Incheon United FC was unable to capitalise at home, suffering a crushing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Pohang Steelers on September 2, 2023, in the high profile K League 1 competition. Pohang Steelers displayed a superior attacking prowess converting their opportunities into goals, ensuring a tactical victory.

Analysing the stats, it was a game equally poised in terms of discipline; both teams kept their composure with a total of only two yellow cards awarded (Incheon United FC -1, Pohang Steelers -1) with no offsides for Incheon United FC and just one offside from Pohang Steelers.

From a goal perspective, Incheon United FC failed to open their account with zero goals compared to two from Pohang Steelers, the first coming in at 01:03:42 into the second half and the second one, consolidating their lead at 01:26:14 of the second half.

Taking a glance at set-pieces, it seems both teams strived to actively use this as part of their strategy with a total of 16 corner kicks, 7 from Incheon United FC and a slightly higher 9 from Pohang Steelers. This shows a strategy focusing on attacking via wings, but in the end, it was Pohang Steelers that capitalized better.

One of the significant statistical factors impacting the outcome of the match was the effectiveness of Pohang Steelers' offensive line, something that the home team, Incheon United FC, lacked severely during the proceedings. With Incheon United not being able to get a single offside call indicates their inability to press high and penetrate the solid defence line of Pohang.

All in all, the match's outcome was decided primarily by the superior gameplay and strategy execution manifested by Pohang Steelers, particularly in the second half, where both of their goals came from.
