Australian defender Luke DeVere netted twice as Gyeongnam defeated fifth-placed Jeju United 3-1 in the K-League.

All four goals came in the second half with DeVere (55 and 61) and Yun Ii-rok (76) putting Gyeongnam in charge before Jeju netted a late consolation through Junior Santos K-League.

FC Seoul cut the gap to leader Jeonbuk Motors to two points after claiming a 2-0 away win over rock-bottom Daejeon Citizen.

Mauricio Molina and Dejan Damjanovic struck the goals in either half as Seoul took full advantage of Jeonbuk Motors' goalless draw at Seongnam Chunma.

Third-placed Ulsan Hyundai was not as successful though, going down 1-0 to a 69th-minute Lim Sang-hyub goal at Busan IPark to slip nine points off the lead.

In the day's other matches, Gangwon beat Pohang Steelers 2-1 with goals from Kim Eun-jung (31, pen) and Park Jung-hoon (78) cancelling out an effort Noh Byung-joon (69), while Chunnam Dragons drew 0-0 with Sangju Sangmu Phoenix.
