Professional football K League 1 (Won) native goaltenders are competing for the top scorer.
Ulsan Hyundai’s Joo Min-kyu and FC Seoul’s Na Sang-ho are the main characters.
Attention is focusing on whether both players will be able to score again in this weekend’s game.
Na Sang-ho of FC Seoul, who scored in two consecutive games against Suwon FC, which won 7-2 on the 12th.
He showed a calm finish that did not miss the opponent’s goalkeeper’s mistake in the first half, and split the net with a powerful right-footed mid-range shot in the second half.
Na Sang-ho, who had been silent for about two months since the match against Gwangju and scored 11 goals this season with the multi-goal, tied for the lead in scoring alongside Joo Min-kyu.
After the game, Na Sang-ho said he wants to compete with Joo Min-kyu until the end of the season to compete for the top scorer among Korean players.
Joo Min-kyu, who returned to Ulsan for the first time in four years this year, is keeping his pride as a native goalkeeper this season.
Having not missed the top scorer since the beginning of the season, he is leading Ulsan’s lead as the league’s most scoring team.
He gave up the title to Cho Kyu-sung last season, but if he scores the most goals this season, he will be the second top scorer in his career since the year before last.
<Joo Min-kyu / Ulsan Hyundai striker> “I think I should be a good player to match the winning team, so if I’m a striker, I’m naturally greedy for being the top scorer…”
The two players will play away games against the league’s lower-ranked teams this weekend.
Na Sang-ho will challenge for three consecutive goals against Gangwon, and Joo Min-kyu will start a goal hunt to take the sole lead in scoring against Suwon Samsung.
