Jeonbuk and Daejeon drew 1-1 in the 12th round of the 2025 K League 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 6th. Jeonbuk seemed to bring victory with Jeon Jin-woo's score in the 43rd minute of the second half, but Daejeon Kim In-kyun hit an equalizer in the 48th minute of the second half to balance it. Jeonbuk had to be satisfied with increasing its unbeaten streak from the match against FC Anyang on March 30 to eight games. Daejeon's unbeaten streak, which had been winning four consecutive games, including the FA Cup, has also increased to five games. Daejeon remained in second place with 28 points and Jeonbuk with 23 points.
Jeonbuk coach Gus Foyet placed Compagno as the front-line one-top and deployed Song Min-gyu and Jeon Jin-woo as side strikers. Kim Jin-kyu, Kang Sang-yoon and Park Jin-seop were in the midfield, while Kim Tae-hyun, Kim Young-bin, Hong Jung-ho and Kim Tae-hwan were in the defensive line. Song Bum-keun defended the goal. Daejeon manager Hwang Sun-hong put Gutech at the forefront and put Kim Hyun-wook and Kim Hyun-oh as left and right strikers. With Bob Shin, Kim Joon-beom and Choi Geon-ju in the midfield, Park Kyu-hyun, Anton, Im Jong-eun and Oh Jae-seok were placed in the defensive line. Lee Chang-geun stood on the goal.
Early in the game, Jeonbuk tapped the Daejeon goal using the left and right sides. Song Min-gyu, Kang Sang-yoon and Jeon Jin-woo made effective shots, but they were blocked by Lee Chang-geun's good defense and did not lead to a score.
In the middle of the first half, Daejeon's counterattack, which had cleared its ranks, began. However, the side attack did not have much effect, leading to a struggling trend. Jeonbuk continued its chances by attacking the left side of the Daejeon camp. Coach Hwang exchanged seats with Kim Hyun-wook in the 35th minute of the first half, excluding Kim Hyun-oh and putting Kelvin in. Jeonbuk had another decisive chance just before the end of the first half, but both teams finished the first half without scoring as Lee Chang-geun blocked it.
A similar trend continued early in the second half. Both teams focused on attacking the side, but failed to create a meaningful scene. Coach Hwang threw a game in the 13th minute of the second half, excluding Gutech and Choi Geon-ju, putting in Joo Min-gyu and Kim In-gyun. In the 20th minute of the second half, coach Foyet tried to change by putting Thiago, Hernandez and Lee Young-jae instead of Song Min-gyu, Kim Jin-gyu, and Compagno.
There was no sign of balance leaning over time. Daejeon tried to use the long pass to find the back space of Jeonbuk's defense, but it ended in nothing, and Jeonbuk tried to target the Daejeon goal with crosses from the left and right sides, but it did not work. Daejeon used all the replacement cards in the 37th minute of the second half as Kim Hyun-woo and Lee Joon-kyu came out instead of Anton and Kim Hyun-wook.
In the 41st minute of the second half, Kelvin tried to shoot from a free-kick chance obtained from the left side of the arc in Jeonbuk's camp, but Song Bum-keun hit it and swallowed the disappointment.
The goddess of victory seemed to smile at Jeonbuk. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Jeon Jin-woo, who penetrated through the gap between the long pass from the midfield hit Thiago and deflected, shook the net with his left foot. However, Daejeon tied the game in the 47th minute of the second half when Kim In-kyun finished the ball that Lim Jong-eun pushed in front of the arc with his right foot from the right side of the Jeonbuk goal, and the game ended like that.
