K League 1 Matchday 3, or days of goalkeepers

2. The Best Save

Goalkeepers shined through in this round. Gangwon FC’s Lee Bum-young recorded seven saves, leading the team’s 2:1 victory. Incheon United’s Lee Tae-hee also protected the team from defeat with nine saves. FC Seoul lost, but Yang Han-bin proved himself to be one of the best goalkeepers in K League.

However, the best goalkeeper of the round is Jo Hyun-woo from Daegu FC. In the second minute, Daegu’s defenders allowed Moon Seon-min to intercept the ball near the box, and attempted a lobbed shot. Jo however did not allow after narrowing down the angle. With this crucial save, Daegu managed to earn one point away.
