Unfortunately, Gangwon FC and Suwon Samsung, which are on the verge of "direct relegation," will face off in the final game.

A team that wins the showdown will inevitably avoid direct relegation. Gangwon FC can avoid direct relegation with a minimum draw. However, if it loses, it must wait and see the result of the simultaneous showdown between Suwon FC and Jeju United. If Suwon FC also loses, it will be able to avoid direct relegation.

If Suwon Samsung wins the draw, it will be able to avoid direct relegation only when Jeju beats Suwon FC. If it loses, it will remain at the bottom.

Recently, the two teams have been in a tearful race for survival.

Gangwon FC striker Lee Jung-hyup burst into tears thinking about his late father-in-law after scoring in a match against Suwon FC in the previous round.

Early in the morning of the game, his father-in-law died after fighting cancer, and Lee Jung-hyeop kept the deceased's mortuary after the game. For the deceased, who was a big fan of Gangwon FC, Lee Jung-hyeop again tightens the string of soccer shoes and targets Suwon Samsung's goal.

Lee Jong-sung of Suwon Samsung sheds tears after winning the Super Match. 

As much as Gangwon FC's Lee Jung-hyup's tears, Suwon Samsung's Lee Jong-sung's tears drew attention.

Lee Jong-sung, who played in the match wearing the captain's armband, shed tears after winning the Super Match against FC Seoul in the last round.

Suwon Samsung, which had never won three previous matches with its rival FC Seoul, had a thrilling victory in the face of relegation, while Lee couldn't hold back his tears in relief. However, Lee cannot play in the final match against Gangwon FC due to accumulated warnings he received from Super Matches.

One of Lee Jung-hyup and Lee Jong-sung, who drew attention with different stories and the same tears, is likely to shed tears of sadness depending on the results of the final match.
