The Sangju goalkeeper Sung-Yun Gu is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 385 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sangju as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the FA Cup match against Daegu (1-2). Late heartbreak for Sangju Sangmu in the Daegu match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Gyeongnam.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sangju have scored 14 goals in 12 league games away. Sangju have conceded 13 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
