FC Seoul's "multiplayer" Jung Seung-won has been at the center of his team's victory against his former team, Daegu FC. However, his controversial ceremony after the goal heated up the stadium, raising tension between the two teams.
At a home game in the sixth round of the K League 1 held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday, Jung played a crucial role in his team's 3-2 come-from-behind victory by scoring an equalizer in the 45th minute of the second half and Moon Seon-min's come-from-behind winning goal assist in the extra time. Seoul continued its five-game unbeaten streak (three wins and two draws) to win against Daegu for the first time in two years.

Jung's equalizer ended with a spectacular volley, but his subsequent ceremony received more attention. As soon as he scored the goal, he ran toward the away stands in Daegu on the other side of the ground and performed a provocative ceremony by touching his right ear. Surprised by this, Seoul players including vice-captain Kim Jin-soo chased him, and the players of both teams got tangled up.

Jung Seung-won made his professional debut in Daegu in 2016 and played as a leading player, but the relationship was not smooth. Due to the contract issue before the 2021 season, he had to go to the Korea Professional Football Federation's salary adjustment, and he eventually moved to Suwon Samsung in the 2022 season due to controversy over the violation of quarantine rules during the season. He joined Seoul this season through Suwon FC, and was booed by Daegu fans whenever he caught the ball in the game.
After the game, Jung Seung-won explained, "There was no other reason. I didn't want to create a bad atmosphere." "I wanted to show my fans that I've grown like this. I wanted to show them that I've grown like this," he said. "I said hello well at the end, and I don't think there were any other problems."

The coaches of both teams showed different responses to the question. "Many players refrain from celebrating their own goals even when they score goals against their close friends. I don't think it's polite to the team that I played for, and I wonder why I have to go all the way to the supporters' seats," Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun said, expressing discomfort. In contrast, Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong defended Jung by saying, "He got emotional when he was booed a lot, and his desire to score a goal increased, which made him concentrate until the end." 토토사이트

Asked about the burden of future away games in Daegu, Jung Seung-won replied, "I don't care about that," and "I'll try to show a better performance."
