The fifth round of the 2018 K League 1’s took place last weekend. Four out of six matches in this round could not decide the winner. While some matches excited fans with no winner or loser, others disappointed fans.<\/p>\n

Football Tribe Korea would like to introduce the most exciting match and the most disappointing match.<\/p>\n

1. The Most Exciting Match<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes a draw can be very dramatic. The match between Jeonnam Dragons and Incheon United was among them.<\/p>\n

There were a total of 31 attempts made by both teams throughout the match. The opener was scored by Incheon’s Stefan Mugosa who dribbled through defenders on 9 minutes.<\/p>\n

Jeonnam seized an opportunity to clinch an equaliser as they earned a free kick chance. Kim Young-uk’s\u00a0shot that was blocked by Jeonnam’s defenders led to\u00a0Wanderson Carvalho de Oliveira’s\u00a0attempt. Bounced off by Park Jong-jin, the ball found the net in the 31st minute.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes after the second half started, Jeonnam’s Han Chan-hee got sent off for committing a foul. Incheon dominated the field with their superiority in numbers, but Jang Dae-hee was solid. Mugosa once again came forward and scored the header on 91 minutes. Incheon fans rejoiced the victory that could happen.<\/p>\n

Choi Jae-hyun did not let it happen as he managed to even the score in the stoppage time. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n

Incheon recorded 16 attempts with 10 on target, while Jeonnam did 15 attempts with nine on target. Also two goals in the stoppage time, including one on 96 minutes, were good enough to thrill fans. It was indeed the best match in the fifth round.<\/p>\n

2. The Most Disappointing Match<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most famous match in the K League is Super Match between FC Seoul and Suwon Samsung. This time grabbed more attention as it was the first time for Seoul’s legend Dejan to play in the Super Match in a blue uniform.<\/p>\n

Both teams were rather defense-oriented. Seoul possessed the ball 61% of the time but it was mostly in Seoul’s field. Both teams seemed to avoid risks.<\/p>\n

Suwon and Seoul recorded nine and seven, respectively, attempts, showing how dull the match went.<\/p>\n

Indeed, both teams needed a victory desparately.\u00a0Currently sitting fifth\u00a0in the table, Suwon\u00a0have not won any match at home since this season started. The last victory at home was against Thanh Hoa in January.\u00a0The 1 \u2013 4 defeat at home against Sydney FC took place in Suwon as well.<\/p>\n

FC Seoul are no better. After a disappointing season, Seoul decided to rebuild the team. However, this rebuilding did not work out well for Seoul, as they are now on 11th.<\/p>\n
