Incheon was the winner of the Big Bird match in front of 20,000 spectators.

Incheon beat Suwon 2-1 in the 16th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' away game held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 15th, where Kim Ji-hyun recovered one goal in the second half with consecutive goals by Park Seung-ho, who was born in 2003. Incheon, which has continued its two-game winning streak and 13 consecutive unbeaten games, became the first team in the K League 2 to reach the 40-point mark. With 41 points, he widened the gap between second-place Suwon (31 points) from 7 points to 10 points, giving him a clear advantage in the lead fight. Park Seung-ho, a former U-20 representative and Incheon's third-year player, announced the emergence of a new Incheon ace by shooting his third and fourth goals of the season. On the other hand, Suwon suffered again with three consecutive wins ahead. His 12-game unbeaten streak also came to an end. Meanwhile, 22,265 spectators visited the game, the largest number since the introduction of the K League 2 paid audience, heating the atmosphere of the stadium.

Incheon coach Yoon Jung-hwan has changed his position compared to the last match against Bucheon. Considering that Mugosa returned to the bench on the day of the game after playing an A-match, he played against Suwon virtually unchanged. Mugosa and Park Seung-ho will take the two-top role, while Gerson and Lee Myung-joo and Moon Ji-hwan and Barlow will form the midfield. Kim Myung-soon, Kim Gun-hee, Park Kyung-sup, and Lee Ju-yong were in charge of the four-back, and Min Sung-joon wore goalie gloves. The concept was change in Suwon and stability in Incheon.

Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan changed three positions compared to the previous round of Seongnam. Kim Ji-hyun, Kwon Wan-gyu, and Lee Kun-hee fell out, and Kim Ji-ho, Hwang Seok-ho, and Jeong Dong-yoon were put in. Ilyuchenko was at the forefront, and Kim Ji-ho Seraphim was in charge of both sides of the attack. Paulinho, Lee Kyu-sung and Choi Young-joon formed the midfield, while Jeong Dong-yoon, Hwang Seok-ho, Leo, and Lee Ki-je formed the four-back. Yang Hyung-mo defended the goal. Kwon Wan-gyu was injured and Lee Kun-hee was excluded from the list for technical reasons.

It was Suwon who did the trick first. In the 9th minute of the first half, Lee Ki-je's free kick was delivered accurately in front of the papost. Seraphim, who was running from the side to the gate, hit the ball on his forehead, but slightly off the goal.

Incheon, which gave up the initial flow, changed the flow with just one play by 'Ace'Gerso. Gervo, who caught the ball at the opponent's right point, quickly approached the opponent's penalty area with his fast feet. Gervo, who sensibly stopped the ball and beat Markman, stabbed a cross in front of the goal, which Park Seung-ho pushed into a non-stop shot.

After the loss, the Suwon bench became busy. In the 18th minute of the first half, Kim Ji-ho was called in and Kim Ji-hyun was put in. Suwon's fierce offensive was carried out. However, he couldn't get rid of his bad luck in scoring. 21 min Ilyuchenko's header went over the net. Lee Ki-je's mid-range shot in the 26th minute and Kim Ji-hyun's consecutive shots in the 27th minute all went straight to the goalkeeper and ended up in nothing. In the 31st minute of Suwon's corner kick, Leo's header hit the opponent's body and fell into the goal area. Leo connected it with a left-footed shot in a no-mark situation, but the ball rose high. In the 36th minute, Kim Ji-hyun's shot in the box was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. The first half ended with Incheon leading by one goal.

Suwon tried to make changes in the midfield by excluding Choi Young-joon at half-time and putting in Lee Min-hyuk. However, he dedicated an additional goal just four minutes into the second half. This time, Park Seung-ho cut the net with a header in front of the net after Barlow poked the ball to the door from the left. Suwon called Seraphim to the bench after losing a point and put Bruno Silva in the game. Paulino's mid-range shot hit the side net in the 15th minute of the second half. Incheon took out Park Seung-ho, who suffered leg cramps, and put in Kim Bo-seop to use the first replacement card.

In the 18th minute of the second half, Bruno Silva's left cross touched Kim Ji-hyun's forehead, but it went off to the left of the net. It wasn't Suwon that would collapse like this. In the 21st minute of the second half, he scored a chasing goal with his 15th shot. Lee Ki-je's corner kick hit the opponent's head and flew toward the papost. Kim Ji-hyun scored this with a picturesque right-footed turning shot after chest trapping. his sixth goal of the season. Suwon's Lee Kyu-sung's ambitious mid-range shot hit the post in the 23rd minute of the second half. Incheon brought in Mugosa Barlow and put in Park Ho-min and Kim Sung-min to make changes. Suwon also faced off by putting in Kim Hyun and Jang Suk-hwan without Lee Il-chenko and Lee Ki-je.

Kim Sung-min and Kim Hyun exchanged shots, but they couldn't reach the net. In the 38th minute of the second half, Incheon filled up the energy they lacked by putting in Lee Sang-ki Shin Jin-ho without Gerso and Kim Myung-soon. There was no reversal. The game ended with Incheon's 2-1 victory.
