Jung Seung-won Scores Multiple Goals as FC Seoul Defeats Pohang to Extend Undefeated Streak to 6 Matches and Solidify Lead

K League 1 club FC Seoul defeated the Pohang Steelers, propelled by a multi-goal performance from Jung Seung-won, extending its undefeated streak to six matches (five wins and one draw) and firmly maintaining the top spot in the standings.

Seoul secured a 3-1 victory in its home match against Pohang for Round 19 of the Hana Bank K League 1 held today at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

With this win, Seoul brought its total points to 42, widening the gap with second-place Gangwon FC (32 points) to 10 points.

Seoul, riding a recent wave of strong momentum, took the early initiative.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Patryk Klimala finished off Anderson's cutback with a one-touch left-footed shot, scoring for the second consecutive match.

This marks Klimala's seventh goal of the league season.

Although Pohang leveled the score in the 11th minute of the second half following an own goal by Seoul defender Ross during a corner kick situation, Seoul had Jung Seung-won, known as the "summer man."

In the 24th minute of the second half, Jung connected on a cross from Moon Seon-min on the left side of the penalty area with a right-footed one-touch shot for the winning goal. He then added a sealing goal with his left foot in the 43rd minute of the second half after receiving a pass from Lee Seung-mo.

Continuing his scorching form, Jung has netted four goals this month alone, starting with the Incheon match on the 5th following the World Cup break.

Elsewhere, Gwangju and Gimcheon played to a 1-1 draw.

Gwangju's Yadeil opened the scoring in the 4th minute of the first half, but Gimcheon Sangmu's Ko Jae-hyun balanced the match just two minutes later with an exquisite lobbed shot over the goalkeeper's reach.
