Jeonbuk Hyundai, the lone leader in K League 1, made a thrilling come-from-behind victory over Suwon FC.

Jeonbuk beat Suwon FC 3-2 in the 19th round of the 2025 K League 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 17th. He lost the game by conceding two goals in the first half alone, but he eventually won by inducing Kim Jin-kyu's chase goal in the 6th minute of the second half, Compagno's equalizer in the 26th minute, and the opponent's own goal through a pass play in the 44th minute of the second half. With the victory, Jeonbuk has 12 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses, and 41 points, further widening the gap with the second-place Daejeon Hana Citizen (32 points), which did not play on the day. The league's unbeaten streak since the match against the Pohang Steelers on March 16 has increased to 15 games (10 wins and 5 draws). Suwon FC, which had sought to escape winless (two draws and two losses) for four consecutive games, shed tears amid a lack of hindsight. The season record was three wins, seven draws and nine losses (16 points).

Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye put Thiago at the forefront and entrusted Song Min-gyu and Jeon Jin-woo to attack the side. In place of Park Jin-seop, who was accumulated in warnings, Boateng came out and worked with Kim Jin-kyu and Kang Sang-yoon. Kim Tae-hyun, Kim Young-bin, Hong Jung-ho, and Kim Tae-hwan stood on the back four, and Song Min-gyu stood on the goal. Suwon FC head coach Kim Eun-joong deployed Luan Lee Jae-won and Noh Kyung-ho in the midfield while forming an offensive line with Sabak Andersson Kim Do-yoon. Seo Jae-min, Lee Ji-sol, Choi Kyu-baek, Kim Tae-han, and Ahn Jun-su defended the goal.




The first half was an extraordinary event. Suwon FC pressed Jeonbuk with two goals. Kim Do-yoon successfully broke through with a two-on-one pass play in front of Hong Jeong-ho in front of the arc, before hitting the net with a left-footed shot from the right side of the gate.

Jeonbuk soon launched a counterattack, but rarely opened the goal of Suwon FC. In the 26th minute of the first half, Song Min-gyu connected with a left-footed shot from the left side of the gate after Jeon Jin-woo passed through two defenders and connected strongly from the right side of the gate. While Jeonbuk was wandering, Suwon FC beat Kim Young-bin with a wrapped heel kick on the ball that crossed to the right side of the Jeonbuk camp in the 31st minute of the first half, then beat Hong Jung-ho, dug to the right side of the gate, and connected with a left-footed shot to break the net again. The first half ended with Suwon FC's 2-0 lead.

At the beginning of the second half, coach Foye chose to change by excluding Boateng and Song Min-gyu and putting in Lee Young-jae and Lee Seung-woo. Director Kim also sent Jang Yun-ho instead of Kim Do-yoon.




Jeonbuk made a comeback in the 7th minute of the second half. Kim Jin-kyu's right footed shot, which was attempted as a kicker in a free-kick chance caught by Jeon Jin-woo from the right side of the arc, broke the net and narrowed the gap with Suwon FC to one goal.

Jeonbuk, which gained momentum, staged a wave of attacks. Kim Jin-kyu and Lee Seung-woo's effective shots came out one after another, heating the atmosphere. The left and right side attacks also began to revive, shaking Suwon FC's defense. There was a situation that would not be strange whenever an equalizer came out. In the 18th minute of the second half, Kwon Chang-hoon replaced Kim Tae-hwan, strengthening the offensive. In the 22nd minute of the second half of Suwon FC, Jung Seung-bae and Lee Hyun-yong replaced Sabak and Luan. Coach Foyet aimed for the equalizer in the 25th minute of the second half by sending out Compagno instead of Kim Jin-kyu.

In the end, Jeonbuk tied the game. In the 27th minute of the second half, Kang Sang-yoon's cross from the left side of the penalty area was scored by Compagno with a header from the right side of the gate, and the game went back to square one 2-2.




Jeonbuk continued its offensive based on its dominant share and sought to turn the tables. Suwon FC responded with counterattacks using left and right sides and long passes, but it was not enough to open Jeonbuk's goal.

Jeonbuk attacked Suwon FC's camp with a pass play in the 44th minute of the second half, and the pass to Lee Seung-woo, who penetrated the gate, hit Suwon FC Kim Tae-han's foot and scored an own goal to turn the game around. In the end, Jeonbuk finished the game with a one-goal victory.
