Pohang Steelers beat Gangwon FC to set off their first win of the season.

Pohang won 1-0 thanks to Lee Ho-jae's winning goal in the second round of Hana Bank K League 1 2026 against Gangwon at Pohang Steelyard on the 28th.

Pohang, which had no victory with three draws and one loss since the opening, won in five games. It rose from 11th to 7th with six points. On the other hand, Gangwon ranked 11th with three points, falling into a swamp of no wins (three draws and two losses) in the opening five games.

Originally, the game was scheduled to be held on the 7th, but it was postponed due to Gangwon's schedule to play the round of 16 of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the 2025-2026 season.

The tight flow was broken only midway through the second half. In the 26th minute of the second half, Lee Ho-jae calmly shook the net with a right-footed shot as Park Chan-yong's header flowed after hitting Gangwon goalkeeper Park Chung-hyo. It is Lee Ho-jae's second goal this season.

Pohang put in the remaining inspection Ki Sung-yueng and Tranjiska to solidify it, and did not lose a point.

Shortly before the end of the game, Eo Jung-won won a penalty kick, and Pohang seemed to have a chance to score an additional goal, but the decision was reversed after VAR, and the game ended with a 1-0 Pohang victory.
