On the afternoon of September 22, Jeju United welcomed the daegu FC challenge at home, and with Yu Wei, who defeated the leader in the last game, Daegu FC came to Jeju Island to challenge the recently momentum of Jeju United. In this game, Jung Tae-woo continued to be absent, and the back-back Park Han-bin appeared in the center-back position for the third time.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > Suwon FC 3-1 Seongnam FC (9.22, Suwon World Cup Arena).</h1>
We set our sights on Suwon, South Korea, where we lost 1-2 away to relegated suwon FC in the last round, and this round ushered in a relegation rival, Seongnam FC. However, this game was played in their "new home", since the migration to the Suwon World Cup Arena, Suwon FC has won all the matches, and they also want to continue such a good momentum in this game. In the half-game with Seongnam FC, the busiest on the field was undoubtedly Seongnam's old goalkeeper Kim Yong-kwang, who repeatedly received high and low blocks to ensure that the opponent was fruitless, especially on the goal line twice blocked the ball that Suwon FC must score, and also blocked Li Yingcai's direct free kick, at the end of the half, Seongnam relied on Kim Yongguang's excellent play to force a 0-0 draw with the opponent. Entering the second half, Seongnam took the lead in attacking, and this time more than half of their goal was credited to Suwon FC goalkeeper Liu Xian, in the 67th minute, Liu Xian attacked to destroy the ball under his feet, but was deceived by the opponent and crossed the empty goal, and Mulić, who was waiting in front of the goal, smiled and accepted the gift, 0-1!

The two sides returned to the same running line, and in the following matches, seongnam players tried to fall to the ground to delay time. But they still paid the price for their own rashness, and in the 91st minute, using a set-piece, Kwon Kyung-won missed the opponent's half-time substitute Jung Jae-yong, who rushed to score the goal, 2-1! Suwon FC reversed the score.
This result forced Seongnam FC into a desperate situation, just when they were going to fight back, a dramatic moment appeared again, Seongnam veteran goalkeeper Kim Yong-kwang suddenly appeared distracted, facing the teammate's return pass to stop the ball mistake, the ball flew straight to the net, Kim Yongguang quickly chased back, but even people fell into the net with the ball, Jin Yongguang's fatal mistake also made Seongnam FC completely lose the hope of equalizing, they won first and then lost on the road, losing 1-3. Suwon FC, on the other hand, continued to win in the Suwon World Cup Arena.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > FC Seoul 0-0 Incheon Union (9.22, Seoul World Cup Arena).</h1>
Seongnam's defeat gave Seoul enough motivation to fight later, this round of the match with Incheon, they sent a lineup dominated by young players, and the opponent also sent an all-Korean squad dominated by young people, because in recent years, "Gyeongin Derby" has always had the curse of who loses at home, so Seoul is also extra cautious about this game. In the 9th minute of the match, Seoul scored the first goal, Ande-young Pass Park Joo-young completed the goal, and just as Park Joo-yong was cheering, the offside flag was raised and the goal was invalid. In the 35th minute, Qi Chengyong's long-range shot broke the goal, but the referee heeded VAR's advice and once again blew off the goal on the grounds of offside.
Entering the second half, the two sides sent their main forces to fight, and the scene was tense for a while. In the 81st minute, the field ushered in the biggest variable, Incheon goalkeeper Jeongsan was injured, Lee Tae-tai came on as a substitute, Seoul replaced Gabriel with a high-altitude bomber, and after several physical confrontations, the referee ruled Seoul foul. In the end, in this game where Seoul was fully dominant, the two sides drew 0-0, and although Incheon did not win again at the Seoul World Cup Arena, it had a feeling of "escaping from danger". Seoul's new coach Ahn Yee-so's third match ended in a draw again.
Perhaps because of fatigue, this week's goalkeeper made too many mistakes, and it is indeed regrettable that Gwangju goalkeeper Yoon Ping-kook and Seongnam goalkeeper Kim Yong-kwang, who have been in the field for a long time, can have such low-level mistakes to directly bury the game. Hopefully, on the weekend, they can adjust their mindset in time.
