The wish of Kenyan-Australian player Rashid Mahazi came true as Incheon defeated Suwon in the Saturday match and had the best Sunday morning ever. Mahazi is recovering from an injury and his music is the glue that binds the team.

[Soundbite] KIM DO-HYEOK(INCHEON UNITED FC) : "There are many injured teammates including Mahazi. The rest of us want to play even harder to let them know it's okay."

Since coach Jo Sung-hwan took the helm, Incheon United is catching up with 11th ranking Suwon Bluewings, trailing by 3 winning points. The players are determined to keep the streak alive and perform a victory song.

[Soundbite] SONG SI-WOO(INCHEON UNITED FC) : "I want to do a street performance. I'll sing with Mahazi in downtown Incheon city if our team stays afloat."

The upbeat mood continues as Stefan Mugoša will stick with the squad instead of joining his Montenegro national team in September. Incheon's sudden rise is shoring up excitement for the remainder of the K-league season.
