Hello everyone! We’re continuing our review of Seoul’s matches from Season 27, and this time we have two games to cover. The first is the Matchday 5 fixture in the SSL Minor League’s Second Division against Athênai F.C., which ended in a 0–0 draw.
Let’s take a look at the match statistics:
Shots - Seoul: 25, Athênai: 6
On Target - Seoul: 6, Athênai: 1
xG - Seoul: 3.09, Athênai: 0.69
Possession - Seoul: 44%, Athênai: 56%
Passes Completed - Seoul: 84% (321/382), Athênai: 87% (413/477)
We held a commanding advantage in terms of chances created, but Athênai had the edge in overall possession; that likely explains how they managed to defend effectively and hold us to a draw. I played well, earning a 7.0 rating and covering 14.2 km during the match. The result is disappointing given how the game played out, but we have only ourselves to blame.
Next up was the SSL Cup first-round match against Hollywood FC, which we lost heavily—1–5—as was to be expected. We did manage to score one goal, however; Dennis van Huntelrooy found the net in the 85th minute, assisted by Kim Heung-Min.
Match statistics:
Shots - Seoul: 9, Hollywood: 29
On Target - Seoul: 3, Hollywood: 10
xG - Seoul: 1.69, Hollywood: 4.75
Possession - Seoul: 45%, Hollywood: 55%
Passes Completed - Seoul: 79% (294/370), Hollywood: 83% (361/434)
Just like the scoreline, the statistics reveal Hollywood's overwhelming dominance in the match, making the result entirely logical. I performed reasonably well, earning a 6.1 rating and covering 15.6 km over the course of the game. Despite the outcome, it was an interesting and valuable experience for us.
That’s all for the match coverage today, thanks for reading, and see you in the next articles!
