Of the three matches on the first day, two of the "derby" were the focus of the battle, the "Kyo Ine-derby" in which Incheon and Seoul drew 1-1, and the "Suwon Derby" ended with a three-star victory in Suwon. In the other two matches, Jeju United, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, had no choice but to shake hands with Gangwon FC. Ulsan Hyundai, on the other hand, won a 2-0 away win over Seongnam thanks to the excellent performance of Japanese foreign player Jun Amano.

At the end of this round, FC Seoul managed to reach the top, but there were six teams with the same points as them, and Seoul only came to the top of the table with its high number of goals scored and last season's ranking. In the relegation zone, Seongnam FC became the only team to lose all after the start of the league, and the third round of next week is already a test of life and death for them.
