Gimcheon Sangmu scored a dramatic equalizer despite its numerical inferiority, earning valuable points at home.

Gimcheon tied 1-1 in the fourth round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2026" home game against Gwangju FC at Gimcheon Stadium on the 17th thanks to Ko Jae-hyun's theater goal in the extra time of the second half.

As a result, Gimcheon ranked sixth in the league with four consecutive draws (4 points) in the opening game, competing with Gwangju, following Pohang Steelers, Jeonbuk Hyundai, and Daejeon Hana Citizen. Gwangju, where head coach Lee Jung-hyo left and started anew under head coach Jungkyu Lee, also ranked third, continuing its undefeated streak in the opening four games (1 win, 3 draws, 6 points).

An unexpected variable occurred from the beginning of the game. Gimcheon striker Lee Sang-hun was sent off in the eighth minute of the first half. The referee initially took out a yellow card, but reversed the decision with a direct red card after VAR.

Since then, Gimcheon, where 10 players played, has focused on defense, and Gwangju, which has a numerical advantage, has taken the lead, leading the battle.

It was Gwangju that broke the balance of zero. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Fried Jonsson's header hit Gimcheon defender Kim Hyun-woo's hand and a penalty was declared. Fried Jonsson, who played kicker, calmly shook the net and took the lead.

Gimcheon showed a scary background at the end of the game, when the defeat was getting thick. In the extra time of the second half, Ko Jae-hyun connected a cross from Kang Min-kyu with a right-footed non-stop shot to score a dramatic equalizer. The fierce match ended in a 1-1 draw.
