Seongnam FC 2:1 Pocheon FC — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Gabriel Honório was the standout performer as Seongnam FC edged Pocheon FC 2-1 after extra time in the FA Cup Round 2. The scoreline flattered the underdogs in the opening hour, as Pocheon had taken a 23rd-minute lead and looked comfortable before the home side dragged themselves back into it.

The turning point came just after the hour mark when Rodrigo Angelotti equalised for Seongnam in the 65th minute, dragging a side that had been second best back onto level terms. That forced extra time, and with the game deep into the 116th minute, Seongnam struck the winner to complete a dramatic turnaround, punishing Pocheon for failing to add to their early advantage.

The statistics tell a story of a contest that was tighter than the final score suggests, with Pocheon edging possession 51% to 49% and winning the corner count 11 to 9, shading control without ever making it count on the scoresheet. Gabriel Honório was the standout player with a 7.88 rating, anchoring the Seongnam defence throughout the 120 minutes. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Pocheon, but the result did not confirm that prediction, as Seongnam capitalised on their one clear chance in extra time to progress. There is no next fixture scheduled.
