Goals from Dejan Damjanovic (30 minutes) and Sergio Escudero (48) twice put Seoul in front but Pohang hit back both times through Shin Jin-ho (33) and Lee Myung-joo (84) to salvage a draw.

Ulsan Hyundai, who finished fourth last season, started their new campaign with a dramatic comeback win over Daegu.

Song Han-bok's fourth-minute strike looked set to earn visitors Daegu all three points but Ulsan netted twice in the final minutes to snatch victory, Kim Chi-gon equalising in the 89th minute before Kim Shin-wook struck a last-gasp winner.

In Saturday's other game Jeju United beat Chunnam Dragons 1-0 thanks to a 28th-minute goal from Brazilian Junior Santos.
