K-League Wrap: Incheon lose again, Pohang top

Kim Bong-Gil's men have now lost three consecutive league matches and find themselves bottom of the table, already five points adrift of their nearest rivals.

Their task was always going to be tough on Sunday against league leaders Pohang, and Shin Kwang-Hoon put Incheon on the back foot when he opened the scoring in the 16th minute.

Kim Gwang-Seok and Lee Myeong-Ju added two goals in the final five minutes to complete the victory and record Pohang's fourth win in a row, while Stefan Nikolic was dismissed for the strugglers with three minutes to play.

Third-placed Jeju United collected a 2-1 victory against Busan I'Park, although they had to come from a goal behind to secure the three points thanks to Yoon Bit-Garam and Jin Dae-Sung.

Jeonnam Dragons' topsy-turvy campaign continues as they put last week's defeat to Jeonbuk behind them with a 1-0 win over struggling Seongnam.

Despite having just a solitary win to their name this season, Sangju Sangmu extended their unbeaten run to four games with a 1-1 draw against Ulsan, a result that leaves the latter five games without winning after Kim Yong-Tae cancelled out Lee Jung-Hyub's opener for Sangju.

Japanese midfielder Sergio Escudero struck the winning goal as last season's AFC Champions League runners-up took advantage of all their rivals failing to win.
