The 100th league ‘Super Match’ with ‘rival’ Suwon Samsung was a 100-point derby in which FC Seoul took care of both the content and the result.
Seoul caught 3-1 in the 8th round of the ‘Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023’ held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 22nd. It was a super match that was satisfying just by defeating an eternal rival that even ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ couldn’t lose by 2 goals. After overcoming the regret of the 1-1 draw against Pohang in the last round, Seoul, which won 3 points that day, recorded 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 16 points. On the same day, Ulsan and Pohang took the opportunity to draw 2-2 in the ‘East Coast Derby’, bringing down Pohang (16 points) to a multi-point difference (3 goals) and rising to second place. At the same time, they narrowed the gap with leader Ulsan (19 points) to 3 points. Since the score is tied with 19 goals, it is a position that can go over to the top depending on the result of the next round. Striker Hwang Eui-jo, whose short-term lease expires in June, expressed his aspirations, saying, “I will put Seoul first before leaving.” 먹튀검증
For reference, the number of points Seoul won from the opening of last year until the 8th round was only 7 points. Seoul, which suffered from the beginning of the season, confirmed its retention in the final game of the season. Compared to the same period last season, the number of goals doubled from 8 to 16. With the hot attacking soccer, they succeeded in hunting for points that reached 2 points per game. After defeating Daegu in the opening game last year, Seoul fell into a 7-game winless streak. Even at the very beginning of this year, there were hurdles. After consecutive victories in the 1st and 2nd rounds, they suffered their first loss of the season to Ulsan in the 3rd round. After winning against Jeju in the 4th round, he lost in the 5th round against Daejeon Hana. However, Seoul quickly changed the atmosphere and never fell into the swamp of consecutive draws. In the last 7 matches, they recorded win-loss-win-loss-win-draw-win. There was no winning streak, but the fact that there were no consecutive draws resulted in a good result.
