Moon Seon-min's still hungry 'game changer' wish..."I don't want to be a half-player"

Moon Sun-min (33, FC Seoul)'s eyes are on higher ground.
Seoul had a 1-1 draw with FC Anyang in the 12th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" held at Anyang Stadium on the 6th. Anyang striker Matheus (Brazil) scored the first goal in the 6th minute of the second half and Moon Sun-min's equalizer in the 35th minute of the second half gave both teams one point each.

Both teams tried to give strength in the second half. Prior to the match, Anyang had four losses when it allowed the first goal this season, while Seoul had only one draw and four losses, so both teams focused on not allowing the first goal. This is why Anyang's main catcher Mota, Seoul's Lingard (England), and Moon Seon-min left the match on the day from the bench.

Moon was given the role of "joker" again on the day. In the 11th minute of the second half, Moon replaced Jung Seung-won and played as a right winger, sending a header from Lingard's corner kick to score at the last minute of the second half. Seoul, which had a frustrating game throughout the match, could have lost four consecutive games had it not been for Moon's goal.

Moon Seon-min, who left Jeonbuk Hyundai and wore a Seoul uniform ahead of this season, is playing a "game changer." Having scored three goals and one assist in 12 games this season, he has been substituted in 11 of 12 games, and played nine of them in the second half. In the three games that Moon scored, Seoul has continued its unbeaten streak with one win and two draws. "He is a player who will change the course of the game in the second half," coach Kim Ki-dong said, giving high marks to Moon's fast speed and determination.

While staying true to his duty, Moon looks to the next level. "Whether I play as a starter or as a substitute in the second half, I will try my best to play my role," Moon said after the game. "I can be considered as a half-starter, but if I score more points in attack, I will be able to become a better player."

Despite the team's recent poor performance, they are determined. Seoul lost three consecutive games in the league before the match against Anyang, falling to the middle and lower ranks. It barely maintained its ninth place by adding one point against Anyang. "It's a shame that the team's performance is not good. We often start the second half after giving up the first goal, but we need to improve it. No matter how strong the team is, it is not easy to turn it around if it is led. It is our top priority not to lose points," he said.

Seoul has a tough schedule ahead of it. It will play the 13th round away match against Daejeon Hana, 안전놀이터 the leading team in the league, on Saturday, and play the Korea Cup round of 16 away match against Daejeon Korail (K3 League) on Sunday. "We have to regret it until tonight and start over. We have another important game to play from the weekend. We will prepare for a new game with determination," Moon said.
