Suwon Samsung, a traditional and prestigious team, fell to the bottom of 12th with 2 draws and 6 losses from the opening to the 8th round in the professional football K League 1, and recorded 4 wins and 4 draws, Pohang Steelers, the only one among 12 teams that did not lose. clash with
Pohang, which is in third place after Ulsan Hyundai and FC Seoul, and Suwon, which are in the lowest place, will meet at 7:30 pm on the 25th at Pohang Steel Yard in Gyeongbuk.
Pohang recorded 16 points in the K-League 1 this season, ranking third after Ulsan Hyundai (18 points) and FC Seoul (16 points).
Ulsan has lost 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and Seoul has lost 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, but Pohang is the only one that continues its ‘undefeated march’.
Pohang scored 13 goals in 8 matches and conceded 8 points, and it is stable enough to be the least among 12 clubs, along with Ulsan and Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Last season’s key players such as Shin Jin-ho and Im Sang-hyeop transferred to Incheon United and Seoul, respectively, resulting in a power leak, but Koh Young-jun (4 goals) and Lee Ho-jae (3 goals) are making up for the void.
On the other hand, Suwon is in an ’emergency situation’ with coach Lee Byung-geun stepping down during the season and coach Choi Seong-yong taking over as acting manager.
Last season, after being driven to the playoffs for the promotion, Suwon, the ‘famous family’, who managed to remain in the first division, is the lowest among 12 clubs with 2 draws and 6 losses.
Besides Suwon, there are only two teams without a win after the opening, including Gangwon FC (4 draws and 4 losses).
Suwon’s only win this season was a 3-1 win in the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup against Ansan Greeners of K League 2 on the 12th.
It remains to be seen whether Suwon, who has lost 3 consecutive times recently in the ‘Super Match’ against Seoul on the 22nd, will win its first win of the season by sacrificing ‘undefeated team’ Pohang.먹튀검증

In terms of ranking, Gwangju, which was promoted from K-League 2 last season, is in 5th place (13 points), ahead of 10th place Jeju (8 points).
