Jeju SK won 2-0 in the ninth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against the Pohang Steelers at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Pohang, ranked 9th (12 points), has stopped its unbeaten streak in the last six games (4 wins and 2 draws).
Pohang was shaken by the loss early in the day. In the second minute of the first half, opponent striker Kim Jun-ha's shot shook Pohang's net. He then tried to chase, but Nam Tae-hee's additional goal was scored in the 33rd minute of the second half, and Pohang failed to recover a goal and swallowed the disappointment.
Coach Park Tae-ha told reporters after the game that `Early runs are always fatal regardless of tactics. The impatience of the mind caused by the early loss made the game itself difficult. Considering the difficult situation that the opponent is trying to overcome from the attack, he emphasized that we should be more desperate than the opponent, but I think this was lacking in preparation," he said.
Pohang left the ground in the 25th minute of the first half, when Shin Kwang-hoon, who started the game, was replaced by Eo Jung-won. Director Park said "A mistake was made. I thought I needed a change after an early run. The most important reason was that mistakes were made in midfield."
The fact that the two-top struggled against Jeju "When you play, your psychological part influences a lot. The opponent's defense, header, etc. cannot be overlooked. As a result, he lost two goals and failed to score a goal. Rather than lacking the competitiveness of the two-top, it is the responsibility of the entire player because it was completely defeated. It doesn't seem to be a two-top responsibility alone. This is a part that needs to be addressed with the players. I'll use today's defeat as a supplement to prepare well" he explained.
