“We once again bow our heads in apology to the fans who love the K-League and everyone involved. “
Jeon Jeong-soo, CEO of Incheon United, bowed his head.
At the Incheon Soccer Stadium on the 11th, the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 12th round match was held between Incheon United and FC Seoul. After the final whistle was heard, several bottles of water crashed into the ground, causing Ki Sung-yong to fall down after being hit by a critical blow.

It was a water bottle that was thrown in response to Seoul goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom raising his arms in celebration of the Incheon supporters. However, in the previous situation, the cause of the problem was the supporters of Incheon swearing at Baek Jong-beom about his parents.
Ki Sung-yong, who stepped forward to protect Baek Jong-beom, collapsed after hitting a critical point. It was shocking to see so many filled water bottles flying around.
In response, Incheon CEO Jeon Jeong-soo personally apologized. Even if there was some kind of process, it’s hard to forgive throwing a water bottle. The disgraceful behavior of the Incheon supporters was disappointing and became a major problem.
Of course, the game that day was too hot. Everyone knew how important the ‘Gyeongin Derby’ was, so intense physical and nerve-wracking battles followed. There was also great dissatisfaction with the decision. Gerso was also sent off in overtime in the first half.
Nevertheless, throwing a water bottle was an unforgivable act of ‘bad manners’. It is such a big problem that we have to consider banning those involved in this from entering the stadium.
Meanwhile, after conceding the first goal to Mugosa, Seoul came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to Willian’s many goals. It was a victory that overcame the disappointment of a 0-0 draw at home last March.
