Pohang, which is trying to win its third consecutive Korea Cup title, and Gimpo, which is trying to challenge the 'Giant Killing' for the third consecutive time, unveiled the 'Pilseung Lineup'.

K League 1 Pohang and K League 2 Gimpo will face off in the round of 16 of the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup' against Pohang at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 14th. Pohang, the most winning team (6 times), which has won the past two consecutive tournaments, will start from the round of 16 as a team participating in the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE). Gimpo beat Cheonan City 2-1 in the third round to advance to the round of 16. The two teams face each other for the first time in history.

Pohang coach Park Tae-ha and Gimpo coach Ko Jung-woon had a relationship with each other when they were in Pohang. Park played for Pohang from 1991 to 2001 and Ko from 1998 to 2001. He also worked with the national team. After retiring from active duty, Park served as Pohang coach, national soccer team coach, Seoul head coach, Yan Ben Puder coach, Chinese women's team coach, and professional soccer federation technical committee chairman before taking the helm of Pohang in 2024. Coach Ko has been the Sunmoon University coach and Anyang coach, and has been leading Gimpo since 2020.




Pohang did not rotate much. Cho Sang-hyuk, Jorge, two-top and Juningyo, Han Chan-hee, Kim Dong-jin, and Hong Yoon-sang set up a midfield team. Kang Min-joon Aspro and Han Hyun-seo Eo Jung-won set up a four-back, and Yoon Pyeong-guk protects the goal for the first time in a long time. Lee Ho-jae, Kim In-sung, Shin Kwang-hoon, and Jeon Min-kwang are on the bench. Auverdan and Lee Tae-seok, who were injured, were excluded from the list.

Kimpo, the home team that ranks eighth in the K League 2, gave Cho Sung-joon Plana the lead in the attack in the 3-5-2 formation. Chun Ji-hyun, Ahn Chang-min, a designer, will set up a midfield team, while Kim Ji-hoon and Kim Min-sik will play wingback. Lee Chan-hyung Chapman and Park Kyung-rok pack three-backs, and Son Jung-hyun wears goalkeeper gloves. Kim Gyeol-Lewis and Jegal Jae-min wait for the order to start on the bench.
