Bae Byeong-jun, Kim Kyung-won, and others also did their part. Thanks to the even performance of the players, KGC never let up from the beginning of the game to the end. They started the Jones Cup on a high note with two straight wins.

Meanwhile, KGC will play their third match against UC Irvine on the 15th.
