Pohang won 2-0 in an away match against Jeju United in the fourth round of Hana Bank’s K League 1 2024 at 4:30 p.m. on the 30th at the Jeju World Cup Stadium. Pohang had a hard time being blocked by Jeju’s defense wall until 90 minutes passed, but Jung Jae-hee’s winning goal and Baek Sung-dong’s consecutive goals in extra time scored a thrilling victory by two goals.

With the win, Pohang has secured three consecutive wins to move up to second in the league. It had the same score (nine points) as Gimcheon Sangmu, which beat Suwon FC at the same time, but was lagging behind in multiple points. Pohang has started off to a shaky start due to an unexpected defeat by Gimcheon in the opening game, and has been showing good performance under the guidance of newly appointed “one club man” coach Park Tae-ha.

Coach Park Tae-ha made changes by putting in Jeong Jae-hee and Lee Ho-jae in the 14th and 30th minutes of the second half, respectively, as the game did not turn out well. The effect was shown. Pohang, which won the match against Gwangju FC in the last round with Lee Ho-jae’s high header and Jeong Jae-hee’s theater goal, created a similar scene once again. When a cross came up from the left in the 2nd minute of extra time, 192 centimeters tall Lee Ho-jae overcame a competition with goalkeeper Kim Dong-joon, and Jeong Jae-hee shook the net with a half volley shot. Referee Kim Jong-hyuk admitted the score after an on-field review. 메이저사이트

It was a collaboration between the two players during extra time in the second half of two consecutive games. Lee Ho-jae and Jung Jae-hee are big and small combinations in the league. Lee Ho-jae is tall and physically fit, and has a high RBI, creating chances for his fellow strikers. On the contrary, Jung is not tall, but he also plays the role of troubleshooter with outstanding speed, penetration, and finishing ability. The two players displayed fantastic teamwork again on the day, giving the team a win.

After the first goal, Pohang scored an additional goal with Lee Ho-jae’s header and Baek Sung-dong’s finishing touch. Pohang, which showed its tenacity to win until just before the end of the game, is moving up to second place in the league and shaking the game early in the season.
