Gangwon FC — Seongnam FC, FA Cup

Gangwon and Songnam played out a 0:0 draw in the Round of 16 of the Cup of England on 19 August 2026. Neither side managed to break through in regular time, and the tie was decided by a penalty shootout. Gangwon held 58 per cent of possession, while Songnam created fewer chances but defended resolutely.

Yellow cards came at 23 minutes for Gangwon, 33 minutes for Songnam, and a second for the visitors at 90+14 minutes. The game remained cagey throughout, with Gangwon registering four shots on target to Songnam's none. By then the pattern was clear — one side attacking, the other sitting deep.

The penalty shootout began at 120+1 minutes and dragged on until 120+6. Gangwon scored their first two penalties before missing two in a row. Songnam kept their composure, scoring four of their six attempts. Gangwon's third goal came late in the sequence, but the visitors sealed victory with their final spot-kick.

Statistics told a familiar story: Gangwon dominated possession and created more attacks, but Songnam made them work for everything. The hosts logged 166 attacks compared to 105, while corners stood at six to three. Shot accuracy favoured Gangwon, but conversion never materialised.

Gangwon arrive fresh from a 3:2 win over Ulsan Hyundai on 16 August, though they have dropped points in two of their last five. Songnam lost their most recent outing 1:2 to Paju City but followed it with a 3:2 victory over Cheonan. The result moves Songnam through while Gangwon's campaign comes to an end.
