Despite a one-nil defeat to Gwangju, Jeonbuk ended April three points clear at the top of the league, thanks mainly to wins over fellow top-four clubs Sangju and Pohang. Below them, the league is still pretty tight with only six points separating second placed Jeju United and eleventh placed Gangwon. Incheon United prop up the table with just three points to their name, largely due to defensive errors, star defender Matej Jonjic's winter move to Cerezo Osaka hitting them hard. Their match against Seoul, where they lost three-nil, conceding some very weak goals, missing some great chances, and having bad refereeing decisions go against them, sums up their season so far. At the start of the month, Jeonnam were in a similar position to Incheon, but three wins on the bounce, including a five-nil win over Ulsan, has pulled them back up to mid-table.
Suwon Bluewings finally got their first win in the league with a two-one win over Gangwon on the 22nd, with Shin Hwa-yong saving a last minute penalty to earn the three points. Kim Min-woo scored a great goal to help the Bluewings follow that win up with a second two-one win on the road, this time against Jeju United, a result which helped Suwon break back into the top six. Jeju remain second despite that result, although they have been unable to maintain their early season momentum. A few draws and defeats at the start of the month saw them lose top spot to Jeonbuk, who they face next in a top-of-the-table clash. Pohang started the month with a series of wins against the league’s strugglers which helped them climb to second in the table, and Yang Dong-hyun to the top of the goalscorer's chart, Since then however, they came unstuck against the league’s better sides, losing to Jeonbuk and Sangju in their last two matches. With Seoul, Jeju, and in-form Suwon coming up, May could see Pohang slide back down into the bottom half of the table.
