The attacking players of Incheon have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 199 minutes.

The manager Cho was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Sungui Arena Park. Incheon United suffered a 0-1 loss to Suwon (placed 7th). That loss was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. Late heartbreak for Incheon United in the Suwon match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime. Midfield player Lee was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.34/10. Lee hit three key passes and had 59 successful passes (of 63 total).
