FC Anyang striker Choi Geon-ju (27) has scored the fastest goal in K League 1 history.

Anyang leads 1-0 in the first half of their home match against Kim Cheon (SVP) in the 14th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2026' held at Anyang Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on the 13th.

The home team Anyang deployed a 4-3-3 formation. The front three of Ailton, Kim Woon, and Choi Geon-ju led the attack, with Kim Jung-hyun, Mateus, and Han Ga-ram positioned in the second line. The back four consisted of Kang Ji-hoon, Kwon Kyung-won, Kim Young-chan, and Lee Tae-hee. Goalkeeper Kim Da-sol wore the gloves.

The visiting team Gimcheon lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. Lee Geon-hee and Park Se-jin formed the striking duo, while Kim Ju-chan, Lee Soobin, Im Deok-geun, and Yoon Jae-seok were placed in the second line. The back four comprised Park Jin-seong, Lee Chan-wook, Byun Jun-su, and Hong Si-hoo. Baek Jong-beom guarded the goal.

Anyang scored the opening goal just 10 seconds after kick-off. After the referee's whistle, goalkeeper Kim Da-sol launched a long kick toward Gimcheon's half, which reached Kim Woon's head and was passed to Ailton at the front. The ball, cleared by a Gimcheon defender, then surged toward the goal and found Choi Geon-ju, who fell while striking it into the net.

With this goal, Choi Geon-ju set a new record for the fastest goal in K League 1 history. The previous record was held by Gustavo, a striker for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in 2023, who scored in 11 seconds against FC Seoul.
