▲ FC Porto players celebrate after winning the Portuguese Super Cup
South Korean national team midfielder Hwang In-beom, 29, who recently joined Portuguese professional football powerhouse FC Porto, has experienced his first championship title in his official debut match.
Porto secured a 1-0 victory over SCU Torreense (second division) in the 2026 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira (Portuguese Super Cup) held at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra in Coimbra, Portugal, on August 2 KST.
The Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira is a super cup competition played between the champions of the previous season's Primeira Liga (first division) and the winners of the Taça de Portugal (Portuguese Cup).
Porto, which claimed the Primeira Liga summit last season, defeated Torreense—who won the Taça de Portugal for the first time in their history—to capture their 25th Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira title overall.
In particular, Hwang In-beom, who transferred to Porto from Feyenoord (Netherlands) on July 21, made his official debut by coming off the bench in the 28th minute of the second half, relishing the joy of lifting a championship trophy just 12 days after joining the club.
Hwang, who first greeted home fans through a pre-season friendly against Aston Villa (England) on July 27, made his presence felt in his official debut on this day by recording one shot on target and one key pass, and joined in the victory celebrations.
In the match, Porto broke the deadlock in the 38th minute of the first half when Viktor Froholdt redirected a cross from Pepê near the left side of the penalty area with a header right in front of the goal zone, which turned out to be the winning goal.
Ending the first half up 1-0, Porto substituted Hwang In-beom for central midfielder Gabri Veiga in the 28th minute of the second half. Hwang missed a scoring opportunity in the 43rd minute of the second half when his left-footed shot from right in front of the penalty arc went straight at the goalkeeper.
Porto warded off Torreense's pursuit to seal the victory, and Hwang participated in the post-match awards ceremony, fully enjoying the joy of his first title since joining the club.
