Jeonbuk Hyundai (68 points), Gimcheon Sangmu (55 points), Daejeon Hana Citizen (52 points), and Pohang Steelers (48 points) have confirmed their progress to Final A. Pohang lost to Gwangju the previous day and decided to advance to Final A before the 32nd round. Daejeon succeeded in going to Final A for the first time since its foundation.
FC Seoul actually got a ticket to Final A. Seoul tied Suwon FC 1-1 in the 32nd round of the K League 1 at Suwon Stadium on the 5th. Seoul has 45 points. Even if Seoul, which has 42 goals, loses the final match, it will advance to Final A unless 7th-ranked Gwangju (42, 34 goals) scores more than 8 goals. For the second year in a row, Seoul has taken the advantage of going to Final A.
Gangwon was also able to take a step closer to going to Final A, but it was a disappointing draw. At the same time, Gangwon drew 1-1 against FC Anyang at Gangneung High1 Arena. Gangwon led with Kim Gun-hee's first goal in the 28th minute of the second half, but allowed Kim Bo-kyung to equalize in the 41st minute of the second half. Gangwon, which only added one point, maintained its sixth place with 43 points. If he had won, he could have widened the point gap with Gwangju to three points, but Song Joon-seok's play at the end was disappointing.

Gangwon will go on the Daegu FC expedition and Gwangju will go on the Ulsan HD expedition. Daegu is good in terms of flow, but Ulsan is also busy with a long way to go, so a fierce match is expected. Coincidentally, Gangwon coach Chung Kyung-ho and Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo are "best friends" who received P-level license training together. He has shown off his strong friendship all season, and he faces a cheeky fate. The final match will be held at 2 p.m. on the 18th.
