The final round of the Championship Group saw little suspense in the standings. Ulsan Hyundai won the title early and the 2nd place in the league is solid. The only suspense is the 3rd place in the league. Currently there are 3 more points and 6 more goals than, which means that even if Pohang loses, Incheon United will have to beat Jeonbuk Hyundai by 6 goals to get 3rd, which is obviously not going to happen. So, Pohang's 3rd place is also secure, and Incheon United's 4th place is locked.
The biggest news of the week is that Jeju United's goalkeeper has been involved in a car accident, with all 4 first team goalkeepers injured for this match, news that certainly heats up the new champions Ulsan Hyundai. But note that Jeju United's scorer Joo Min-kyu currently has 17 goals, 2 more than Jeonbuk Hyundai's Cho Kyu-sung, and the race for the Golden Boot is fierce. This battle will give Jeju United a much better chance of grabbing points as visitors, and Ulsan Hyundai, who just toppled Jeonbuk Hyundai's title streak, will be less likely to celebrate, which will have an impact on their game form. Not to mention the fact that the internationals will be holding back in the upcoming match!
