed their numerical advantage. In the 85th minute, substitute Jo Gwang-min collected a pass on the edge of the area, shifted the ball onto his right foot, and unleashed a low drive that beat the goalkeeper at his near post. Ansan desperately pushed for an equalizer but could not find a way through, as Yongin held on for a vital three points.
