K League 1’s 8th round took place last weekend. Hosts struggled as none of them except for FC Seoul failed to win at home.<\/p>\n

This round allowed rookies to shine. FC Seoul’s Cho Young-Wook and Hwang Ki-wook and Suwon Smasung’s Jeon Se-jin helped their teams to earn three precious points.<\/p>\n

Football Tribe Korea would like to present the best rookie as well as the best goal.<\/p>\n

1. The Best Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gangwon FC took a journey to conquer Jeonnam Dragons. Gangwon led the game as Uros Deric begged a brace on 7 and 14 minutes.<\/p>\n

In the 33rd minutes, Diego earned a free kick near the corner of the box.\u00a0Jung Seok-hwa\u00a0and Jung Seung-yong\u00a0were getting prepared.<\/p>\n

Jung Seok-hwa, after Jung Seung-yong\u00a0ran past to fake, took a right-footed shot which got past Jeonnam’s goalkeeper and found the right corner of the net.<\/p>\n

WIth this beautiful free kick goal, Gangwon made it impossible for Jeonnam to recover, and earned three precious points.<\/p>\n

2. The Best Rookie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many newbies received the spotlight in this round. Among them,\u00a0Cho Young-Wook was even more outstanding.<\/p>\n

Though Cho has proven himself in youth teams, FC Seoul’s slump gave him\u00a0few opportunities only. However, as Seoul desperately needed a chance to flip the script, head coach Hwang Seon-hong decided to take the risk and let Cho play.<\/p>\n

This decision was right. Throughout the match, Cho, who was born in 1999, led Seoul’s attack, breaking through Daegu FC’s defences.<\/p>\n

This young forward was involved in goals too. On 12 minutes, Cho rounded Daegu’s defenders and\u00a0passed the ball to Evandro who then scored an opener.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the 79th minute, Cho made a left-footed cross, which was deflected by Daegu’s defender Kim Jin-hyeok and found the net.<\/p>\n

Cho’s performance did not only lead the team’s victory but also excited fans who were unhappy with Seoul’s current form.<\/p>\n
