At 6:00 PM on July 28th, the Pohang Steelers will host Kimcheon Sangmu in the 25th round of the K1 League.
The home team, Pohang Steelers, secured their position in the championship group after their comeback victory over Daejeon Hana Citizen in the previous match. This game is not only a direct confrontation between teams in the championship group but also Pohang’s last home game before the break, making it highly anticipated. The team has prepared various off-field activities to attract fans, including autograph sessions, photo opportunities, souvenir giveaways, and promotional activities for the Korean Sports Toto. Coinciding with “Pohang Student Day,” the Gyeongsangbuk-do Pohang Education Support Office has also provided numerous tickets to local students, ensuring a packed steel yard stadium today. The Steelers, who already boast a strong home record, will receive even more support from their home crowd.
In terms of personnel, the team recently traded Lee Tae-seok, a fullback from Seoul, for discharged goalkeeper Kang Hyun-moo, but the player has not yet reported to the team and will be unavailable for this match. Regarding injuries, Kim Jong-woo and Han Jan-hee in the midfield are sidelined, leaving the team short-handed in the defensive midfield position, forcing the team to utilize fullback Yu Jeong-won as a temporary solution. New signings An Jae-jun and Min Sang-ki are also recovering from injuries and will not be available.
Kimcheon Sangmu has exceeded expectations this season. After the departure of all seven veterans, the new recruits have adjusted quickly and seamlessly integrated into the team, described by the Korean media as “having no transition period.” They have maintained their strong performance. Kimcheon Sangmu has recorded a low win rate in their last eight away games with only one win, five draws, and two losses. However, they have managed to escape unscathed in several away matches.
On the player front, the team’s star player, Lee Dong-gyeong, dubbed “K League’s Foden,” experienced discomfort in the last match. However, post-game assessments confirmed it was a minor injury, and his participation in today’s game is highly probable. Another positive development is that Lee Dong-jun, the team’s speedy winger, has recovered and is expected to see more playing time gradually. His pace and attacking prowess will pose a significant threat to the opposing defense.
