Bucheon and Gwangju will hold the second round of the semifinals of the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup' at 7:30 p.m. on the 27th at Bucheon Stadium. In the first round of the Korea Cup semifinal at home on the 20th, Gwangju won 2-0 with consecutive goals from Jung Ji-hoon and Hayes. Gwangju occupied an advantageous position to reach the final even if it lost by only one goal.
No matter who goes up, it will be the first final. Bucheon is the only K League 2 team to reach the semifinals. It has been nine years since 2016. Bucheon had a rotation in the first game. It focused on the league, excluding foreign players. Game 2 is different. Bucheon showed good performance against Gwangju at home. Since 2022, he has been in the lead with three wins and one loss at home. Bucheon coach Lee Young-min said, `It's not over yet.I will do my best to focus on winning the game with the players so that I can play well in front of my home fans" expressed his determination.
Gwangju, which failed to achieve its dream of reaching the final unfortunately due to being held back by Ulsan in last season's semi-final, will try to reach the final again. Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo expressed his desire to win the Korea Cup. As the goal is to win, I plan to devote 100% to the game on this day. Bucheon is a formidable opponent, but as it has occupied an advantageous position, it is determined to play in the semifinals with relaxed game management.
Including the league, Bucheon has one draw and two losses in the last three games, and Gwangju has two wins and one loss. Bucheon is ranked fourth in the K-League 2, and Gwangju is ranked sixth in the K-League.
Bucheon lost its strength on this day as well. Lee Eui-hyung stepped up as a one-top, and Kim Dong-hyun and Gallego sat on the left and right. Kaz and Park Hyun-bin stood in the midfield, while Kim Kyu-min and Jang Si-young stepped up as left and right wingbacks. The three-back was achieved by Lee Jae-won, Lee Sang-hyuk, and Lee Ye-chan. Kim Hyun-yeop wore goalkeeper gloves. Vasani, Montagno, Tia Gingyo, and Park Chang-jun sat on the bench.
Gwangju was relatively powerful. Fried Jonsson and Moon Min-seo were at the forefront, while Jung Ji-hoon, Lee Kang-hyun, Yoo Je-ho and Oh Soo-sung were in midfield. Ha Seung-woon, Jin Si-woo, Byun Jun-su, and Cho Sung-kwon organized the four-bag. Kim Kyung-min defended the goal. Hayes, Choi Kyung-rok, Shim Sang-min and Ju Se-jong started from the bench.
