The professional soccer K League 1 Daejeon Hana Citizen beat Incheon United and reported its first win in the opening four games. Daejeon manager Hwang Sun-hong expressed satisfaction, saying, "The meaning of my first win is quite significant."

Daejeon, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, won 3-1 in the fourth round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 away game against Incheon at Incheon Football Stadium on the 18th.

Daejeon, which had a 1-1 draw in its opening three consecutive games, reported its first win in the opening four games. Incheon, on the other hand, has been mired in winless games (one draw and three losses) for the fourth time in a row.

On this day, Martha, the first starter of this season, scored the first goal, and Diogo and Um Won-sang, who were substituted in the second half, scored the winning goal and the net goal to win the team.

Coach Hwang Sun-hong said, "The players who replaced and entered did their part. There was a crisis as I pressed from the front, but I handled it well. I think it was a success to replace him," he said in a general review of the game.

Coach Hwang then said, "It was a game where the players who were looking for form after the injury did their part. Diogo, (Um) Won-sang, and Martha all burst, so I think it will be an opportunity to have confidence," he said.

Coach Hwang Sun-hong said, "The play itself is not perfect, but it was an opportunity to get better little by little by winning. The meaning of the first win is quite significant, he said. "There will be a match against Jeonbuk Hyundai in the next two days." The best goal is to play against Jeonbuk before the A match break. "I think we need to do a good job of maintaining the A match period," he said.

As for the players who were injured on the day, Ha Chang-rae said, "Ha Chang-rae doesn't seem to be severe, but he seems to have back muscle damage. I think I need to do some testing, he said. "Seojin-do is also not going to be easy because of muscle strain, so I took it out. Fortunately, I don't think it's a big injury," he added.
