At the Daejeon World Cup Stadium, 'last place' Gwangju FC (18 points) lost 2-3 against 6th place Daejeon Hana Citizen (46 points), conceding an own goal in extra time in the second half.

Gwangju, who defeated Ulsan HD 4-3 in the previous 31st round and claimed their second win of the season after 29 games, took the lead with Idale's first goal in the 3rd minute of the first half amidst pouring rain.

Gwangju took over the goalkeeper's goal kick in the 28th minute of the first half and Idale scored an additional goal from the front of the penalty arc to take a 2-0 lead, dreaming of a second consecutive win.

Daejeon balanced the game with Seo Jin-soo's penalty chase goal in the 29th minute of the first half, followed by Diogo's equalizing goal in the 33rd minute of the second half.

At the end of the second half, Gwangju's Bar Rua's mid-range shot split the Daejeon goal net, but was ruled offside.

Gwangju, where the scent of a draw was growing strong, collapsed due to an own goal.

At the end of extra time in the second half, Daejeon suffered a come-from-behind defeat when Lee Myung-jae's cross from the left side was blocked by Moon Min-seo, who put the ball into his own goal.

Daejeon, which defeated Gwangju with difficulty, had the same number of points as Jeju, but moved up to 5th place in scoring.

At Seoul World Cup Stadium, FC Seoul, who were close to winning the championship, drew 2-2 with Gimcheon Sangmu.

Seoul recorded 66 points, making the gap with 2nd place Ulsan HD (50 points) 16 points, and if they win the 34th round home game against Gangwon on the 24th, they will complete their 7th championship in 10 years since 2016.

Also, in a situation where Seoul draws, even if Ulsan fails to beat Pohang or both lose, Seoul's early win is confirmed.

However, if Seoul loses and Ulsan does not, Seoul's chance to confirm the championship will be postponed to Final A (after round 34).

Seoul had Klimala score multiple goals on this day, but gave up two penalty kicks to Gimcheon and ended in a draw.

Klimalsa, who scored his 15th and 16th goals, equaled the number of points scored by Ulsan's Yago (16 goals), but maintained second place in the scoring rankings due to his playing time.

In addition, Gangwon (47 points) drew 1-1 with 7th place Incheon (43 points) and fell one place to 4th place, while 9th place Pohang (41 points) and 8th place Anyang (42 points) also drew 0-0 and there was no change in their rankings.
