"I think there will be more positive factors in the composition of the players through this game."

Pohang won 1-0 with Lee Dong-hyeop's debut goal in the 41st minute of the first half in the first Group H match of the 2025-2026 Asian Champions League 2 (ACL2) against BG Patum United (Thailand) at Tru BG Stadium in Tanyaburi, Patum Thani, Thailand on the 18th.

In Group H, which includes Pohang, Tampais Rovers FC (Singapore) beat Kaya FC (Philippines) 3-0. Tampinis came in first and Pohang came in second.




Pohang caught both rabbits in the ACL2 away game, taking a break from the main resources of the game and even the opportunity for players who lacked time to play.

According to the Korea Professional Football Federation on the 19th, Pohang coach Park Tae-ha said in a press conference after the game that `Three points in the first away game of ACL Two will be a very positive factor for us. Especially, I think the players who had not played much time showed great performances"He expressed his feelings about the victory. Lee Dong-hyeop, who scored the winning goal, said, `I was so grateful that my teammates kept my first score until the end. The play prepared in Korea was well done until the middle of the second half, but it seems that he lacked concentration at the end of the second half, perhaps because he was physically tired. Next time, I will prepare better so that I can play a good game"

Coach Park decided to accompany only two foreign players, Juninho and Aspro. It was a choice considering the tight schedule of playing both the K-League and ACL2. Coach Park said, `The ACL2 game is also a very important game. However, there is a very important ranking battle in the K League right now. There is also a game on Sunday, three days after ACL2 returns from Thursday, and to play that game normally, there was no choice but to save the players who would play that game. "Players who haven't played enough. Our players who went on the road this time were competitive enough and thought they could bring good enough performance and results, so we formed members like this and played the game."




As for Lee Dong-hyeop who scored the winning goal "Lee Dong-hyeop, who scored his first goal in the professional league, played very well today and hopes to become a good player who can perform better starting with today's goal." Our players are all treasures and gifts to me. In fact, it's about deciding on players in good condition and sending them to the stadium, and I don't think our players are that much different. I think the players sitting on the bench are also competitive on the ground. As I said earlier, some of today's players have just returned from injury, so it was a match that confirmed their performance or physical strength. Through this game, more positive factors are likely to play a role in the composition of the players in the future" he evaluated.

Pohang was pushed back against Patum at the end of the second half of the day, causing a threatening loss crisis. Director Park said, `I have some regrets about that part, too"He won the game, but his performance in the second half was a little disappointing. In the first half, we played well to play like this depending on the opponent team as we planned and trained, but we will go back and communicate with the players about problems after 20 minutes in the second half. Next time, I will supplement it through training or communication with the players so that this situation does not come out" he said.
