Hwang, who started the match on the bench, entered the field in the 21st minute of the second half, replacing Deniil Goul. He then contributed to the team's second goal in the 39th minute.

Receiving a pass from Alberto Costa inside the box, Hwang skillfully connected with Borja Sainz on the left side of the penalty area. Sainz then converted the opportunity with a right-footed curling shot, sealing Porto's 2-0 win.

He had previously played in the Portuguese Super Cup on September 2nd, coming on as a substitute in the second half and winning the trophy immediately after his transfer.

Although he missed the league's opening match against Alverca on September 10th, Hwang showcased his presence on the field during his limited playing time in the match against Rio Ave.
