This dramatic game continued into the second round of the 2026 K-League Season 1, with more goals scored late in the game. There were some surprising results, some of which may mean a re-evaluation of season predictions. This week’s From Outside The Box looks back at the picks from the second game week of the season and previews Round 3 games.
Paul, Matt and Alex are back from the commentary box to talk about how their review preparation and approach has changed over the past few years, and the pros and cons of trying to go paperless.

They look back at the 2026 K-League Round 1, Round 2, which followed a lot of drama and some surprising results for some teams that have been written off by some. Gwangju FC survived a last-minute penalty from Incheon United to seal their first win of the season, Kimcheon Sangmu drew a very credible home draw with champions Jeonbuk, Bucheon FC 1995 remained unbeaten after a 1-1 home draw with title contenders Daejeon Hana Citizens, and Anyang beat Jeju SK at home.
Attention then turns to the third round, with Daejeon playing against Gimcheon at home, Gwangju playing against Jeonbuk, Pohang returning to Incheon, and Ulsan returning to play against Bucheon.
