National team defender Seol Young-woo (28) scored a spectacular late goal, leading Crvena Zvezda to their ninth consecutive league title.
On the 27th (Korea time), Zvezda secured a 3-0 victory over Partizan in the third round of the 2025-2026 Serbian SuperLiga Championship home match held at Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia.
Starting as a right-back, Seol Young-woo scored the goal that sealed the match in the 42nd minute of the second half while his team was leading 2-0. Participating in the attack, he penetrated into the penalty box, perfectly deceived the defender with a left-foot feint, and then tapped it in with his right foot to shake the net.
This was his second league goal of the season, coming approximately six months after his last goal against Napredak in October last year. With this goal, Seol Young-woo recorded 2 goals and 6 assists in 47 official matches this season.
Thanks to this victory, Zvezda accumulated 82 points (26 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses). They extended their lead over second-place Partizan (65 points) to 17 points, securing the league title regardless of the results of the remaining four matches. Consequently, Zvezda has successfully won the SuperLiga for nine consecutive seasons since the 2017-2018 season.
The Serbian SuperLiga consists of 16 teams playing a regular season in a home-and-away format, followed by a split into upper and lower halves (8 teams each) for an additional seven matches. Zvezda demonstrated overwhelming strength by securing the title just three matches into the Championship round.
Seol Young-woo lifted the league trophy for the second consecutive year, following his debut season last year. He also became the second Korean player to experience a league title win in Europe this season, following Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who secured the Bundesliga title early.
