Jeju won a complete 3-1 win in the Hana Bank K-League 1 2024 2nd round home game against Daejeon Hana Citizen held at Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 10th.
Yuri Jonatan scored two goals through penalty kicks, and Jin Seong-wook, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scored the key goal.
As a result, Jeju, which had drawn 1-1 with Gangwon FC in the first round away game on the 2nd, recorded its first win of the season in the home opener and went undefeated for two consecutive games.
Above all, today’s victory has great meaning for Jeju.
It has been 7 years since Jeju won the K-League home opening game.
After winning 3-0 in the second round home opener against Ulsan Hyundai (now Ulsan HD) on March 11, 2017, Jeju had been undefeated in the home opener (4 wins) for six years until last year, including 2020 in K League 2. 2 draws and 2 losses).
Jeju pursued change by selecting coach Kim Hak-beom as the head coach for the new season in December last year.
Coach Kim Hak-beom, famous for his nickname ‘Hakbeomson’ as an academic leader, stepped down from his position as Gwangju FC head coach in November 2017 and left the K-League stage, but returned after a long time.

At his inauguration press conference last January, Coach Kim expressed his ambition to "make Jeju a hell for the away team," and kept his 'promise' in the home opening game.
Coach Kim, who promised a winning rate of '60% in home games and 40% in away games', took the refreshing first step toward winning home games by defeating Daejeon.
In addition, with this day's victory, Coach Kim tasted victory on the K-League stage for the first time in 6 years and 5 months since the 1-0 victory over Sangju Sangmu on October 22, 2017, when he was in charge of Gwangju.
Coach Kim Hak-beom, who won a valuable victory that brought new emotions in many ways, said in a press conference after the game, "I am happy to win at home and bring joy to the fans. I want to say thank you to the players."
He especially smiled brightly, saying, “It’s been a long time since I felt alive.”
Coach Kim, who gave Jeju a home opening win for the first time in seven years, said, "Jeju Island is actually a difficult trip for other teams," and added, "Last year, Jeju only had four wins at home based on the 33rd round of the regular league, which disappointed the fans." .
He then said, “I thought we absolutely had to win the home game,” and promised, “We will improve further.” 메이저 토토사이트
