Jeonbuk beat Daegu 4-0 in the 16th round of the 2025 K League 1 at Daegu IM Bank Park on the 27th. He scored two goals in the first half alone, and added two more goals in the middle of the second half to earn three points. With this victory, Jeonbuk has 10 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, and 34 points. The league's consecutive unbeaten record, which has continued since the victory over FC Anyang on March 30, has increased to 11 games (8 wins and 3 draws). Jeonbuk also enjoyed the double slope of Daejeon Hana Citizen (32 points) returning to the lead position as it was caught up by the Pohang Steelers.
Good luck has followed Jeonbuk since the beginning of the game. In the 16th minute of the first half, Park Man-ho and Hwang Jae-won delayed the cross process that Kim Tae-hwan laid low while breaking through the right side, and the ball deflected off Hwang Jae-won's leg and led to an own goal. Based on this lead, Jeonbuk, which played in a dominant trend throughout the first half, widened the gap by scoring Thiago's additional goal in extra time. Daegu fought back early in the second half, but Jeonbuk completed a four-goal victory by adding goals from Jeon Jin-woo in the 20th minute of the second half and Lee Young-jae in the 26th minute.
Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye said in a press conference after the game, `I think it's one of the most perfect games I've ever played. It's not easy to score four goals on the road, but a clean sheet is worth it to me." "I told the players that today's game could be a big challenge." In addition, he said, "We are a better team than Daegu." The players performed more than I said. Congratulations. I'm also grateful to the fans who came to the expedition." On Jeon Jin-woo, who forced his participation despite his injury early in the first half of the day, he said, "'I have to play somehow'. I couldn't see well because my eyes were swollen, but I scored a goal. I think he will be satisfied with his performance until the second half."
Jeonbuk failed to produce a single representative player in March. In June, three players, including Jeon Jin-woo and Kim Jin-kyu and Park Jin-seop, will wear the national flag. Foyet said, `All three players selected for the national team are happy. It is special to represent a country as a player. "Some of them showed their individual skills well, but I think the reason why they showed their performance as a team was also the reason for their selection." Then "I look forward to Jeon Jin-woo making his A-match debut with the national team." I also intend to go to Sangam (the match against Kuwait) in June and have an in-person experience."
Coach Foyet said, `I'm going to play one game at a time. We also need to think about the part where the summer transfer market is coming soon. I'm satisfied with the squad at the moment, but it's true that we need a little more (to keep the top spot)." As for the June A-match break "Rest is the priority. In particular, you have to relieve your mental fatigue."
