After the game, acting coach Seo Dong-won, who handed over the baton to the new coach Kim Byung-soo, formed an offensive line leading to Han Jong-moo, Jeong Jae-sang, Jang Sung-won. Lee Lim Yoshino Lee Chan-dong was in the midfield, and Lee Won-woo, Cao Kim Hyun-joon and Hwang Jae-won came out as the back four. Park Man-ho stood on the goal.
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. 1-0.

After getting the first goal, Jeonbuk aimed for an additional goal by targeting the Daegu camp with the left and right side back spaces. Daegu had no choice but to continue to operate the defensive game due to difficulties in ball development such as build-ups and counterattacks. In the end, in the 40th minute of the first half, acting Suh was forced to make changes as he excluded Han Jong-moo and put politician Ramas in.

In the 49th minute of the first half, Kang Sang-yoon fired a right-footed shot from the right side of the gate, but failed to score an additional goal as he slightly deflected the goal post. However, in the ensuing corner kick chance, Kang Sang-yoon handed over the ball to Thiago, who was standing on the left side of the gate, and Thiago calmly pushed it in and finished the first half with a 2-0 lead.
At the start of the second half, Daegu aimed for a chasing goal by putting Edgar instead of Jeong Jae-sang. In the 10th minute of the second half, he helped by sending out Kim Min-kyu instead of Lee Lim. However, he failed to create a decisive scene despite several offensives, swallowing regret.

Jeonbuk, which blocked Daegu's offensive, even scored a net shot by Jeon Jin-woo, who won the first national flag in his life. In the 20th minute of the second half, he cut off the opponent's pass from the left side of the Daegu camp, then passed four defenders alone to the left of the gate and created a picturesque scene in which he cut the net with a right-footed shot. In the 26th minute of the second half, even Lee Young-jae, who replaced Song Min-gyu, scored a goal. Daegu tried to counterattack again the rest of the time, but the match was already in the air.
