FC Seoul striker Klimala (28) delivered a thrilling impression of scoring a theater goal.

Seoul won 1-0 with Klimala's theater goal in extra time in the second half in the seventh round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2026" home game against Jeonbuk Hyundai at 2 p.m. on the 11th at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Seoul, which continued its undefeated streak in the opening period, led the league with 16 points (5 wins and 1 draw). Jeonbuk, whose three-game winning streak has been dampened, ranked second with 11 points (3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses).

It meant more than one win for Seoul. This is because Seoul finally ended the "Sangam Jinx," which failed to beat Jeonbuk at home for about nine years and 3205 days after winning 2-1 in July 2017. Until just before, Seoul was inferior to Jeonbuk at home with three draws and 11 losses in 14 games.

It was simply a theater win and Klimala was at the center of the victory. The game, which was likely to end without scoring, was scored when Klimala fell and shot a ball that Yazan stabbed into the door from the left side of the penalty box in extra time in the second half. Sangambeol was filled with hot shouts.

Klimala said in a post-match press conference, "Unexpectedly, we played a long pass-oriented game due to Jeonbuk's rough play. However, the players were mentally armed and held on without losing a point, and they were able to win by taking advantage of the last chance," he said.

He also did not forget to thank Yazan for helping him score the winning goal. "Before coming to the conference, I promised to make sure to tell Yazan, 'I scored a goal thanks to you,'" Klimala said. "I'm so grateful," he said, looking back on the scoring situation, "I was sure it wasn't offside, and I confirmed to each other that there was no foul during the competition with Kim Jin-soo, so I didn't worry about canceling the score at all."

"The players' responsibility as a whole has grown a lot," said Klimala, who was disappointed to have not played properly for more than six months due to injury. "Lyngaard tended to rely on Jesse (Lyngaard), a good player last year. But Jesse can't do magic every game. This year, he stressed that the biggest difference is that everyone takes responsibility in their position rather than leaning on a specific player.

The driving force behind him this season is the coaching staff who trusted him. Klimala confessed, "I was very hurt and depressed because I couldn't meet the expectations of the coach and the general manager who brought me last year." "Even though it is not an easy choice, I have a great heart to do better for the coach who does not spare praise and encouragement every week. I want to prove on the ground that I am committed to the team," he said with strength.

Klimala, who scored her fourth goal, also entered the race to become the top scorer. "As a striker, it is natural to be the top scorer, but I have never had a good result when I focused on my personal goals in the past," he said. "The most important thing is to give my teammates and coaching staff the belief that I am well-melt into the team and committed to it. "I think we can check whether we are the top scorers at the end of the season," he said, showing a mature position.
