It was a showdown between Anyang, which had to succeed in turning the atmosphere and continue the flow, and Jeonbuk, which had to break the flow of no wins.
Anyang had to continue its momentum. He won 1-0 in his last showdown with Daegu FC, breaking his third consecutive league victory and securing his second victory of the season. The appearance of allowing consecutive runs against Seoul, Gwangju, and Gimcheon also disappeared, and the solidity and sharp counterattack in defense stood out. Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon's unique tactical capabilities have proved that his performance can be a threat to the top teams in the K League 1.
Jeonbuk was desperate for victory. There is no win in six consecutive official games. Even in the league alone, the slump continues with four games, two draws and two losses. The defense was shaky. He lost eight points in the last four games and fell sharply to the opponent's offense. In a situation where even the injury variables of the team had to be overcome, the team won against Anyang, which is expected to have an advantage in power, and the atmosphere was urgently changed.
Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon took out a 4-2-3-1 formation. Motaga One Top was located at the front line, and Chae Hyun-woo, Choi Sung-beom and Kang Ji-hoon were located at the second line. Eduardo and Kim Jung-hyun worked together for the third term. The defense was composed of Lee Tae-hee, Lee Chang-yong, Kim Young-chan, and Thomas. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Kim Da-sol.
Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye faced off with a 4-3-3 formation. Jeon Byung-kwan, Park Jae-yong and Jeon Jin-woo are on the front three-top, while Kang Sang-yoon, Boateng and Lee Young-jae are in the midfield. The defense was built by Kim Tae-hwan, Park Jin-seop, Yeon Je-woon and Kim Tae-hyun. Song Bum-keun defended the goal.

From the beginning of the first half, the two teams clashed strongly. In the 10th minute of the first half, Lee Tae-hee scored a cross from the right side of the penalty box and finished with a header in the box, but it went out of the goal. Anyang continued to shake the back space of Jeonbuk's side by utilizing Choi Sung-beom on the right and Kang Ji-hoon on the left. Jeonbuk is also not behind. In the 13th minute of the first half, Jeon Jin-woo's cutback pass, which succeeded in breaking through from the left side of the Anyang box, unfortunately failed to reach Park Jae-yong in the box and flowed to the other side.
Anyang shook the net, but it was not recognized as a score. In the 17th minute of the first half, Kim Jung-hyun pushed the ball back into the box in the corner kick situation and finished it at the gate, but the assistant referee immediately declared it offside. Jeonbuk aimed for an opportunity with a set piece. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Lee Young-jae connected a free kick from the left side of the penalty box arc to the front of the gate, but it was blocked because it could not reach the heads of the players in front of the goal.
Jeonbuk has an injury variable. In the 31st minute of the first half, Lee Young-jae, who had already collapsed once complaining of pain, collapsed on the ground again and escaped through a stretcher. Kwon Chang-hoon was put in place of Lee Young-jae.
Anyang's attack drove Jeonbuk fiercely. In the 37th minute of the first half, Chae Hyun-woo, who caught a long pass that was put into the box, hit a right-footed shot from deep to the right side of the penalty box, but was blocked by Song Bum-keun. The two teams finished 0-0 in the first half.

Jeonbuk tried to change its offense by excluding Park Jae-yong and putting in Compagno at the beginning of the second half. I got my chance with a set piece. In the 8th minute of the second half, Kim Da-sol and Park Jin-seop collided in the process of finishing Kim Tae-hyun's cross in the corner kick situation, and the referee pointed out the foul and declared the penalty. Compagno, who stepped up as a kicker, completely deceived the direction and shook the Anyang net.
Anyang, which allowed the first run, replaced Mateus in the 11th minute of the second half by excluding Choi Sung-beom. Anyang replaced Eduardo and Chae Hyun-woo with Kim Bo-kyung and Choi Kyu-hyun in the 27th minute of the second half. Kim Bo-kyung stepped on the ground and played a total of 200 K-League games. Kim Bo-kyung received a low and fast pass from Kim Jung-hyun in the 32nd minute of the second half and had a good opportunity at the gate, but the shot was far off the goal.
Anyang was hampered by the last-minute exit variable. In the second half of extra time, Kim Da-sol and Jeon Jin-woo collided in the process of blocking Jeon Jin-woo's counterattack. Later, the referee declared the exit, pointing out Kim Dasol's foul outside the box as a result of the VAR review. Anyang used all the replacement cards, so Kim Jung-hyun wore goalkeeper gloves.
In the end, Jeonbuk finished with a 1-0 victory.
