At the end of the match whistle, coaches and players run out to the ground and can't control their joy.
Fans, players, and coaches shed tears.
It is the moment when FC Anyang won the K League 2 title for the first time in 11 years and confirmed its promotion to the first division.
"In! "YANG! WIN! YANG! WIN! YANG!"
The excitement didn't go away even outside the stadium for a while.
The players shared the joy of winning the championship by mixing themselves with enthusiastic supporters and running around on their shoulders.

Anyang LG established a civic team in 2013 when fans who lost their local soccer team first started after moving to Seoul in 2004.
In 12 seasons, Anyang has achieved a dream-like promotion to the first division.
The expectation of winning the championship, which was only focused on Suwon Samsung, E-Land, and Busan, was rather a stimulus to the players.
[Yoo Byung-hoon / FC Anyang Coach: Anyang is really going to go down now because it's always been like that. That motivated me, and because our players were fully aware of it....]
Anyang's unexpected performance led to a solo performance.
From June 2nd to confirming the championship, he hasn't given up the lead in as many as five months.
Even when I faced a crisis after losing three consecutive games, I was able to get back on my feet by pulling my mind together with the spirit of a "challenger."
[Lee Chang-yong / FC Anyang defender: I was scared to admit it wasn't perfect and put down what I had to put down to a certain extent and to feel like I could win because I was in first place.]
Anyang, which has drawn a lot of attention just for promotion, is dreaming of a pleasant rebellion in the spirit of a challenger in the first division next year, with the confrontation with Seoul, which left Anyang, emerging as an issue among soccer fans.
