Join 18 teams in the K League, excluding four teams participating in the ACL
The third round of the Korea Cup will be held on the 17th of next month

The second round of the Korea Cup formerly FA Cup has been completed to determine the strongest soccer team in Korea.

The Korea Cup, where professionals and amateurs compete on one stage, held a two-round schedule on the 23rd and 24th. In the second round, 15 teams that won the first round, the top four teams in the K3 League and 13 teams in the K League 2 joined. After the second round, 12 teams in the K League 2, 3 teams in the K3 League and 1 team in the K4 League advanced to the third round.

The result that caught the eye was another upset. The semi-professional K4 League Jinju Citizens’ Soccer Team achieved the upset by catching the pro K League 2 Chungnam Asan 1-0. Jinju Citizens’ Soccer Team will meet the K League 1 Daejeon Hana Citizen in the third round.

In addition to the Jinju Citizens’ Soccer Team, many other teams wanted to become the protagonist of an extraordinary incident, but failed to pass the threshold. The Seoul Gwanak District Byeoksan Players K5 faced Gimpo FC K2 1-1 until the 29th minute of the second half, but lost 1-3 after allowing two goals. Yangsan Sea Music FC K5 also held out 0-0 until the 28th minute of the second half in an away match against Cheonan City K2, but lost four goals due to lack of physical stamina, and fell to its knees 0-4.

The remaining matches between the K-League 2, K3, and K4 ended with the victory of the K-League 2 teams. The Ansan Greeners, FC Anyang, Seongnam FC, Gyeongnam FC, Chungbuk Cheongju, and Jeonnam Dragons all advanced to the third round with scoreless wins. Suwon Samsung and Bucheon FC both joined the third round with 2-1 home wins. Seoul E-Land and Busan I-Park advanced to the third round with penalty shootout victories after extra-time struggles. Seoul E-Land will play the “Seoul derby” against FC Seoul in the third round for the first time in three years.

The showdown between the K3 League teams was between FC Mokpo and Hwaseong FC. FC Mokpo well maintained Kim Da-won’s opening goal until the end in an away match against Changwon FC. Hwaseong, the winner of last year’s K3 League, won 2-0 over Yeoju FC, the winner of last year’s K4 League. In the match between Pyeongtaek Citizen K4 and Gimhae City Hall K3, where the only K3 and K4 match was held, Gimhae won by a large margin, 5-1.
