Gangwon FC, the leader of the professional soccer league K League 1 (1st division), has won four games in a row and has reached 50 points. Gangwon, which tied the team’s single-season record for most points in just 27 games since its founding, is on track to win the championship for the first time ever.
Gangwon, led by coach Yoon Jung-hwan, won a comeback victory over Gwangju FC 3-2 in the 27th round home game of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 held at Gangneung Stadium on the 18th.
In front of a record-breaking 13,170 spectators for a home game this season, Gangwon staged a dramatic comeback by scoring three goals after conceding two.
Gangwon, on a four-game winning streak, recorded 15 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, reaching 50 points in 27 games.
This is the second time that Gangwon, which has participated in the K-League since 2009, has achieved 50 points in the first division, following 2019 (14 wins, 8 draws, 16 losses, 50 points). If they add just one more point, they will break the record for the most points in a single season in the first division.
He has already broken the record for most wins in a single season. The previous record was 14 wins set in 2012, 2019, and 2022.
Gangwon, who barely managed to survive last year after going through the promotion playoffs, has completely transformed in just one season. They have the power to turn around games that seemed difficult to win, and they have also acquired a fiery offense. Gangwon has recently scored a whopping 13 goals during their four-game winning streak.
Gangwon’s highest ranking in the first division was 6th, but if they continue to do so, they can easily go beyond that and even challenge for the championship.
Gangwon is also in a good position because its rivals are faltering. 2nd place Gimcheon Sangmu (46 points), 3rd place Ulsan HD (45 points), and 4th place Pohang Steelers (44 points) have clearly been on a downward trend with 1 win and 3 losses in the last 4 games. In addition, the gap with 5th place Suwon FC and 6th place FC Seoul (both 42 points) has narrowed, making it difficult to maintain their current position.
Gangwon, who is having the best season, is facing a crisis and an opportunity. Gangwon will start with an away game against Seoul on the 24th, and then face Suwon FC (home), Ulsan, and Pohang (all away) in that order. If they continue their upward trend and accumulate points in these four games, they can gain momentum in their challenge for the championship.
