Incheon, led by coach Cho Seong-hwan, lost 1-3 in the away game against Shandong in the 2023-2024 ACL Group G 4th game held at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Shandong Province, China on the 7th, conceding an own goal and a penalty kick goal in the second half.

Incheon, which suffered two consecutive losses to Shandong, recorded 2 wins and 2 losses (6 points) in the group stage.

Depending on the result of the subsequent match between Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan, 6 points) and Kaya Iloilo (Philippines, 0 points), the team was in a position to lose second place in the group to Yokohama.

In the ACL East Asia group stage, the first-place team in each group and the three best-performing second-place teams advance to the round of 16.

Shandong, with 3 wins and 1 loss, further solidified its position in first place in the group (9 points).

Coach Choi Kang-hee, who won six K-League titles and two ACL titles at Jeonbuk Hyundai, has been leading Shandong since May of this year.

Incheon actively attempted to compete in the midfield and narrowed the pass route to Shandong's frontline striker Marouane Fellaini as much as possible.

In addition, Kim Bo-seop on the left and Park Seung-ho on the right took the lead in leading the game, increasing the ball possession rate to 57% in the first half.

However, like Shandong, Incheon also failed to seize the decisive scoring opportunity.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Mpoku's free kick cross was followed by Kim Yeon-soo's directional header that missed the goal, which was the closest thing to a score.

At the start of the second half, Incheon called Mugosa to the bench and put in the speedy Hernández, and started hunting for a goal with even more enthusiasm, but this time again there was no result.

It was unfortunate that in the 4th minute of the second half, Min Kyung-hyun received a pass from Park Seung-ho and fired a shot in an unmarked situation that missed slightly to the right of the goal.

In the end, it was Shandong who took the lead.

In the 9th minute of the second half, Li Yuanyi scored his first goal with a right-footed shot in a mixed situation at the goal.

Incheon missed a decisive scoring opportunity in the 11th minute of the second half.

Hernández finished Kim Bo-seop's backheel pass with a right-footed shot from in front of the goal area that hit the right post. https://stocktwits.com/cristellecruzsix

Incheon gave up one more point in the 20th minute of the second half through an own goal following a back pass mistake by Kwon Jin.

In the 30th minute of the second half, Shandong Krizang's penalty kick goal was allowed, and the momentum was drastically broken.

Previously, it was ruled that Hong Si-hoo committed a foul by pushing Li Hailong inside the penalty area.

Incheon avoided a loss by making up one point with Kim Do-hyuk's lob shot that passed the goalkeeper's height in extra time in the second half.
