Incheon lost 1-2 to Gimpo FC in the 30th round of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' at Incheon Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 20th. Incheon, which dedicated back-to-back goals to Gimpo Dongjin Park in the first and 17th minutes of the second half, only scored one goal back in the 40th minute of the second half. Leading Incheon, which failed to win consecutive games, remained at 65 points. It almost allowed the second-place team to chase, but on the same day, second-place Suwon (55 points) lost 1-2 to Gyeongnam, maintaining the 10-point gap. This is a disappointing result for both teams seeking direct promotion.
Incheon coach Yoon Jung-hwan expressed his will to win by starting Mugosa, Gersaw and Barlow. However, Lee Ju-yong's header was caught in the upper net in the 14th minute and Kim Gun-hee's header was out of the net in the 26th minute. In the 41st minute of counterattack, Gervo's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. The first half ended in a 0-0 tie.
Gimpo scored the first goal in the first minute of the second half to take the lead. Incheon midfielder Jung Won-jin allowed his opponent a chance due to a complacent back pass miss. The Dongjin Park who caught the ball calmly shook the net. Incheon tried to hunt for an equalizer with Mugosa's header and Park Seung-ho's left-footed shot, but it was not easy. To make matters worse, Incheon scored an additional goal in the 17th minute with a header using an RBI single with high Dongjin Park. Goalkeeper Min Sung-joon's judgment of the situation was regrettable.
Incheon almost dedicated the third goal to Daziuma in the 22nd minute of the second half, but Daziuma's shot slightly off the post.
Incheon scored a chasing goal in the 40th minute of the second half. Mugosa pushed the ball back to the header that Gimpo Lee Sang-min cleared with a header in a chaotic situation at the gate. In the previous scene, a video reading system was in operation to check whether the Incheon attacker had committed fouls, but it was recognized as a "no foul", that is, a score. In the 9th minute of extra time in the second half, Incheon attempted the last shot by catching a pass toward the back of the defense, but lost 1-2 as it was blocked by the goalkeeper's good defense.

Suwon was dragged away by Park Min-seo in the 26th minute of the first half by losing the first goal. In the third minute of extra time in the first half, Ilyuchenko's penalty kicked off the post and Kim Min-woo's chip shot hit the post, dedicating an additional goal to Danrey in the 31st minute of the second half. The score was recognized as it was after the video reading system (VAR) was operated to determine whether it was offside.
Suwon scored a goal with a header in the 39th minute after attacking with Kim Ji-hyun, Paulino, Kim Hyun and Kang Sung-jin in the second half. But that was it. Gyeongnam won 2-1 by preventing additional runs with a hand-to-hand defense. South Gyeongsang Province, which was completely defeated by Suwon in both matches this season, maintained its 11th place with 29 points.
Suwon has failed to close the gap with top-ranked Incheon due to a slump of one win (two draws and three losses) in its last six league games and two losses in its last three games.

However, after Park Chang-hwan was sent off in the 15th minute of the second half due to accumulated warnings, the counterweight tilted sharply toward Bucheon. Bucheon Montagno, who received Kim Dong-hyun's pass at the gate in the first minute of extra time, scored a chasing goal. Eight minutes into extra time, this time Basani actually scored the equalizer with a picturesque free kick in the last chance of attack. He caught E-Land goalkeeper Koo Sung-yoon off guard with a clever free kick aimed at the bottom of the defensive wall. Bucheon added one point to maintain its third place with 49 points, and sixth-place E-Land (44 points) postponed its advance to the playoffs to the next.
Seongnam won the match against Chungnam Asan at Tancheon Stadium in its home stadium with Son Joon-ho's own goal in the first half, Huiz in the second half and Lee Jung-bin's relay goals. Seongnam, which has had three consecutive wins and 12 consecutive undefeated games (7 wins and 5 draws), regained fifth place, the playoff spot, for the first time in five months since April with 47 points. It narrowed the point gap with third-place Bucheon to two points. Gimpo, which defeated Incheon, reduced the point gap between fourth-place Busan and fifth-place Seongnam to one point with 46 points. South Chungcheong Province Asan (36 points), which is struggling to advance to the playoffs, finished ninth with its first loss in four games.
