adminLee In-jong-kyu and Na Sang-ho share top scoring honors with 11 goals apiece
Interested in becoming the third consecutive homegrown scorer in the K League
“I want to create a scenario where Korean players compete against each other.”
It will be interesting to see if the K League can produce a homegrown goal scorer for the third year in a row.
Currently, the most prolific goal scorers in the K League 1 are Lee In-gyu (Ulsan) and Na Sang-ho (Seoul). They are tied for the league lead with 11 goals apiece.
At the beginning of the season, Na Sang-ho was on a goal-scoring tear and took the lead. However, after a two-month hiatus, Lee In-jong-kyu surged to the top of the leaderboard, and Na Sang-ho rejoined him with a multi-goal performance in a home match against Suwon FC on December 12.
In the past, foreign strikers have dominated the top scoring positions in the K League. It was the fourth consecutive year that a foreigner was the top scorer after Chung Joguk (then of Gwangju) won the title in 2016.
Then, Cho Kyu-sung (Meatwillan) became the first Korean to win the top scorer title in five years in the 2020 season, and then last season, Cho Kyu-sung (Incheon Mugosa) took over the top scorer title after the previous top scorer abruptly moved to Bissell Kobe (Japan).
Two homegrown strikers continue to lead the scoring race this season. However, they are closely followed by Bako (Ulsan – 10 goals) and Ras (Suwon FC – 8 goals), so the competition between natives and foreigners will be fierce until the end of the season.
Na Sang-ho, who became the joint top scorer with a multi-goal performance against Suwon FC last season, made no secret of his desire to be the top scorer. In particular, he expressed his desire to compete with Lee In-gyu to the end.
“Being the top scorer motivates me. Min-gyu is a very good scorer, and I want to follow him diligently and create a scenario where Korean players compete for the top scorer.” “I hope Min-gyu will also try his best and compete for the top scorer as well,” he said.온라인카지노
Min and Sang-ho Na, who are tied for the top scoring honors, will face off again this weekend.
Inhabigyu will be on the hunt for a goal against bottom-placed Suwon Samseong on the 15th, while Na Sang-ho will be looking for his 12th goal against Gangwon in Gangneung on the same day.
It will be interesting to see if the Koreans can overcome the stiff competition from foreign players to become the top scorers once again this season.
