‘2 Consecutive Wins + Lead’ Gwangju, Challenges ‘3 Consecutive Wins in First Opening Season’ in Away Graveyard
‘Lingard is silent’ Seoul aims for ‘major victory’ over Jeju.
Gwangju FC, who continues to make a splash in this season's professional soccer K-League 1 following last year, will challenge to overcome the 'Pohang jinx' and achieve the first 3 consecutive wins in the K-League 1 since its founding.
Gwangju will play the 3rd round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 against Pohang Steelers at Pohang Steel Yard at 2 pm on the 17th.
Gwangju, who defeated FC Seoul, played by 'all-time foreign player' Jesse Lingard, 2-0 in the opening game of this season, won 4-2 after a difficult battle with Gangwon FC on the 10th, recording 2 consecutive wins (6 points, 6 points), was on par with the ‘defending champion’ Ulsan HD (6 points, 4 points), but took the lead in terms of multiple points.
Gwangju, who scored 6 goals in 2 games, prevented conceding only 4 goals and established themselves as a 'breakthrough team' for the 2nd consecutive year with a stable offense and defense balance from the beginning of the season.
The opponent Gwangju will meet in the third round is Pohang.
Pohang fell 0-1 to Ulsan in the opening game, but turned things around by beating Daegu FC 3-1 in the second round home game and securing a victory.
Pohang is Gwangju's old 'natural enemy'.
Since debuting on the K-League stage in 2011, Gwangju has been absolutely weak against Pohang with 2 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses.
Victories were won once each in 2021 (away) and 2023 (home).
Gwangju defeated Pohang 2-1 away on November 7, 2021, experiencing the joy of its first victory against Pohang since its founding.
It was the first victory against Pohang after 21 consecutive games without a win (6 draws, 15 losses).
However, even after that, Gwangju could not easily beat Pohang.
It took one year and seven months to achieve their second ever win with a score of 4-2 in a home game against Pohang on June 3, 2023.
For this reason, Gwangju is trying to completely erase the ‘Pohang jinx’ through this third round away game against Pohang.
Recently, Gwangju is undefeated in 3 consecutive games (1 win, 2 draws) against Pohang, so their confidence is high.
If we beat Pohang this time, we will taste the ‘second Pohang away trip’ victory since November 2021.
