Pohang won 2-0 at home against Gangwon FC in the 22nd round of '2024 Hana Bank K League 1' held at Pohang Steelyard on the 10th. Pohang rose to first place as Ulsan lost to Gwangju in the simultaneous game. Yoon Min-ho of Pohang exploded his K-League debut goal.
Pohang is invincible in Steelyard. The last defeat was 0-1 against Ulsan in the 21st round on July 8 of the 2023 season. Starting with a 4-2 victory over Jeju in the 24th round on July 16, 2023, it will be 10 wins and 9 draws in 19 games at home until the match against Gangwon on the same day. FC Seoul ranked first in the history of 22 matches (June 11, 2011 to August 8, 2012).
Yoon Min-ho entered as a substitute in the 23rd minute of the second half with a 1-0 lead. Yoon Min-ho exploded a net in the seventh minute of the game. Gangwon failed to properly clear the ball that flowed from the side cross. Yoon Min-ho took the ball after a physical fight and cut Gangwon's net with a turning shot.
After the game, Yoon Min-ho said, `I don't feel real. It is also the first time for a press conference. I was nervous during the interview earlier. I don't know if I can speak well because it's my first time doing this," he said with shame.
As for the goal scene, Yoon Sang gave me a cutback on the side, but he came back and spilled it. I thought I would have a teammate, but I didn't have one, so I thought I should go defend. Just in time, Jung-won helped me with the cooperation defense. Instinctively, I felt like I had to hit this."
Yoon Min-ho is from Ulsan Youth but was born in Pohang.
Yoon Min-ho said "I was born in Pohang. High school came from Ulsan, but Pohang was always in my heart. I dreamed that I would like to be that kind of player while playing at Steelyard someday. I waited for this moment. He said, "I can score a goal from Stillyard and enjoy it with the fans."
I haven't checked the video yet. Yoon Min-ho said congratulations. I think I'll watch the video before I go to sleep," he said with a smile.
