South Korea's national soccer team striker Oh Hyun-kyu (25, Besiktashi JK) restarted his scoring shot in three games. Including his former team KRC Genk (Belgium), he has scored 15 goals and achieved a personal career high this season alone.

Oh Hyun-kyu started in the 27th round home game of the 2025-2026 Turkiye professional football Schieffer League against Khampasha at Vodafone Park in Istanbul, Turkiye on the 20th (Korea time) and scored a valuable first goal to lead his team to a 2-1 victory.

Oh Hyun-kyu, the front-line striker, shook the opponent's net in the 11th minute of the first half. Orkun Kökci connected a cross from the left side to the gate with a right non-stop shot. He neutralized both the opposing defender and the goalkeeper with sharp penetration and accurate shooting.

Oh Hyun-kyu, who accumulated four goals and one assist in five games, including three consecutive goals, immediately after his transfer to Besiktashi, resumed his scoring after three consecutive games. He has five goals and one assist in eight official games since his transfer to Besiktashi.

Oh Hyun-kyu, who moved to Besiktashi after scoring 10 goals and 3 assists from Genk, scored 15 goals this season alone, setting a new personal goal record in a season beyond the 14 goals he recorded as a member of Suwon Samsung in the 2022 season. Oh Hyun-kyu, who has since advanced to Europe, scored seven goals for Celtic (Scotland) in the 2022-2023 season and five goals in the 2023-2024 season, respectively, and scored 12 goals in the 2024-2025 season after Genk's transfer.

In addition to the valuable first goal on the day, Oh Hyun-kyu played the full season in the 90th minute, recording two shots and one successful dribble. In the competition between ground balls (five times successful) and aerial balls (one time successful), he also showed a 50% winning rate and got four fouls. He did not back down at all despite the opponent's rough attempt at a war of nerves and responded with a smile, making headlines there.

With this performance, Oh Hyun-kyu scored 7.6 points on the soccer statistics media "Sofa Score," ranking second in the team after Kökci. The Potmob rating was the sixth in the team with a score of 7.5, but it was the second highest among the strikers after Kökci, who scored one goal.

Besiktashi, who led Oh Hyun-kyu's first goal and Kökci's winning goal in the extra time of the first half, beat Käkci 2-1 to win the league's second consecutive game. Besikta City, which has 52 points (15 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses), maintained a gap of 8 points with third-place Travjonspor (60 points).

Oh Hyun-kyu, who finished his team's schedule before the A-match break, will move to London, England next week to join Hong Myung-bo Team. The team will hunt for A-match goals through two consecutive warm-up matches against Ivory Coast (London, England) at 11 p.m. on the 28th and Austria (Vin, Austria) at 3:45 a.m. on the 1st of next month.
