He finished third with three runs in eight games. Suwon Samsung had no loss in five games (three wins and two draws) and had an impressive win. He scored 13 goals in eight games. The point of attention was how Seongnam's shield would block Suwon's sharp spear, which has the strongest foreign strikers in the league, including Suwon Samsung and Seongnam FC from the "1st division masterpiece", Ilichenko (4 goals), Paulingño (3 goals), Bruno Silva (2 goals) and Seraphim (2 goals). The strategists' head-to-head battles and nerve conduction were also fierce. Seongnam coach Jeon Kyung-joon said, `I'm not playing soccer to draw. Even if we lose, we're brave enough to do ours and lose. It doesn't mean much to be undefeated." Coach Byun Sung-hwan also said, `We have to win at home today. Incheon is in the lead. If the points are wide, it becomes difficult. From our point of view, there is no point in drawing." Asked what kind of game he hopes it will be, coach Byun said, `I hope it will be a game where I hit and hit. Neither the fans nor I want a boring game. It would be better to play `3 points' rather than keep the soccer game.
