Incheon United won 2-1 in Group G of the 2023-2024 Asian Champions League (ACL) group match against Yokohama Marinos (Japan) at Incheon Football Stadium on the 28th. Incheon recorded three wins and two losses, continuing its hopes of advancing to the tournament. The first place in the five East Asian groups (Groups F to J) in this tournament will advance to the round of 16. Three of the five teams ranked second in each group will advance to the round of 16. Incheon will decide its fate through the final group match against Kaya FC (Philippines) on December 13.

After the game, coach Cho said, "I'm happy to give the fans a victory in the last home game of the season. The players made every effort to give them satisfaction this season and expectations for the next season. There was a goal of "passing the group league." Fans and players seem to have become one and made good results. "We will thoroughly prepare for the remaining K-League and Kaya away games and finish it well so that we can give you expectations for next year," he said.

There was a variable. In Incheon, some of the veteran players, including Lee Myung-joo, Moon Ji-hwan and Shin Jin-ho, left due to injuries. Most of the foreign players, including Delbridge, Mugosa, Mpoku and Gerso, were also excluded due to injuries. Incheon set up its lineup with young players such as Kim Bo-seop, Chun Sung-hoon, Park Seung-ho, Park Hyun-bin, and Hong Si-hoo.

Coach Cho said, "They are the first players to play in the ACL stage. It's a lie if you weren't concerned. In the process of preparing, I think there was a clear motivation for the players in life, training, and games. Some players were injured in situations where they could go to the national team by age. There was also a player who was injured in the tournament. I prepared well through the rehabilitation period. I think I can show this kind of performance. Existing veteran players have been leading well from the beginning to the present. I think positively because the performance of young players stands out more than expected. I'm looking forward to next year. "As a manager, I have a lot of worries at the end of the season, but I think it relieves those worries," he said with satisfaction.

Oh Ban-seok, who was named MVP of the game, said, "It was an important game. I'm grateful to be able to give a victory gift to the fans who came in the cold weather. I have to go to the end. However, I will prepare well until the end so that Incheon can make a turnaround contrary to expectations. Playing with young players itself gains a lot of energy. I trusted them because they were experienced in international competitions. The result came out. I think it is a positive result for Incheon. It has grown another step through the results. I think it's a big asset in Incheon. "It was a game where we could look at the future brightly," he said.
