There was a long-awaited win for Suwon Bluewings on Saturday, while Gwangju fell to defeat at Sangju Sangmu.

Suwon Bluewings got its first points of the K League 1 season as it held out for a 1-0 victory over Incheon United.

Lee Lim-saeng's side had been on a five-match losing run in all competitions stretching back to September, having surrendered a two-goal lead against Ulsan Hyundai last week.

A penalty from Yeom Ki-hun just past the hour mark was enough to end that streak and give Suwon its first three points of 2020.

Sangju Sangmu made it two wins in a row as it held out for a 1-0 victory against Gwangju.

Kang Sang-woo's deflected effort after just five minutes was enough to sink Gwangju and lift the host into eighth.
