Seoul form and stats

The Seoul crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Incheon United here at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Na for missing a penalty kick versus Incheon United in the 22nd minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
