Choi Kyu-hyun (FC Anyang) played as a substitute in a home game against Gangwon FC in the seventh round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 held at Anyang Sports Complex on Sunday, and scored a goal that would break the zero balance. Anyang, which led by Choi Kyu-hyun, won 2-0 thanks to Thomas' netting that scored in the extra time of the second half. It was the first K League 1 home win in history.

Choi stepped on the ground in place of Chae in the 15th minute of the second half and successfully opened Gangwon's goal in the 38th minute of the second half. When Anyang had an opportunity to attack a corner kick, a Gangwon defender kicked the ball Mateus with his head. However, Choi was in the position of the second ball. Without hesitating, Choi attempted a volley shot. He was sucked into the corner of the goal.

Choi told reporters after the match, "I am so happy that I was able to win my first home victory. The mood was subdued because I failed to win the match against Jeonbuk, but my team was able to win and change the mood with my own goal. It was my first win at home in a good mood," adding, "I think there will be many more things to come. I think I will pass it calmly."

As mentioned earlier, Choi didn't hesitate to hit the ball when he had a chance to shoot, shaking the net. "I practiced a lot of set piece situations. The coaches told me to be ready because I think there will be a lot of scenes like this. The ball just came. I think I did what I was doing because I prepared. The coach wants a confident play. I think I'm doing it more confidently in that part," he said. "I knew that there was no Kangwon player in that position in a second ball situation. I only thought about the moment when I or other players were concentrated there and fell, but the ball came and hit me so well. I thought we should push it into the corner, but I think I was lucky to go in." 안전놀이터

Rather than hitting a powerful shot with the top of his foot, Choi tried to shoot accurately with the inside. "I thought the distance was close. I pushed it in because the inside was more accurate. I think if I hit it with the top of my foot, I would have fired it," he said.

Anyang won the K-League 2 title last season, and is now playing in the K-League 1 for the first time this season. "There is no difference between last year and this year. It's just that the stage is different," Choi said. "We're getting used to it. I'm looking forward to the future. I think our play will get better if we adapt more."
