In a match that kicked off with a ceremonial first kick by 6-year-old Kim Eun-chan, who is battling blood cancer, the protagonist of this celebration, Lee Dong-gyeong, truly soared.

Seven minutes into the second half with the score tied at 0-0, he assisted Jung Seung-hyun's opening goal with a sharp left-footed free kick to record his 10th assist of the league. Just three minutes later, he received a pass from Pedrinho and found the back of the Incheon net with a powerful left-footed shot to score his 10th league goal.

Becoming the first domestic player to achieve 10 or more goals and assists in a single season for two consecutive years, Lee Dong-gyeong celebrated his "new history" by pointing to his jersey number, while young Kim Eun-chan shared in the joy from the stands.

Propelled by Lee Dong-gyeong's one-man show, second-place Ulsan defeated Incheon 2-1 to secure their second consecutive win.

League leaders FC Seoul, who had stumbled against Ulsan four days ago, staged a rebound against third-place Jeonbuk.

Jung Seung-won assisted Klimala's opening goal with a sharp pass just three minutes into the first half, fueling the MVP competition with Lee Dong-gyeong. Klimala then led Seoul to victory with a dramatic stoppage-time goal in the second half with the match tied 1-1, sending the away fans into wild celebrations.

As Seoul maintained a 15-point gap with Ulsan, stepping closer to their first championship in 10 years, Suwon Samsung secured a 1-0 victory against Seoul E-Land in a top-of-the-table clash in the second division at the same time, keeping their "promotion dream" alive.
