Hwang In-beom (30), a key midfielder for the South Korean national football team, not only lifted the championship trophy in his official debut match for FC Porto but also made a distinct impression at the post-match celebration party in the locker room.

Portuguese media outlet O Jogo reported on the 2nd (Korean time) that "Hwang In-beom, who transferred from Feyenoord, played his official debut match for Porto, and Porto defeated Torreense 1-0." The report added, "Even at the celebration party held in the locker room after the match, Hwang was one of the players leading the atmosphere."

The media also introduced a video posted by FC Porto forward Borja Sainz on his social media.

In the video, Hwang In-beom danced to Psy's hit song 'Gangnam Style,' sung by his Porto teammates, savoring the joy of victory. As Hwang performed the signature 'horse-riding dance' move from 'Gangnam Style,' his teammates clapped and sang even louder. Though appearing slightly shy with a smile, Hwang naturally mingled with his teammates.

Despite joining the club only 12 days ago, he had already established himself as a mood-maker in the Porto locker room.

On this day, Porto secured a 1-0 victory over SCU Torreense (Second Division) at Estádio Cidade de Coimbra in Coimbra, Portugal, in the 2026 SuperTaça Cândido de Oliveira (Portuguese Super Cup).

Porto broke the deadlock with a winning goal by Victor Prohota in the 38th minute of the first half. Prohota connected with a cross from Pepe on the flank with a precise header shot, sending the ball into the net.

The Portuguese Super Cup is a tournament where the previous season's Primeira Liga champion and the Taça de Portugal (FA Cup) winner face off.

Porto finished last season's Primeira Liga with 28 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses (88 points), claiming the title ahead of rivals Sporting CP and Benfica.

Torreense, a Second Division club, also caused an upset by defeating Sporting 2-1 in last season's FA Cup final, securing their first-ever championship since the club's founding.

In this clash between two champions, Porto emerged victorious. Porto claimed its 25th Portuguese Super Cup title overall and increased its total count of major tournament trophies to 88.

Founded in 1893, Porto is considered one of Portugal's prestigious clubs alongside Benfica and Sporting. With the 2025-2026 Primeira Liga title, they secured their 31st league championship overall. This was their first league trophy since the 2021-2022 season, four years later.

The match was even more special for Hwang In-beom. Having left Feyenoord and transferred to Porto on the 21st last month, Hwang started the game from the bench on this day. He was substituted into the match in the 28th minute of the second half, making his official debut for Porto.

Although his playing time was short, he left a clear impression. Over 17 minutes, Hwang recorded a 100% pass completion rate (5 attempts), created one chance, and registered one shot on target.

Especially in the final moments of the second half, he unleashed a powerful shot from outside the penalty box, threatening Torreense's goal. Although the opposing goalkeeper managed to make a difficult save, preventing it from becoming a debut goal, the scene highlighted Hwang's bold shooting ability.

Portuguese public broadcaster RTP also focused on this moment, reporting that "Hwang In-beom forced the opposing goalkeeper into a difficult save."

Hwang In-beom first greeted Porto home fans during a pre-season friendly match against Aston Villa on the 27th last month. He then made his official debut in the Portuguese Super Cup and embraced his first championship trophy just 12 days after joining the club.
