Jeonnam Dragons drew their last game, also a home match. Gyeongnam (placed 6th) was the opponent, 2-2 the score.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Seoul E. the opponent.The manager Jeon will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gimpo in only three days.
