Daejeon, who had defeated Gwangju FC on April 22 to earn their first win under new coach Hwang Sun-hong, suffered their first defeat under Hwang and remain in 11th place.

In the first half, the two teams exchanged the initiative, creating three shots apiece, but perfect scoring chances were elusive.
