Pyeongtaek Technical High School and Yeongdeungpo Technical High School scored 10 goals and seven goals, respectively, to score no points. Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek JFC and Seoul Sungsil High School are tied for second with 12 goals each. In the case of Sungsil High School, nine goals were lost, which is a considerable number. 토토사이트
The top scorer until the group league was Kim Tae-hyung of Pyeongtaek Jinwi FC with nine goals. He is quite different from Han Yu-jun (Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek JFC) and Geum Chan-hyuk (Gyeonggi Anyang Technical High School), who have five goals. Kim Tae-hyung is aiming to become the top scorer for the first time in two years as a player of Pyeongtaek Jinwi FC after Jeong Jae-sang (eight goals) of the 2022 competition. As Pyeongtaek Jinwi FC is a favorite, attention is focusing on whether Kim will surpass Kim Ji-han (then Bo-in High School), who won the top scorer with 10 goals last year at Yeongdeungpo Technical High School and 13 goals at the 2021 competition.
