Ahn Ju-wan, a 2009-born rookie for Seoul Land (17), has set a new record as the youngest player to score multiple goals in K League history.

On the 4th, Ahn scored two goals in the away match against Chungbuk Cheongju at Cheongju Comprehensive Stadium in Round 25 of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2026', leading his team to a 2-0 victory.

Starting the match, Ahn connected with Eulher's cross in the 45th minute of the first half with a precise header to score the opening goal, then completed his multi-goal feat by curling a right-footed shot into the left side of the penalty box in the 49th minute.

As a result, Ahn Ju-wan, born on April 14, 2009, became the youngest player to score multiple goals in K League history at the age of 17 years, 4 months, and 21 days. This surpasses both the all-time K League record (Lee Hyun-seung of Jeonbuk, 17 years, 7 months, 15 days in 2006) and the league-specific record (Yang Min-hyeok of Gangwon, 18 years, 3 months, 10 days in 2024).

Having debuted in professional football this season, Ahn Ju-wan has shattered records for the youngest appearance in K League 2 (16 years, 11 months, 7 days), the youngest goal scorer overall, and now the youngest multi-goal scorer.

After the match, Ahn Ju-wan said, "We haven't been winning often lately and have conceded the opening goal every time, so I'm truly happy to score first and secure a scoreless victory."

Head coach Kim Do-gyun also celebrated a double triumph. With this win, Coach Kim reached 100 career professional wins (59 draws, 88 losses), making him the 23rd manager in K League history to achieve this milestone. "It was an important away game, and the players performed exactly as prepared," Kim said. "We got the desired goal in the first half and kept a clean sheet, so I'm grateful."

Meanwhile, Seoul Land, which has climbed to second place in the league with nine consecutive matches without defeat (five wins, four draws) since the World Cup break, will continue their title race by hosting two home games against Suwon Samsung on the 12th and Daegu FC on the 19th.
