He's still in 7th place, but he's going to be completely defeated. We need to think about the worst situation



"I think we should think about the worst and even the (escalation) playoffs."

Gwangju lost 0-1 in the 25th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Pohang Steelyard on the 10th. Gwangju (32 points) failed to win four consecutive games (1 draw and 3 losses) due to this loss. Gwangju finished seventh with this loss.

Despite Pohang's strong attack, Gwangju endured with persistent defense, and the balance of the first half '0' was not easily broken. However, Pohang, which maintained the offensive, lost the first goal at the end of the first half and gave up the lead. Giorgi calmly caught Kang Min-joon's cross from the right side in the third minute of the first half and delivered the pass to Hong Yoon-sang in front of the penalty box. Hong Yun-sang stabbed in the corner of the Gwangju goal with an accurate left-footed shot. Gwangju won by keeping Hong Yun-sang's winning goal to the end.

Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo attended the post-match press conference and said, `I think it was a complete defeat. Nothing was right. Pohang played a game that deserved to win. There was a huge individual difference. It looked a lot too much. I think we should hope the teams that compete with us lose. I'm not sure how to prepare. The players also look tired. I think the limits of the squad are coming out little by little. I think we should even think about the worst, the playoff. I should watch the K League 2 game. We will prepare for the next game by analyzing how the top K League 2 teams play soccer. I have nothing to say to the fans who come to the expedition and support them. I was lethargic. I think I have to prepare well, as well as the players."

Gwangju recorded its first consecutive league loss of the season with this loss. Coach Lee said, `I don't think there's any way if I just look at today's game. I'll do a good review on how to find a way. As for the current situation, I think it's a lot of crisis."

Regarding the unfortunate loss of the first game after the break, "I thought I was well prepared. When I played the game, I think there were problems in both physical and tactical areas. I think I have to match the reality, but I will think about how far I have to match it again after watching the game."




As for Friedjohnson, who made his debut today as the first Icelandic player in the K-League, "wasn't bad. My body is coming up and I want to ask the players why they would have put the player in when they put in Friedjohns," he replied.
