Stephane Mugosa (34, Montenegro), a "legendary striker" of Incheon United in the K-League 1, has risen to 10th place in the K-League 1 overall score.

Mugosa shook the opponent's net with a powerful right-footed shot in the 42nd minute in the third round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 away game against the Pohang Steelers at Pohang Steelyard on the 15th.

Mugosa, who overcame the competition with the opposing defender on the right side of the penalty box, was blocked by the goalkeeper's first shot, but finished with a right footed shot again.

With the score on the day, Mugosa scored 88 goals in the K League 1, moving from 10th place tied with Jeong Jo-guk (87 goals) to 10th place alone. Including the K-League 2 (20 goals), Mugosa's total score in the K-League 1 and K-League 2 is 108 goals (16 assists) in 214 games.

Mugosa, who joined Incheon in 2018, has scored double-digit points for three consecutive seasons, including 19 goals from the first season of the K League. Since then, he has scored 14 goals in the 2022 season and 15 goals in the 2024 season, respectively.

Mugosa, who was unable to laugh due to his team's second-division relegation even after becoming the top scorer in the K League 1 in the 2024 season, scored 20 goals in the K League 2 last season and became the top scorer in the K League 1 and K League 2 for the second consecutive year, making him the best striker in K League history.

He continues to accompany Incheon this season, but he scored his first field goal on the same day despite suffering from terrible "bone bad luck" at the beginning of the season and has two goals (1 assist) in the opening three games.

Mugosa, who ranked 10th in the K League 1 total score alone, can fully aim to reach the top 5 this season.

It is only four goals behind Yun Sang-cheol and Kim Eun-joong (92 goals), who are tied for eighth place, and only five goals behind Santos and Woo Sung-yong (93 goals), who are tied for sixth place.

It is 12 goals behind Cesinha (Daegu FC, 100 goals), who is ranked fifth alone, and Cesinha is unable to add points as his team belongs to K League 2, which is a gap that Mugosa can fully seek to turn the tables.

Lee Dong-gook scored 213 goals in the K League 1 alone, followed by Dejan (184 goals) and Kim Shin-wook (116 goals). In fourth place is Joo Min-kyu (Daejeon Hana Citizen), an active player with 106 goals.

Among the top 10 goals scored in the K League 1, Mugosa is the second highest after Dejan (0.52) in scoring per game (0.49).
