FC Seoul overwhelmed FC Anyang 7-0 in their K League 1 derby on August 22, matching Seoulโs club record for goals in a league match. Five of the goals came before halftime, the most by one K League 1 team in a first half since promotion and relegation were introduced in 2013.
The win took league-leading Seoul to 50 points from 24 matches and widened its advantage over second place. The score also adds another chapter to a derby shaped by the history of Seoulโs predecessor club moving from Anyang to the capital in 2004. This time, the sporting argument was one-sided from the opening half.
