FC Seoul and FC Anyang played to a 1-1 draw in Round 6 of K League 1 at the Anyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi on Sunday.

The two clubs are deeply entwined because of a past franchise relocation. Anyang LG, the predecessor of FC Seoul, moved to Seoul in 2004, and Anyang was reborn in 2013 as the current FC Anyang before earning a promotion to the top flight in 2025.

The two sides exchanged goals in the season’s first derby. In the 45th minute, FC Seoul goalkeeper Gu Seong-yun launched a long kick that glanced off Kim Jung-hyun of Anyang and fell kindly for Patryk Klimala, who fired home a left-footed first-time shot.

Klimala then broke out his trademark Hulk celebration. But in the 78th minute, Matheus Oliveira delivered a corner that Ailton headed in for the equalizer.

FC Seoul, which had opened the season with four straight wins, recorded its first draw and moved to 13 points. It still stayed at the top, two points clear of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, which has played one more match. FC Anyang now stands at one win, three draws and two losses.

In K League 2, Suwon Samsung Bluewings, managed by Lee Jeong-hyo, was held to a scoreless home draw by Chungbuk Cheongju FC. Suwon’s five-match winning streak to start the season came to an end.

Suwon and Busan IPark both stand at five wins and one draw, but Suwon slipped to second on goals scored.
