Gimcheon Sangmu made a come-from-behind victory over Daegu FC, overturning the two-goal gap.
Gimcheon came from behind to win 3-2 in the 22nd round of the 2025 K League 1 at Daegu iM Bank Park on the 18th. Won Ki-jong's upset header in the 46th minute of the second half led to the winning goal. Gimcheon, who was dragged away by giving up two goals in the first half alone, secured three valuable away points as it brought a victory. With the victory, Gimcheon had 10 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, and 35 points. Daegu easily took the lead by scoring two goals in the first half, but he bowed his head due to a lack of hindsight. The season record was not out of the bottom with three wins, five draws and 14 losses and 14 points.

Daegu hit the ground in the 48th minute of the second half when Lee Yong-rae's header was blocked by Lee Ju-hyun.
