Incheon took the lead in the 40th minute of the first half when Feri scored off a cross from Kim Sung-min, but they were left disappointed just two minutes later as they conceded an equalizer to Ulsan's Lee Dong-gyeong.

In the 22nd minute of the second half, Incheon missed a chance to retake the lead after Gerso's header was ruled offside. However, the match was decided by the performance of Mugosa, who returned from a hamstring injury.

Mugosa, who was substituted in at the 41st minute of the second half, drew a foul from the opponent just two minutes later to earn a penalty kick, which he then converted himself to lead his team to a dramatic victory.

Having defeated both Jeonbuk and Ulsan in succession, Incheon has climbed to 6th place in the league. With his goal—his first in three months and 8th of the season—Mugosa has returned to a tie for first place in the scoring race.

Meanwhile, Jeonbuk settled for a 0-0 draw against Daejeon amid the disappointment of Lee Seung-woo missing a penalty kick.
