As a big match, the beginning was tight. We failed to create opportunities for each other. It started from Incheon. In the 15th minute of the first half, Kim Bo-seop's opposite conversion pass was well delivered. Kim Sung-min tried to shoot after overcoming the checks of two defenders, but the ball was placed in the arms of goalkeeper Noh Dong-gun.

E-Land's attack continued in the 22nd minute of the first half. After the cross came up from the right side, there was a mix-up at the gate. The ball that Kim Gun-hee couldn't handle with certainty went to Euhler. A decisive chance came, but he blew the chance by flailing.

E-Land created another scoring opportunity. In the 24th minute of the first half, Cha Seung-hyun's pass was delivered to Euhler in a trajectory that the defense did not predict. In this situation, Euhler took a one-on-one opportunity as he properly targeted the back space. However, Euhler's shot was blocked by Min Sung-joon.

This time, it was Incheon's chance. In the 38th minute of the first half, Kim Bo-seop properly watched Gerson's penetration into the back space. Gervo overcame the competition with the defender and had a good shot opportunity, but he gave the ball to the defense while trying to make a left foot. In the 31st minute of the first half, Gervo's mid-range shot went straight to the goalkeeper.

An injury variable has occurred in E-Land. In the 35th minute of the first half, Kwak Yun-ho collapsed alone. Kwak Yun-ho was carried off on a stretcher. E-Land put Kim Min-kyu in instead. In the first half, the last group failed to create opportunities for each other, and the first half ended scoreless.

At the beginning of the second half, the atmosphere of the stadium suddenly began to overheat. It started with a war of nerves between Lee Myung-joo and Pedringo in the fifth minute of the second half.

E-Land created a decisive opportunity for the first time in the second half. In the 9th minute of the second half, Kim Joo-hwan and Eouler exchanged one-two passes and attacked Incheon's side. The chance was canceled as Kim Joo-hwan's cross was not caught by Eidale.

As E-Land set the tone, Incheon tried to make a change by excluding Choi Seung-gu and Gibbo-seop and putting Barlow and Kim Myung-soon. The game went back into a lull. In the 25th minute of the second half, E-Land came out on the counterattack. Pedringyo was given a proper pass. There was a player in a better position on the inside, but Pedringyo chose to shoot, and this choice did not lead to a goal.

Incheon scored a penalty in the 28th minute of the second half. Lee Joo-yong entered the penalty box and sent a pass to Park Seung-ho. At this time, Seo Jae-min's tackle knocked over Park Seung-ho in the process of receiving the ball. The referee declared a penalty. Mugosa came out as a kicker, and Mugosa finished with a strong shot in the middle. Before the game, Mugosa held a commemorative event to achieve the club's first 100 offensive points (88 goals and 13 assists), adding a scoring shot to celebrate it.

Incheon is starting to get in the mood. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Gervo hit and ran in Incheon's counterattack. A perfect shooting space came out, but Gervo's shot went weakly to the side of the net. It was also Incheon's attack in the 38th minute of the second half. The movement rate and Mugosa advanced with fantastic breathing. After Lee Dong-ryul broke through the defense, he continued to shoot, but Noh Dong-gun hit it.

In the 41st minute of the second half, Park Seung-ho's header goal was canceled after being declared offside during the cross process. Incheon secured Mugosa's winning goal and brought back three valuable points at home.
