Seoul scored 4-1 in the home game against Pohang Steelers in the 21st round of Hana Bank 1 2025 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on July 29 at 7 pm.
Despite the cheering boycott of Seoul fans, Kim Ki -dong and the team scored the first goal. In the 15th minute, Lucas Silva dribbled from the left to the Pohang penalty box and caught Pohang defender Park Seung -wook’s feet and declared Seoul’s penalty kick. In the 16th minute, Lynn Guard was a kicker and pushed it to the right foot in the lower right of the goal to create a 1-0 lead in Seoul.
In the 28th minute, Pohang midfielder Oberdan was directly sent out after the VAR reading by price of Hwang Do -yun with his elbow during his competition with Hwang Do -yun. In the 32th minute, Lucas Silva’s right footed score, which was passed by Hwang Do-yun from the left side of the Pohang box, was ahead of Seoul 2-0.
Seoul scored the third goal before the end of the first half. In the first half of the 3rd minute, Hwang In -jae’s kick mistake was cut off, and after the pass continued, the dax, who received the pass from the front of the goal, wrapped the left -footed shot to the left. In the second half of the 29th minute, Lee Dong -hee’s heading goal broke out in a left corner attack in Pohang. Rather, in the second half of the 39th minute, Klimala’s right footed net gap was widened to 4-1.
Seoul fans, who learned that Ki Sung -yong was leaving through the official announcement of the Seoul club on the 25th, expressed anger in various ways.
Two hours before the kickoff, the Seoul World Cup Stadium was fluttered in the north side of the Seoul World Cup Stadium, “Legendary clubs, guardian gods who lost their pride, incompetence, disadvantage, and soil FC SEOUL funeral.” In front of it was the incense and soju used during the funeral.
For Seoul fans, Ki Sung -yong is a shocking news. Ki Sung -yong made his professional debut in Seoul in 2007, and except for overseas days such as Celtic, Swansea, Sunderland, and Newcastle, K Liger is a club legend who played 218 games in Seoul only in Seoul. It can be called a symbol for Seoul fans.

Kim Ki -dong said before the game, “All the decisions are not right, but my faith for Seoul is firm. I think it’s the reason for the fans’ laughter. I will tell you heavy words to Seoul fans who are struggling with the current situation. I will show you the results from this day.”
The angry fan sentiment was not easily calmed down. The Seoul supporters of the North Korean stands shouted “Kim Ki -dong Naga” just before the game. Rather, he applauded when the Pohang lineup was called, and when the name of the Seoul lineup and Kim Ki -dong was called. Throughout the game, Kim Ki -dong and Ki Sung -yong continued. Nevertheless, Kim Ki-dong took a 4-1 victory and kept his promise before the game.
However, even after the game, Seoul fans caught Kim Ki -dong. At around 10:10 pm, he blocked the Seoul team bus that was leaving home and shouted “Kim Ki -dong.”
Kim Ki -dong came out of the bus due to the mediation of the metropolitan FC Seoul and Secretariat, but the fans continued to enter the bus. Since then, the Mapo Police Station asked fans in the car passage to move to India for safety, but the situation was so calm, but Kim came out again.
Kim said, “I’ll tell you everything at the meeting. I’m sorry.” Since then, the fans who gathered in front of the bus due to the intervention of the fan representatives were disbanded, and the ‘Virtak’, which lasted about an hour, ended around 11:10 pm.
Meanwhile, the Seoul club will hold a meeting with fans on July 1. Kim Ki -dong is expected to be a true test because it is the first place to meet fans and talk about Ki Sung -yong.
Kim Ki -dong has been a leader as a leader. Kim, who was appointed as the official headquarters of Pohang on April 23, 2019, announced that he started as a professional manager, winning 1-0 in the home game against Suwon Samsung, achieving both debut and two consecutive defeats. Kim has always posted Pohang to Final A (1-6th) by 2023, except for the 2021 season, which was the 9th place in the league. Even the 2021 season was sluggish in the league, but it was the year of the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League runner -up. In the last year of Pohang, the 2023 season, he won his K -League’s career ranks (2nd) and the FA Cup (now Korea Cup) and entered Sangam Bee as a new headquarters in Seoul.
Kim advanced to the Asian Football Federation Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the final fourth place, despite his first season in Seoul. The team tasted the sun again to the team, which was only 9-7-9-7 in the previous four seasons.
