#KLUpod | K League 1 Round 2 Recap + Round 2 Preview [From Outside The Box] | OneFootball

The drama continued into Round 2 of the 2026 K League 1 season with more late goals. There were some surprise results, some of which may mean a reevaluation of the season predictions. This week's From Outside The Box takes a look at the pick of the action from the second match week of the season and previews Round 3.

Paul, Matt, and Alex are back from the commentary box to talk about how their commentary prep and approach have changed over the last few years, and the pros and cons of attempting to go paper-free.

They recap the pick of the action from 2026 K League 1 Round 2, following plenty of late drama and some surprising results for teams that had been written off by some. Gwangju FC survived a late, late Incheon United penalty to seal their first win of the season, Gimcheon Sangmu earned a very credible draw at home to champions Jeonbuk, Bucheon FC 1995 remain unbeaten following a 1-1 draw at home to title contenders Daejeon Hana Citizen, and  FC Anyang left it very late to earn a home win over Jeju SK.

Attention then turns to Round 3 with Daejeon hosting Gimcheon, Gwangju taking on Jeonbuk, Pohang Steelers back in action against Incheon, and Ulsan returning to the field to travel to Bucheon.
