Suwon caught the momentum early in the first half. In the 6th minute of the first half, Seraphim finished the ball that Seongnam's defense did not handle properly with a strong right-footed shot from the right side of the arc, but was blocked by Yang Han-bin's good defense. The first goal was also scored early. In the 9th minute of the first half, when a cross from the right side hit Seongnam's defense and flowed in front of the box, Paulino's right foot shot, which was penetrating, shook the net as it was.
Seongnam, which allowed the first run, launched a counterattack. He attacked Suwon and worked hard for the equalizer. In the 14th minute of the first half, Shin Jae-won's mid-range shot from the right side of the box floated over the net, and Hong Chang-beom's mid-range shot in the 20th minute of the first half also hit the side net. Benicio finished the cross into the box with a header in the 34th minute of the first half, but he hit the post.
Suwon's defensive mistakes led to Seongnam's opportunity. In the 36th minute of the first half, Kim Joo-won, who was hit by an arm wielded by Lee Kun-hee, collapsed during the defense process. The referee declared a penalty after VAR review. Huiz, who played kicker, perfectly deceived Yang Hyung-mo and scored an equalizer.
The two teams continued to aim for the opponent's goal afterwards, but no additional points were scored and finished the first half 1-1.

In the second half, Suwon took the opportunity first. In the 5th minute of the second half, Paulino caught the ball and gave the pass to Kim Ji-hyun in the center. However, Kim Ji-hyun's shot hit the post. After that, Choi Young-joon caught the ball again and finished with a mid-range shot, but turned away from the goal.
Seongnam is not behind either. Park Ji-won, who received Huiz's penetration pass in the 23rd minute of the second half, dug through the defense and took the opportunity. However, the touch in the box was a little longer and Yang Hyung-mo caught the ball.
Suwon did not give up hope of a turnaround until the end of the game. In the 45th minute of the second half, Paulino received Lee Kyu-sung's pass and attempted to shoot from deep on the left side of the penalty box, but headed to the side of the net. The dramatic score came in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time. Lee Ki-je finished the free kick from the front of the penalty box with a fantastic shot. Yang Han-bin shook the net without even moving his body.
In the end, the game ended with Suwon's 2-1 victory.
