Jeonbuk Hyundai won consecutive games by defeating Daegu FC.
Jeonbuk beat Daegu 3-1 in the 19th round of the 2025 K League at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Jeon Jin-woo contributed to the victory with multiple goals, and Andrea Compagno also scored a goal and helped. Jeonbuk, which recently had no losses (3 wins and 2 draws) in five consecutive games until the K League 1 and the Korea Cup, continued its strides with a comfortable victory against Daegu. The league record was four wins, three draws and two losses, with 15 points. Daegu, which had been losing six consecutive games recently, had head coach Seo Dong-hyun lead the team as an acting coach after former coach Park Chang-hyun voluntarily resigned, but bowed his head after a lethargic game. The losing streak extended to the seventh game. The league record was 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, and the points remained at 7.
It was a one-sided match.

Jeonbuk took the lead five minutes into the game. Jin-kyu Kim's diagonal cross from the left side of the Daegu camp arc was dug into the back space of the defense and connected it with a left-footed goal in front of the gate. Daegu's defense penetrated the moment's carelessness and scored comfortably in Mu In-kyung. The score was recognized as it was in VAR.
In the 17th minute of the first half, he even scored an additional goal. Kim Jin-kyu attempted a right-footed mid-range shot while the opponent's defense retreated from the right side of the Daegu camp arc. Daegu goalkeeper Han Tae-hee hit a shot, but Compagno, who was rushing to the gate, pushed it in to make it 2-0.

Seo chose to change by putting Kim Jung-hyun instead of Lee Yong-rae, who emerged in the 29th minute of the first half. In the 35th minute of the first half, Jeonbuk received a pass from Song Min-gyu in the counterattack, and Compagno's goal was overtly judged offside through VAR. However, in the 38th minute of the first half, Kim Jin-kyu connected a pass that Song Min-gyu pushed slightly from the left side of the Daegu penalty arc with a left-footed cross, and Jeon Jin-woo connected with a strong right-footed shot after trapping the ball that Daegu Ramas could not clear, widening the gap to 3-0 as he shook the net.
Daegu, which had only one shot in the first half, was actively on the offensive led by foreign players at the beginning of the second half. However, it was far from a threatening scoring scene. In the 22nd minute of the second half, acting Seo excluded Edgar Ramas and put in Park Dae-hoon. Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye also sent out Lee Young-jae and Lee Seung-woo instead of Kim Jin-gyu and Song Min-gyu in the 25th minute of the second half. In the 31st minute of the second half, Thiago Jin Tae-ho was put in place of Park Jin-seop and Jeon Jin-woo to make a change.
Daegu scored a chasing goal in the 36th minute of the second half when Jung Jae-sang pushed a ball that flowed to the left of the gate in a corner kick opportunity from the right side of the Jeonbuk camp. However, there was not enough time to turn the tide of the game back early on.
