Jeonbuk and Pohang will meet in the fifth round of the 2025 Hana Bank K League 1. Both teams, which are suffering from poor performance at the beginning of the season, desperately need a rebound.
Since winning 2-1 against Gimcheon in the opening match, Jeonbuk, the home team, has been in ninth place (4 points), with one draw and two losses in three games. Jeonbuk's most scorers in the team, Compagno (2 goals), and Thiago, were not able to play in the last game due to injuries, but the participation in this game is also unclear.
As a result, the roles of Song and Lee Seung-woo have become more important. Song Min-gyu was a key offensive resource last season, with six goals and six assists, while Lee Seung-woo scored 12 goals and six assists, and hence aims to become an offensive point in this match.
Pohang (12th place, 1 point) has yet to win, with 1 draw and 2 losses since the opening of the season. Recently, captain Wandelson left due to injury, and Jeon Min-kwang was appointed as the new captain, and as a captain, Jeon Min-kwang should quickly consolidate the team's atmosphere and create an opportunity for a reversal. In particular, Pohang took a break from the last round's match against Gwangju, so it will have a more solid reorganization and play in this game.
Pohang needs to improve both offense and defense as it has one point and five runs in three games this season. Striker Giorgi left a disappointment in scoring ability by scoring four goals and three assists in 34 games last season, but he contributed to Pohang's victory at an important moment by scoring in the Korea Cup final. As this season marks the second year in Pohang, a more explosive scoring operation is needed. In defense, new captain Jeon Min-kwang should increase his defensive organization to minimize the number of runs.
Jeonbuk and Pohang had a tight record with one win, one draw and one loss last season. The first showdown of this season between the two teams will take place at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
■ Team of Round: Gimcheon with Scoring Power
Gimcheon (3rd place, 7 points) won 3-1 against Anyang in the fourth round, continuing its unbeaten record (2 wins and 1 draw) for three consecutive games.
What stood out in the match was Gimcheon's offense power. Even after allowing Anyang to score the first goal, Kim Dong-kyung, Kim Seung-seop, and Yoo Kang-hyun scored consecutive goals to make a come-from-behind victory. Besides, Kim scored 20 shots and knocked on Anyang's goal through constant attack attempts throughout the game. Although it is still in the early days of the season, Kim has scored seven goals in four games, the most among all K League 1 teams. Another strength of the team is that Yoo Kang-hyun, Lee Dong-kyung (2 goals), Won Ki-jong, Park Sang-hyuk, and Kim Seung-seop (1 goal).
Meanwhile, Gimcheon will face Gwangju (ranked sixth with five points) in the fifth round. Last season, Gimcheon edged out Gwangju with two wins and one loss. The first showdown of the season between the two teams will be held at Gimcheon Sports Complex at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
■ Player of the Round: Ramas Leading Daegu's Early Rise
Daegu lost 1-2 against Daejeon in the fourth round, ending its unbeaten streak (2 wins and 1 draw) since the opening, but Ramas' performance, which knocked on Daejeon's goal until the end of the game, shone. 안전놀이터
Ramas made his first K League 1 stage as a member of Daegu in the 2021 season, and moved to K League 2 Busan in the middle of the 2022 season and played for three years until the 2024 season.
