Chinju Citizen lost 1-2 to Namyangju in the K4 League Regular Season on 6 September 2026. The result took the league leaders off their unbeaten home run and handed Namyangju a shift in momentum. By then, Chinju had sat top of the table for some weeks, and the visitors had been steady but not spectacular in third place.
Namyangju took the lead and never let it slip, though the match did not go to plan for the hosts after the opening exchanges. Chinju responded and found an equaliser, but Namyangju worked a short corner to regain the advantage. And here's the thing — the visitors held their shape when the pitch cut up badly and hit back on the break.
Chinju now sit on 47 points after 19 games, with 15 wins, two draws and two defeats. Namyangju move to 35 points from 20 matches, ten wins, five draws and five losses. The gap between them narrows, but the league leaders still hold the cushion that matters.
What this means is simple. Chinju have one foot in the next round of promotion talks, but they are no longer in control of their own destiny. Namyangju saw it out after the setback and gave themselves a chance to close the distance. The history between them adds an edge to whatever comes next.
