FC Seoul has emerged from the swamp of no wins. Seoul beat Daegu FC 1-0 in the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" match on Sunday. It was the first win in a whopping eight matches since the match against Daegu FC (3-2) on March 29. With the victory, Seoul (four wins, six draws and four losses with 18 points) jumped to seventh place.
"We have homework to do. Scoring ability." On the day, Seoul made 16 attempts. It had five shots on goal. However, it only scored one goal. After the game, Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said, "We were winning at the opponent's home. We lowered the (offensive) line a little, but we still had two or three good chances. (Players) seem to be in a hurry. We need to be calm. What's urgent is defense, but the striker failed to find the tempo because he tried to do it quickly. It's a shame. If we had scored another goal, we would have made more. We will continue to think about (how to score)."
According to the K-League's data portal, Seoul's expected score for this season is 17.76. The expected score per 90 minutes is 1.14 goals, ranking third overall. However, in reality, the team has scored 11 goals (game average of 0.56). In terms of team scores, the team remains tied for the lowest with Gangwon FC among the 12 teams. Notably, Seoul had a total of four points during the seven-game winless period. At the match against the Daejeon Hana Citizen on Sunday, the team shot 23 times (eight effective shots) but ended the game scoreless. "Ace" Lingard is silent after scoring four goals in 14 games, while strikers including Moon Seon-min and Cho Young-wook are also struggling.
What is comforting is that the new foreign player, Banks, scored his K-League debut goal against Daegu. Seoul now boasts confidence by banking on its victory. At the Korea Cup with Daejeon Korail FC (division 3), Cho Young-wook and Kang Sung-jin scored "goal-taste" and won 2-1. Officially, he scored three goals in two matches to secure victory.
"I think this will be the starting point (for the victory against Daegu)." He even brought up his "feeling good" experience. "It was in 2007 when I was a player. Our team had no win for 12 games since the opening. It was a difficult time. Players gained strength and won against Gwangju Sangmu. I remember scoring a goal in just 30 seconds and playing defense for the entire 90 minutes. Anyway, the team won 1-0. The victory turned out to be a reversal. The team finished the regular league in fifth place and won the title through the playoffs. I believe there was a change in the direction of change." In fact, while playing for Pohang, Kim scored a goal in May 2007 in Gwangju Sangmu match to lead the team to victory. 먹튀검증
"We won the match against Daegu following the Korea Cup. If our performance was not good, we would have said 'We would have won once'. However, we had confidence that we could win if we scored a goal." "I think it would have been a game that energizes our players." Seoul will hold three consecutive games against Suwon FC (home on Monday), Gimcheon Sangmu (home on Friday), and Jeju SK (home on Sunday). After that, the team will begin its A-match break in June.
