He succeeded in his first win. His rebounding performance has only to go up, but he still has homework to solve.
Pohang Steelers came from behind to win 3-2 in the 2025 K League 1 match against Gwangju FC held at Gwangju World Cup Stadium on the 22nd. With this victory, Pohang has secured its first league victory of this season and raised its ranking to 10th place (five points). Pohang, which has had no victory in six games (two draws and four losses) including the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) match since the opening of the season, has turned the mood around with its first win. It was a dramatic victory. Pohang was taken by Cho Sung-kwon in the sixth minute of the first half, but balanced the game with a mid-range shot by Auberdan in the 21st minute of the first half. He got a penalty kick in the 22nd minute of the second half, and Lee Ho-jae, who was a kicker, shook the net to take the lead. He seemed to be moving away from the victory by losing the equalizer to Hayes in the extra time of the second half, but he turned the game around with Kang Hyun-je's winning goal right before the end.
This is a rebound of Pohang, which has shown signs since the last match against Jeonbuk. Coach Park Tae-ha stood out in his choice. Pohang has elevated its energy level by proactively fielding young players from the match against Jeonbuk. Wandelson, Lee Tae-seok, Han Chan-hee, and Juningyo, who were evaluated as the core players of the team until the opening of the season, were absent due to injury and injury. The team has replaced them with younger players' active activities and efforts. The team also selected Lee Chang-woo, Han Hyun-seo, Kang Min-joon and Kim Dong-jin as starters against Gwangju. All four of their players showed better-than-expected performances, never falling behind against Gwangju. Cho Sang-hyuk and Kang Hyun-jae, who were deployed in the second half, were also sharp, pressing the opponent team constantly. They have surely filled the gaps in their offensive power.
He also regained concentration in the second half. Pohang had many memories of its dramatic victory last season, nicknamed "Taeha Drama." In this season, it scored only one goal in the second half of its three league matches since the season's opening. On the other hand, it had four goals in the second half alone against Jeonbuk and Gwangju. Kang Hyun-je's finishing goal against Gwangju on the day was also Pohang's first extra time in the second half of this season. He seems to have regained his power to catch up with the opponent and widen the gap.
However, Pohang's homework is not over yet. Pohang also allowed two goals against Gwangju, increasing its number of goals lost in this season to nine. The figure is at the bottom of the league. What was more regrettable than the number of goals lost was the situation in which the team lost. Rather than collapsing due to the opponent team's outstanding attack, the team continued to display its disappointing concentration and mistakes to contribute to the team's goal. Coach Park also expressed his commitment to improve the team's defense capability after the match against Jeonbuk, saying, 먹튀검증 "It is embarrassing for the team to concede so many strange goals." However, the defense concentration issue has yet to be completely resolved even against Gwangju. Pohang, which has started to find a clue in offense and midfield, is expected to start a full-fledged leap forward in the rankings if it dispels its regret in defense.
