Match report

Seoul completed a comfortable victory over Gwangju at the Football Stadium with a 5-2 scoreline in the K-League 1 regular season on Saturday. The visitors took control early and never looked back, moving clear at the top of the table in the process.

And here's the thing about the opening exchanges — Seoul were sharp from the whistle. J. Son opened the scoring in the 15th minute before Kim Jin-Su doubled the advantage 7 minutes later. Gwangju responded through Choi Kyoung-Rok in the 34th minute, but then drama unfolded.

Kim Woo-jin picked up a yellow card in the 38th minute and was then sent off just two minutes later for a second booking. By then Seoul had extended their lead through Lee Seung-Mo on the stroke of half-time, and the home side were suddenly playing with ten men.

Gwangju refused to lie down. Shin Chang-Moo scored twice in quick succession in the 47th and 48th minutes to make it interesting, but Ahn Young-Kyu was then shown a second red card in the 56th minute. Seoul pulled away again with goals from Jeong Seung-Won and Anderson Oliveira.

The statistics tell a story of dominance. Seoul had 104 attacks to Gwangju's 73 and registered 13 shots on target against just 6. Possession was evenly matched at 51-49, but the visitors converted their opportunities far more effectively.

The result leaves Seoul top of the K-League 1 with 42 points from 19 games, while Gwangju remain in 12th place with just 10 points. The visitors have now won 13 of their 19 matches this season, a run that continues to set them apart.
