‘Climala winning goal’ Seoul beat Jeju 2-1 and won by itself with ‘7 points’ (comprehensive)

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-ho = FC Seoul, the leader in professional soccer K-League 1, defeated Jeju SK FC, the 'difficult enemy', and reduced the magic number needed to achieve its first championship in 10 years to '7'.

Seoul won 2-1 in the home game of the 31st round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 against Jeju held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th.

As a result, Seoul (65 points) continued its lead by widening the point gap with 2nd place Ulsan HD (47 points), which had played one less game, to 18 points.

If Seoul wins 7 points in the remaining 7 games, it will secure its 7th K-League 1 championship on its own, regardless of the results of other teams.

On the other hand, Jeju (46 points) ended its recent 5-game undefeated streak (3 wins, 2 draws) and maintained 4th place.

Seoul and Jeju attacked the opposing team until the middle of the first half, but were unable to capitalize on the opportunity to score as the game was not finished.

Jeju showed the decisive situation first.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Kim Shin-jin's bold mid-range shot slightly missed Seoul's left goal post, and a minute later, Jeju left a mark when Italo's pass to the left of the penalty arc allowed Park Soo-bin to hit the crossbar with a left-footed shot.

The two teams suffered from injury side by side.

Seoul's 'midfield core' Lee Seung-mo was replaced in the 35th minute of the first half after complaining of pain in his right knee during a goal contest, and Jeju's 'midfield coordinator' Italo also fell to the ground due to thigh pain in the extra time of the first half and was replaced by Kwon Ki-min at the start of the second half.

Seoul broke the tense ‘balance of spirit’ first.

Seoul took the lead in the first minute of the second half when Choi Jun's cross from the right side of the penalty area was turned in by Moon Seon-min with his right foot in front of the goal area to score the first goal.

Jeju Island did not fall easily.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Jeju balanced the game by trapping Kim Ryun-seong's cross from the left side with his chest in front of the left side of the goal area and scoring the equalizer with a spectacular right-footed scissors kick.

Goal scorer Klimala emerged as Seoul’s ‘victory fairy’.

In the 33rd minute of the second half, Seoul completed a 2-1 victory by converting a space pass from behind to Moon Seon-min's header from midfield and sending the ball forward, and Klimala rushed in quickly and scored the winning goal with a right-footed shot from the front of the penalty area.

Moon Seon-min recorded multiple attack points with 1 goal and 1 assist, and Klimalsa, who scored his 14th league goal, was the leading scorer.

At Gimcheon Sports Complex, FC Anyang defeated Gimcheon Sangmu 1-0.

Anyang (41 points), who had an exciting second win in a row, moved up one place to 8th place and reduced the point gap with 6th place Daejeon Hana Citizens (43 points), which is the Maginot Line of Final A (1st to 6th places), to 2.

Anyang completed their victory in the 37th minute of the first half when Yukic dropped the ball with his head from the left side of the penalty area, and Knezevic rushed in and headed it in from the front of the goal area to score.
