Oh Hyun-gyu started in the 2026-2027 Süper Lig 5th round home game against Erzurumspor held at the Tyuprash Stadium in Turkye Istanbul on the 12th (Korean time) and assisted Leandro Trossar's additional goal that put the team ahead 2-0 in the 27th minute of the first half.

Trossar hit the goalpost with a right-footed sliding shot.

In the previous 4th round match against Fenerbahce, he only played about 5 minutes as a substitute.
This is my first time playing full time in the league.
