Gimcheon (5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses) came out of its second consecutive loss. He recorded his first win against Ulsan since its foundation. The previous record was three draws and four losses. On this day, Gimcheon won with Yoo Kang-hyun and Park Sang-hyuk's goals and goalkeeper Kim Dong-heon's crazy saves.

They were two teams with a 180 degree different atmosphere. Gimcheon has recently slowed down with two consecutive losses. In the previous match against Daejeon Hana Citizen, there was also a controversy over the misjudgment. On this day, Yoo Kang-hyun even received a red card for allowing a penalty kick. The decision was judged to be a misjudgment, and the Korean Professional Football Federation avoided Yoo Kang-hyun's dismissal through post-recession. On the other hand, Ulsan succeeded in turning the mood by winning a match against FC Anyang during the week.
