Jeonnam match 4-2: Se-jinya's 79th-minute goal and Serafim's multi-goal game

Newsis reported that Daegu won 4-2 in its away match against Jeonnam in Round 30 of K League 2. The timing of Se-jinya's goal differed: Best XI listed it as the 33rd minute of the second half, while the official Korea Professional Football League scoring video listed it as the 79th minute. This article follows the official record. Se-jinya's season record after the match stands at 7 goals, 8 assists (as of 2026.10.24 16:00).

It cannot yet be determined which play produced the assists from that day. Daegu MBC reported that Se-jinya assisted Serafim's additional goal, while Best XI and Sports Chosun described a pass that led to Dekers' goal. We did not obtain the original official match sheet for this report. The points are certain: Daegu rose to fourth place with 52 points, two points behind second-place Suwon FC (54) (as of 2026.10.24).

Serafim's 10 Goals, 10 Assists: Sixth in K League 2 History

Serafim was the first to smile. Gyeongbuk Maeil reported that Serafim reached 10 goals, 10 assists for the season with a multi-goal performance against Jeonnam. It took him 28 matches for Daegu. He is the first player to achieve this in the 2026 K League 2 season and the sixth in K League 2 history. Based on the report, his assists rose from 4 in the 2025 season with Suwon Samsung to 10 this year, a 2.5 times increase.

Best XI reported Serafim's post-match interview on October 26. Serafim said, "Personally, I set the goal of reaching 10 goals and 10 assists before the season started." He also said, "Our team has a designated penalty kick taker." That kicker is Se-jinya.

Se-jinya needs 3 goals and 2 assists for 10 goals and 10 assists, with 4 matches left

Season	League	Goals	Assists	10-10
2019	K League 1	15	10	Achieved
2025	K League 1	12	12	Achieved
2026	K League 2	7	8	3 goals, 2 assists remaining (as of 2026.10.24 16:00)

To reach it, he needs 3 goals and 2 assists. Combined, he needs 5 more scoring points. Best XI reported Daegu's remaining regular-season matches as 4. Going by that figure, Se-jinya would need to average 1.25 scoring points per match.

Se-jinya has already reached this milestone twice, both times in K League 1. If he succeeds again, he would become the second player to do so in the 2026 K League 2 season, after Serafim. Best XI reporter Kim Tae-seok saw a chance based on his ability to create scoring points and his dedicated set-piece role, but assessed that it is hard to guarantee.

Se-jinya's salary: 2.1 billion won, No. 1 among foreign players

Se-jinya is a Brazilian player born on November 29, 1989, and is 36 years old. He came to Korea on loan to Daegu in 2016 and transferred permanently in 2017. In May 2025, he became the first player in K League history to join the 80-80 club. On August 22 this year, in the match against Busan, he reached 300 career appearances for one club, Daegu.

His income is also at the top of the league. In the 2025 season actual salary payments announced by the Korea Professional Football League on December 30, 2025, Se-jinya earned 2.1 billion won, ranking first among foreign players. That is 150 million won more than No. 2 Lingard. This amount is not his 2026 season contract salary.

Rank	Player	2025 season club	Actual payment (KRW)
1	Se-jinya	Daegu	2.1 billion
2	Lingard	Seoul	1.95 billion
3	Jerso	Incheon	1.54 billion
4	Mugosa	Incheon	1.54 billion
5	Kompanyo	Jeonbuk	1.34 billion

The four remaining matches are a figure from media reports, and cross-checking with the league's official schedule is not yet complete. Daegu, led by head coach Choi Sung-yong (50), is in a promotion race, trailing Suwon FC by two points.
