I didn't watch the game, but surely Hwang Sun-Hong is under a lot of pressure following their loss to Gangwon today? 1 point off bottom, 10 points off top, having played a game more. Despite Daejeon's quality, he doesn't know his best team. I doubt he will last past the WC.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Marcão marks his return to K League action with a late winner after an excellent header. Very harsh on Incheon, who were the better team. Not the first time this season they have been the better side but lost. Fine margins again. Mugosa on fire!

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Yoon Jong-Hwang has done a lot of things right during his tenure at Incheon, but his persistence in keeping playing out from the back with Kim Dong-Heon in goal isn't one of them. Surely he has to go more direct, especially with the height and physicality of Mugosa up front.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

@LiveFromIncheon Crazy that we are in round 7 and Kim Dong-Heon is still being asked to play out from the back. There have been so many instances this season showing that he is incapable.

@charliebeasley_ The Sergio Costa revolution is well underway!

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Incredible K League drama as Patryk Klimala wins it at the death for Seoul. They probably didn't deserve it despite dominating the game, but they won't care. Kim Jin-Su was unbelievable at LB. His block of the Thiago pass led to the goal. Kim Gi-Dong proving the doubters wrong!

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Aside from Jeonbuk being denied a stonewall penalty by VAR, not much to report at the Seoul WC Stadium at HT. Seoul dominated the ball and had a good chance when Yazan had his volley saved from a set piece. Jeonbuk growing into the game and look most dangerous on the counter.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

It is incredible how often VAR is used to overturn correct decisions in the K League. Korean officials hit a new low every week!

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Stefan Mugosa has been brilliant since his return to K1. He has scored or assisted in all 6 of his games, and his all-around play has been excellent. Is it a worrying indictment of the league that this season's best player is a 34-year-old who played in K2 last season?

[Luke @LiveFromIncheon]

Mugosa was named the K League 1 MVP following his brace against Gimcheon at the weekend.

Mugosa leads the K1 scoring charts with 6 goals in six games.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Only a few games in but Kim Seung-Ho looks like a solid bit of business for Pohang, joining from Chungnam. Moves the ball well and does his bit defensively. Looks like the most secure player in this ever changing Steelers midfield.

FT: Jeonbuk 2-0 Ulsan

Jeonbuk had the best chances in the first half, Ulsan had the better chances in the second, but a moment of magic from Lee Seung-Woo wraps up the points for the home side. Before that, it could be said that Ulsan arguably deserved a point.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Lee Seung-Woo with an incredible solo goal to secure three points for Jeonbuk. Is there a better player to bring off the bench in the league than him? The best dribbler in the K League!

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

In a game of fine margins between two of the top teams in the league, game management is crucial. It is remarkable that Chung Jung-Yong let that situation with Cho Wi-Je play out. Clearly wanted to come off with an injury, but kept him on for 10 mins, and it almost cost them.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

HT: Jeonbuk 1-0 Ulsan

Jeonbuk with a fantastic half. Dangerous when building from deep and in transition. Ulsan haven't had a chance other than Yago's free header from a FK. Ulsan need to find a balance between creating chances while limiting Jeonbuk's opportunities to counter.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

Another slow start for Ulsan, deservedly behind at Jeonbuk. What is Lee Gyu-Sung doing on the line? A nice moment for Cho Wi-Je as he scores his first goal for the club in his fourth game.

[KL Analysis @KLAnalysis]

The Bench:

Hwang In-Jae (Pohang)
Choi Seok-Hyun (Ulsan)
Jung Seung-Hyun (Ulsan)
Seo Jae-Min (Incheon)
Park Tae-Jun (Gimcheon)
Kim Jin-Gyu (Jeonbuk)
Lee Dong-Gyeong (Ulsan)
Seo Jin-Su (Daejeon)
Song Min-Kyu (Seoul)

LST - Stefan Mugosa

Joint top scorer in the league, Mugosa has 4 goals in 5 games and has probably been the best player in the league so far this season. His link-up with teammates, hold-up play, passing, movement and finishing (apart from against Jeju) have all been top tier.
