12 August 2012 14:39
Pohang Steelers trailed on two occasions but fought back to topple the lowly Chunnam Dragons 4-3 in the K-League on Sunday.
Brazilian striker Lucio Flavio broke the deadlock for Chunnam from the spot inside the opening seven minutes, however Hwang Ji-Soo replied for the visitors nine minutes later.
Flavio got his name on the scoresheet again in the 34th minute before Pohang's Kim Jin-Ryong restored parity five minutes into the second half.
Derek Asamoah put Pohang ahead just two minutes later, while Park Sung-Ho joined in on the action with a 76th-minute strike.
Jeong Seong-Hoon converted an 82nd-minute penalty but it proved nothing more than a consolation as Chunnam, who languish at the foot of the K-League table, suffered their fourth consecutive defeat.
Elsewhere, Incheon United recorded their third successive league victory, beating Gangwon 2-0 at Sungui Arena Park.
Nam Jun-Jae opened the scoring and registered his fourth goal of the season on 22 minutes, with Park Joon-Tae putting the result beyond doubt just two minutes after the hour mark.
Incheon are now three points adrift of eighth-placed Daegu, who salvaged a dramatic 1-1 draw at Ulsan.
Former Gamba Osaka striker Rafinha found the back of the net for Ulsan with a goal seven minutes into the second half.
The third-placed outfit were within seconds of victory, only for Song Je-Heon to score a last minute equaliser and earn Daegu a share of the spoils.
Meanwhile, Daejeon Citizen and Gyeongnam cancelled each other out in a 1-1 draw.
