Pohang Steelers lost 0-4 in Game 7 of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage in the 2024-2025 season against Kawasaki Frontale (Japan) at Pohang Steelyard on the 11th.
Pohang's loss put its chances of advancing to the ACLE round of 16 tournaments in the fog. There is an away game against Johor Darlle Takjim (Malaysia), the final game of the league stage, but it is difficult to guarantee victory in Malaysia. In order to finish the league stage in the top eight to advance to the round of 16, we need to keep an eye on the results of other teams' games and seek victory until the final match.
Pohang pushed Kawasaki from the beginning of the day. However, Kawasaki's counterattack and Pohang's mistake overlapped and shook. After allowing Yamada Shin to score the first goal in the 38th minute of the first half, Aspro was sent off in the 43rd minute due to excessive fouls. Despite the numerical inferiority, he tried to fight back in the second half, but Kawasaki added three goals and collapsed.
Coach Park Tae-ha said, `It's the first season at home, and the game ended disappointingly. I have nothing to say to the fans. Inexcusable, it was a complete defeat. I'll make sure I'm ready for the upcoming opening game, with all my players and diagnosing again in the first game of the season," he said.
He also expressed regret over Aspro's exit. Coach Park said, `Leaving was the biggest variable. It's something that can come out during the game, but I think I was a little complacent. Players are also responsible. I have a responsibility, too. Everything I had prepared was to fly away. I will tell the players thoroughly so that this doesn't happen next time. I'd like to think that I got a sick vaccination ahead of the opening. I think we need to look back on the diagnosis and mentalities of the team again."
