Incheon United, the K-League 1 promotion team, beat Gimcheon Sangmu to rise to fifth place.

Incheon, led by head coach Yoon Jung-hwan, defeated Gimcheon 2-1 with Mugosa's multi-goal in the sixth round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 home game at Incheon Football Stadium on the 5th.

Incheon, which had been mired in a winless (1 draw and 3 losses) for the first four consecutive games after being promoted, succeeded in completely changing the atmosphere by winning two consecutive games against FC Anyang and Gimcheon.

Incheon, which had seven points (2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses) with the victory, immediately raised its ranking, which was the lowest before the game, to fifth place. On the other hand, Gimcheon lost for the first time following the opening five consecutive games, falling to 11th place with five points (5 draws and 1 loss).

Mugosa scored multiple goals on the same day and scored six league goals to become the sole leader in scoring. Mugosa scored goals in all games except for the last round against Gwangju FC in the second round since the opening. In the match against Gwangju, Mugosa also recorded help and is recording attack points in the game before the opening of this season.

On this day, Incheon operated a 4-4-2 model in which Park Seung-ho and Mugosa were two-top players and Oh Soo-sung and Seo Jae-min and Lee Myung-joo were in the midfield. Lee Ju-yong, Juan Ibiza, and Park Kyung-sup and Kim Myung-soon stood on the defense line. The goalkeeper is Kim Dongheon. It was the same starting lineup as the last game against Anyang, which won its first game of the season.

In Gimcheon, Lee Kun-hee and Park Se-jin played as two-top players, and Kim In-kyun, Park Tae-joon, Kim Lee-seok and Ko Jae-hyun built the midfield team. Park Chul-woo and Lee Jung-taek, Kim Hyun-woo and Kim Tae-hwan defended the defense line, and Baek Jong-beom defended the goal.

Incheon broke the early balance. The counterattack unfolded by cutting off the opponent's goalkeeper's kick with a header from the side. Lee Myung-joo's pass to the front was connected with an exquisite non-stop shot in which Mugosa floated the goalkeeper's key.

Gimcheon balanced in the 23rd minute of the first half, but was canceled after being ruled offside. After a short corner kick, Kim Lee-seok finished Park Tae-joon's pass with his right foot. However, Park Tae-joon was ruled offside in the process of receiving the pass again. Gimcheon players even celebrated a show of hands salute as a group, but the score was canceled.

Incheon also had a good chance. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Mugosa tripped over the opponent's tackle in front of the arc, and Seo Jae-min tripped in the penalty box in an advantage situation. Referee Choi Chul-joon weighed the possibility of a penalty through an on-field review, but maintained the original trial, saying a foul came out after the whistle was already called. Mugosa's free kick was blocked by a defensive wall.

Incheon once again had a chance to score an additional goal in the 44th minute of the first half. Mugosa, who dug into the back space of the defense, had a one-on-one opportunity with the goalkeeper. However, after beating the goalkeeper, he failed to widen the gap as his shot was caught at the fingertips of goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom.

Incheon, which swallowed the disappointment, paid off in the extra time of the first half. In a corner kick situation, Lee Myung-joo fell due to Kim Lee-seok's foul during the struggle for position. After an on-field review, the referee maintained the original penalty declaration following Kim Yi-seok's holding foul. Mugosa, who was a kicker, finished with a strong right foot kick.

At the beginning of the second half, Incheon excluded Park Seung-ho and put in Lee Chung-yong. In Gimcheon, Park Se-jin and Kim Yi-seok and Kim In-gyun were excluded at the same time, and Hong Yoon-sang and Lee Soo-bin and Yoon Jae-seok were added. Incheon continued its offensive early in the second half. Lee Chung-yong, Oh Ho-sung, and Mugosa's shots came out one after another, threatening the opponent's goal. However, it rarely led to results.

Rather, Gimcheon sparked a chase in the 11th minute of the second half. Ko Jae-hyun, who was rushing Park Chul-woo's ground ball cross into the left side, finished it. Incheon immediately changed it by putting in Gerson instead of moving rate. However, Gerso and Oh Soo-sung's shots went in vain one after another, and Mugosa's shots were slightly off the post, which rarely led to additional goals.

In the 24th minute of the second half, Incheon missed a decisive opportunity to score an additional goal. Gersault's powerful shot into the left hit the post. Lee Chung-yong then tried to shoot the ball toward the empty goal, but the shot missed and went off the post.

Since then, the game has unfolded in the form of Gimcheon's offensive for the equalizer and Incheon's counterattack after a solid defense. However, Gimcheon's attacks did not lead to threatening opportunities. Incheon also failed to get a chance to score a net goal using Mugosa and Gerson, but the lead of one goal was kept to the end. In the end, the game ended with Incheon's 2-1 victory.
