Gwangju scored the first goal at an early point and took the lead. In the 12th minute of the first half, Asani, who broke through deep into the box from the right, handed a cutback pass to Shin Chang-moo in the box. Shin Chang-moo tried to shoot and the ball shook Anyang's net as it was.




Anyang also fought back after losing the first point. In the 26th minute of the first half, Noh Hee-dong fired a mid-range shot attempted by Yago from the right side of the penalty box and blocked it.

Gwangju made efforts to widen the gap. Jung Ji-hoon received the ball he won by pressing Kim Young-chan in the 34th minute of the first half. He finished with a shot at a time when the opponent's defense was not properly equipped, but unfortunately, the ball was caught in defense at the gate. He scored an additional goal with the continued attack. In the 37th minute of the first half, Jung Ji-hoon passed Shin Chang-moo's pass, and the ball headed to Asani. Asani's powerful left-footed shot cut the Anyang goal.

Anyang also scored one goal in the first half. Kim Dong-jin, who quickly broke through the side and caught the ball in the 42nd minute of the first half, gave it to Chae-woo through a cutback pass. Chae Hyun-woo calmly finished with a left-footed shot and stabbed into the corner of Gwangju's goal.




Anyang's exit variable exploded at the end of the game. In the extra time of the first half, Matheus' tackle was declared to be sent off as a result of VAR reading, putting him in a numerical inferiority. Gwangju's 2-1 lead ended the first half.

Gwangju led the game first in the second half. Gwangju maintained its offensive against Anyang by gaining a numerical advantage. Asani's shot, which received Hayes' pass in the second minute of the second half, went off the goal. In the 7th minute of the second half, Shin Chang-moo's mid-range shot from the right side of the penalty box arc headed to the stands, not the goal. Anyang also aimed for an opportunity despite its numerical inferiority. In the 10th minute of the second half, Yago caught Noh Hee-dong's kick mistake. However, Yago's last shot went straight over the net.

Gwangju missed the opportunity. In the 29th minute of the second half, Cho Sung-kwon finished the cross from the right with a header from the gate, but the ball flowed to the side of the net.
