Kang Hyun-je (24), who scored his debut goal in his debut match at Seoul E-Land, was selected as the MVP in the fifth round of Hana Bank's K League 2026.
The Korea Professional Football Federation announced in a press release on the 31st that Kang Hyun-je was selected as the MVP of the fifth round of the K League 2.
Kang Hyun-je scored one goal and one assist in the match between Daegu FC and E-Land at Daegu iM Bank Park on the 29th, leading the team to a 3-1 victory.
In the match, Kang Hyun-je scored the first goal in the 14th minute of the first half by connecting the ball dropped by Kim Oh-kyu with a header with a non-stop shot. In the 29th minute of the first half, he helped Eidale's additional goal to solidify his spirit. In particular, Kang Hyun-je won the round MVP with a brilliant performance in his E-Land debut.
The best match in the fifth round of the K League 2 was also selected between Daegu and E-Land. Seoul E-Land led with Kang Hyun-je's first goal on the day, but continued its tight flow by giving up an equalizer to Daegu Kim Joo-gong in the 22nd minute of the first half. However, Seoul E-Land, which took the lead again with E-Dale's additional goal in the 29th minute of the first half, won 3-1 by adding Baek Ji-woong's net just before the end of the second half. Daegu fought back with Edgar and Seraphim at the forefront, but it was blocked by E-Land Min Sung-joon's good defense or the ball slightly missed the goal and swallowed the disappointment.
With the victory, E-Land faced a double celebration of being selected as the best team in the fifth round of the K League 2.
The best 11 and MVP of the K League round will be selected through quantitative and qualitative evaluation by the Technical Research Group (TSG) under the Korean Professional Football Federation's Technical Committee. TSG members assigned to K-League games in each round will select the best 11 and MOM (Man Of the Match), respectively. After that, a TSG match evaluation meeting will be held to finalize the K League 1 and 2 Best 11 of the round by combining TSG member ratings and opinions and K-League official additional data company "Vipro" ratings for players selected as the best 11 for each game. The round MVP selects the MOM of each game as a candidate group and then selects it in the same way as the best 11.
