World Class has ultimately found themselves on a direct path to the relegation match.
On the 25th, the final group stage match of the G League's B Group was aired on SBS's 'Kick a Goal'.
The broadcast featured the last group stage match between World Class and Balladream in Group B.
Especially since this match determined which teams would advance to the championship tournament and which would face relegation, both teams approached the game with more seriousness than ever before.
Balladream, having never won against World Class, was determined to secure a victory this time, grinding their teeth in determination. World Class, on the other hand, was confident in maintaining their dynasty with a win by more than two goals.
The first goal came from Balladream, who has been on a hot streak recently. Just 2 minutes into the first half, a pass from Seogi was converted into a goal by Minseo. Coach Hyun Young-min then said, "We can win this 6-0," aiming to take the top spot in Group B with a victory by more than six goals.
However, no additional goals were scored in the first half. Notably, Saori, who had been a top scorer in previous seasons, failed to score in this G League, leaving fans disappointed.
But just 2 minutes into the second half, World Class's Karign scored an equalizer, rallying her teammates with "That was just the warm-up, now the real game begins."
Then, 4 minutes later, Natalia scored another goal, proving that a victory by more than two goals for World Class was not out of reach.
Balladream did not give up on their goal and continued to attack relentlessly. However, they were unable to score any additional goals, finding it difficult to breach the goal guarded by Kick a Goal's star goalkeeper, Kathy.
World Class also pushed for another goal until the very end. However, their ace, Saori, showed signs of fatigue, indicating that she was reaching her limit, and the game concluded with a 2-1 victory for World Class.
As a result, the rankings did not change, and Balladream advanced to the championship tournament, while World Class went straight to the relegation match, drawing significant attention.
Particularly, the outcome of this match sent World Class, Top Girl, and Streaming Fighters, all past champions, directly to the relegation match, proving this league to be one of the most competitive yet.
