A good away victory last time out for Gwangju, who won 2-1 against Daegu (placed 5th). Eom Ji-Sung (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.05/10. Ji-Sung scored one goal. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of H. Kim when Bong-hun Yeo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute.

Before that, Gwangju had a home game versus Incheon United which ended with a victory 1-0.

The manager H. Kim will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gangwon in only three days.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
