Ulsan: Pohang Steelers sealed the 2013 K. League Classic title in dramatic circumstances on Sunday after a last-minute goal gave them a 1-0 win over closest challengers Ulsan Hyundai.
Ulsan, who needed only to avoid defeat to win the championship, appeared destined for the title until Kim Won-il bundled the ball home in the 89th minute after the home side had failed to adequately clear a free-kick as the Steelers added the league title to go with the FA Cup they won last month by defeating Jeonbuk Motors.
Victory at the Munsu Cup Stadium was the Steelers’ fifth in succession and saw the 2009 AFC Champions League winners finish the domestic campaign with 74 points, one ahead of Ulsan with Jeonbuk claiming third ahead of 2013 ACL runners-up FC Seoul.
