 K.League 1st Stage Review 2004 :: Soccerphile.com
Less than a week after the Pohang Steel Company (POSCO) was named as the most competitive steel company in the world for the third year running, the team the company finances, Pohang Steelers, proved itself to be the most competitive K-League team in the 2004 season’s first stage.
On Sunday June 27th, the Steelers clinched the first stage ‘title’ with a 1-1 draw with Gwangju in front of their delirious home fans at the Steelyard.
Pohang’s hitherto miserly defence had conceded two first half goals to the league’s top scorer, the Brazilian Mota, and Pohang’s supporters were facing the fact that they could lose everything at the end after leading for so long.

The match had originally been scheduled for 7pm at the Pohang Steelyard stadium, however a union rally by POSCO workers at the company's headquarters, situated in the same complex as the football stadium, meant that the match would be unable to go ahead at the original venue.
The Steelers opted to switch the game to the nearby Songra Stadium, however the lack of adequate floodlight facilities meant Pohang were forced to push for a change in kick-off time from 7pm to 5pm.
The match was then awarded to Pohang by default, and they were credited with a 2-0 win as per league rules.

And if the Steelers someday change their mind and start calling the symbol an apple pie, I'm sure you'll be there to "correct" the article to refer to the astroid as an apple pie.

Pohang Steelers are odds on to extend their season for the second time since the two-stage system was reintroduced in 2004.
The Steelers most recent win was an impressive 4-1 victory over Busan I’Park with Hwang Jin-sung and Koh Ki-goo causing big problems for a Busan defence that is the worst in the league.
There is still a reasonable chance that the three-time champs could win the second stage outright but the team’s away form will have to improve in order for that to happen.

Ahn Jung-hwan, who is seeking a new team to run for in Europe after his split from AC Perugia, and local talents such as Lee Dong-gook of Pohang and Ko Jong-su of Suwon, have also contributed to the popularity of the sport by creating legions of screaming female devotees.
Sports marketers, in particular, said the latest trend may be the beginning of a process that will push the professional Korean clubs out of the chronic deficits they have been trying to shake off since 1983.
The official said that although clubs usually earned from 500 million won to 1.5 billion won through these methods in the past, the sum could be doubled if they play their cards right.

A fantastic second-half strike from Baek Ji-hoon was enough for the two-time Asian club champions to seal their place in the two-legged title decider, while Seongnam booked their ticket with an identical winning margin against FC Seoul the previous day.
Suwon took the lead in spectacular fashion when Korea Republic midfielder Baek Ji-hoon picked up the ball in midfield and, with the Steelers defence expecting the 21-year-old to pass, he unleashed a thunderous shot from 25 yards that hit the crossbar before hitting the back of the net.
Pohang went close to equalising soon after when Lee Dong-guk laid the ball back to Koh Ki-goo but his shot was tipped round the post by the Suwon keeper.

Therefore, when the newly formed FC Seoul took to the pitch to play their first game against Busan I'park on 3 April 2004, there were mixed emotions as thousands of fans mourned the loss of their former club.
Last week, however, the relatively new FC Seoul won their first trophy.  An away draw with Suwon Bluewings helped them claim the league cup.  Another title, the FA Cup, is also in their grasp as they reached the quarter-finals, thanks to a comfortable 3-1 win over Pohang Steelers.
It is fair to say that FC Seoul have failed to live up to the expectations of their fans since coming into the K-League.
