Lewis and Dijuma led the attack.

A variable has occurred. In the 24th minute of the first half, Incheon Gervo emerged from the competition. While he left the ground for a while to receive treatment, Gimpo aimed for a goal with a Dongjin Park's mid-range shot. However, he was blocked by the Incheon goalkeeper. Incheon, who was tapping, scored the first goal. Mugosa completed Kim Bo-seop's cross from the side in the 33rd minute of the first half with a header goal. But the referee declared offside. Video reading (VAR) results showed that the decision was maintained and the score was canceled. Gimpo immediately fought back. Cho Sung-joon scored in the 37th minute of the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Gimpo increased the intensity of the attack. But it wasn't finished. Incheon has launched a counterattack. Mugosa attempted a series of shots to score. Incheon also lacked a finish. Gimpo laughed first in a tense situation. In the 13th minute of the second half, Lewis overcame the ball competition with the opponent and created an exclusive opportunity. He scored 'one shot, one kill' with his right foot. However, a handball foul was declared as a result of VAR. The score was canceled.

Incheon took out a replacement card. Choi Seung-gu, Lee Sang-ki, and Park Ho-min were simultaneously put in place of Kim Myung-soon, Lee Myung-joo, and Park Seung-ho. The game got fiercer. In the 21st minute of the second half, Chapman received a yellow card for a rough tackle in the process of blocking Gerson. Incheon missed the post even though Park Kyung-seop's shot came out in a free kick opportunity that followed immediately. Incheon was followed by shots by Kim Gun-hee and Mugosa, but failed to score.

Gimpo has also made a replacement. In the 28th minute of the second half, Kim Ji-hoon and Kim Gyeol were added instead of Lee Sang-min and Cho Sung-joon. Incheon also put Kim Min-seo in place of Kim Bo-seop to counter it. A large variable occurred in the 32nd minute of the second half. Chapman and Gervaiso bumped into each other again. Gervaiso fell from the inside of the box. The referee confirmed the situation through VAR. However, Gersault's offside was ruled and there was no penalty. The game went on normally.

Gimpo made a change by adding Jegal Jae-min instead of Dongjin Park in the 41st minute of the second half. The battle between Gimpo, which is trying to protect, and Incheon, which is trying to overturn the game, continued. The extra time was a whopping 10 minutes. Incheon put Kim Sung-min in place of Gervo. Gimpo also included Lee Chan-hyung and Kim Min-ho and Cheon Ji-hyun without design.

Incheon, which had been tapping, scored a goal. In the second half of extra time, Moon Ji-hwan scored in a set-piece situation. Moon Ji-hwan rushed the ball that bounced off the opponent's goalkeeper and completed it with a score. However, in the process, Moon Ji-hwan left due to an injury.
