The top spot belonged to Incheon United. Incheon United triumphed in a showdown against Seoul E-Land, a contender for the championship.
On the 15th, Incheon defeated E-Land 1-0 at the Incheon Football Stadium during the Hana Bank K League 2 2025 Round 4.
With this victory, Incheon overcame the shock of its first loss of the season in the previous round and rose to the top spot with 9 points (3 wins, 1 loss). Meanwhile, E-Land, which ended its unbeaten streak, is now in third place with 7 points (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss).
In the early stages, E-Land appeared stronger. They attacked the Incheon goal with the best attacking power in K League 2, having scored 7 goals in the preceding three matches. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Aideil had a crucial opportunity but failed to convert it.
In the second half, Incheon changed the game. The star of the show was none other than 'super joker' Park Seung-ho, born in 2003. He earned a penalty kick by drawing a foul from Park Chang-hwan in the opposing box in the 28th minute. Mugosa stepped up to take the kick and calmly scored. Mugosa's opening goal turned out to be the winning goal.
Suwon Samsung, another contender for the title, stumbled again. Suwon drew 0-0 against Chungnam Asan at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, marking their third consecutive match without a victory.
It was a must-win match for Suwon. They had just returned to 'Big Bird' Suwon World Cup Stadium after about 8 months and were in a situation of having lost two consecutive matches. Suwon had secured a 1-0 victory against Ansan in the opening game but then suffered a 2-0 defeat to Incheon and a 4-2 loss to E-Land.
However, Suwon was unable to celebrate that day either. While they seemed to control the match against Chungnam Asan, they only maintained high possession without creating many threatening chances. In the 28th minute of the first half, Bruno Silva missed a perfect one-on-one opportunity. Ultimately, Suwon was held back by their ineffective offense and could only secure 1 point.
Choi Duri's Hwaseong FC celebrated their first professional victory. Hwaseong defeated Chungbuk Cheongju 2-1 at the Hwaseong General Sports Town main stadium. This marks a historic first victory on the professional stage for both the team and Coach Choi.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, in a throw-in attack situation, Dominic directed the ball off his head to the back. Lima, overcoming defensive pressure, finished off with a strike to score the opening goal. Additionally, in the 32nd minute of the second half, a cross from Al Tull led to an own goal by Chungbuk Cheongju defender Jeon Hyun-byeong, adding a stroke of luck.
Hwaseong did concede a penalty kick to Gabriel in stoppage time of the second half, but it did not affect their victory. With a three-match unbeaten streak, Hwaseong rose to 7th place with 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss).
At Gimpo Solter Soccer Field, Seongnam FC and Gimpo FC played to a 0-0 draw, with no scoring throughout the 90 minutes. Nevertheless, Seongnam, who finished at the bottom last season, has maintained an unbeaten record with 2 wins and 2 draws, rising to 2nd place (8 points). Gimpo remains in 6th place with 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss).
