FC Seoul took the initiative in the 36th minute of the first half, spearheaded by its foreign duo.

Anderson broke through the left flank and passed the ball to Klimala, who finished it with his left foot to score for the second consecutive match.

FC Seoul allowed an equalizer in the 11th minute of the second half due to an own goal by defender Ross, who attempted to clear a header from Pohang's Tranziska following a corner kick, but Jung Seung-won's performance completely shifted the momentum.

In the 24th minute of the second half, as Moon Seon-min delivered a cross, Jung rushed in instantly and connected with his right foot to hit the back of the net.

Relishing his joy with a wink celebration, Jung netted his second goal of the match with his left foot in the 43rd minute of the second half after receiving a pass from Lee Seung-mo.

Beginning with the Incheon match on the 5th of this month following the World Cup break, Jung has continued his stellar form by racking up four goals just this month.

Thanks to this, FC Seoul secured a 3-1 victory, extending its undefeated streak to six matches and widening the gap with second-place Gangwon to 10 points.
