Offense has been on the upswing in the top professional football league this season compared with last year, data showed Tuesday.
Having each played six matches, the 12 clubs in the K League Classic have produced 94 goals, up from 83 goals over the same stretch in 2015.
In 2014, the teams scored 75 goals after six matches each.
For this season, Busan IPark and Daejeon Citizen were relegated to the second-tier K League Challenge, while Sangju Sangmu and Suwon FC earned a promotion.
Busan and Daejeon had five goals and two goals apiece after six matches, but this year, Sangju have eight and Suwon FC have five.
Of the 10 clubs that also played in the K League Classic last year, five teams have enjoyed increased production, while the other five have fewer goals than they did this time last year.
The first-place FC Seoul are also leading the league with 14 goals, three more than the next team, Jeju United.
FC Seoul had just five goals after six matches last year.
Seongnam FC had six in their first six matches in 2015, but have nine so far this year.
The K League tweaked tiebreaking rules for this season to encourage scoring. In case of a tie in points, goals scored will be the first tiebreaker, instead of the goal difference. (Yonhap)
