Match of the Round
Incheon vs. Pohang in the battle for top-half momentum
Round 14 sees Incheon United (fifth, 18 points) take on Pohang Steelers (fourth, 19 points). With both sides enjoying strong recent form and separated by just one point, the match could prove decisive in the race for top-half security heading into the World Cup break.
Incheon have recorded three wins, one draw and one loss across their last five matches, maintaining a steady run of form. In Round 13, they produced an impressive 3-0 victory over Gimcheon Sangmu, showing quality at both ends of the pitch. It marked Incheonâs first win by a three-goal margin this season. Morgan Ferrior and Lee Dong-ryul both found the net, while Juan Ibiza scored his first K League goal with a header. Incheon have also recorded consecutive clean sheets following their Round 12 draw with Daejeon Hana Citizen, highlighting their growing balance in attack and defence. Attention now turns to whether they can continue that momentum at home.
Pohang Steelers, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last three matches with two wins and one draw. In Round 13, they defeated Daejeon thanks to a brace from Juninho Rocha, with the Brazilian finally opening his account for the season. Pohang have shown strength through their physical presence in attack, using tall forwards such as Lee Ho-jae, Cho Sang-hyuk and Jorge Teixeira effectively. They currently rank second in attacking aerial duel success rate at 53.2%. Their ability to trouble Incheonâs defence through aerial play could prove decisive.
The two sides drew 1-1 in their Round 3 meeting earlier this season, while Pohang are unbeaten in their last seven matches against Incheon with four wins and three draws. Their second meeting of the campaign takes place on Tuesday, May 12th at 7:30 PM at Incheon Football Stadium.
