Jeonbuk Hyundai continued its double challenge by writing Miracle of Gangneung.
Jeonbuk won a dramatic 2-1 come-from-behind victory after scoring two goals in extra time alone in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup" against Gangwon at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 27th. Jeonbuk, which was dragged by giving up the first goal to Kim Dae-won in the 8th minute of the second half, turned the game around with Thiago's equalizer in the 4th minute of the second half and Chumasi's come-from-behind goal in the 9th minute of the second half. Jeonbuk, which drew 1-1 at home in the first round, won 1 win, 1 draw, and a combined 3-2 victory. With this, Jeonbuk will reach the final for the first time in two years since 2023 and tap its sixth career championship.
Jeonbuk set up a three-top with Lee Seung-woo and Song Min-gyu. Kang Sang-yoon, Kim Jin-gyu, and Park Jin-seop built the three-middle, and Kim Tae-hwan, Hong Jung-ho, Kim Young-bin, and Kim Tae-hyun took charge of the four-back. Kim Jung-hoon wore goalkeeper gloves. Main winger Jeon Jin-woo was included in the replacement list along with Thiago, Chumashi, and Lee Young-jae. Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye did not hide his expectations about Lee Seung-woo, who has consistently played as a Joker in the league, saying, `He will play an important role today.'
Like the first leg of the semifinal against Jeonbuk, Gangwon pulled out three-back and Perth Nine tactics. Kim Dae-won, Choi Byung-chan, and Mo Jae-hyun were in charge of the offense, while Seo Min-woo and Lee Yoo-hyun were in charge of the midfield. Kang Joon-hyuk and Song Joon-seok are in charge of defense on both sides, while Kang Tu-ji and Park Ho-young and Shin Min-ha set up a three-back. Kim Gun-hee, Koo Bon-cheol, and Lee Ji-ho were on the bench. Gangwon coach Chung Kyung-ho expected Park Ho-young, a 1m98-tall center back, to mark Compagno well.
Coach Chung said in a pre-interview that `It won't be advantageous if you take a day off from Jeonbuk,' but he focused on tying the feet of Jeonbuk players under strong pressure all the time when the game began. Confused Jeonbuk made mistakes again and again, and naturally Gangwon led the flow. Kim Dae-won's right-footed free kick was blocked by Kim Jung-hoon in the 5th minute. In the 9th minute, Kim Dae-won's left-footed mid-range shot went straight to the goalkeeper. Kang Tu-ji, who participated in the attack in the 11th minute, boldly hit the shot on the net.
Jeonbuk, which was crouching, took its first chance in the 16th minute. Park Ho-young couldn't properly control the back pass toward him, so the ball flowed backward. Compagno caught the ball, but quickly followed and blocked the shot with a tackle. Lee Seung-woo caught the ball flowing to the side and tried to shoot again. This time, Park Chung-hyo ran out and cleared the ball. Jeonbuk insisted on fouling the goalkeeper, but the referee ordered the in-play.

In the 23rd minute, Gangwon scored the first goal. Kim Dae-won, who caught the ball at the right diagonal point outside the opponent's penalty box, did not hesitate to swing his left foot. The ball deflected off Jeonbuk's defensive leg and soared high. The ball that passed the goalkeeper's head touched the net. However, the VAR on-field review found that Park Ho-young committed a foul on Kim Jin-kyu during the scoring process, and the score was canceled.
Jeonbuk had a chance after the crisis. In the 30th minute, Kim Jin-kyu looked at the opponent's door and stabbed a penetrating pass that separated the ground. Lee Seung-woo, who caught the ball, tried to shoot with his right foot in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, but Park Chung-hyo sensibly hit him with his legs. The first half ended in a 0-0 tie.
Early in the second half, Jeonbuk's goal became noisy. In a set piece situation, Mo Jae-hyun collapsed after a physical fight with the opponent. The VAR on-field review was conducted, and referee Kim Dae-yong grabbed the microphone and said "Kim Tae-hwan's holding foul occurred and declared a penalty kick." Jeonbuk's bench immediately protested. Coach Foyet and coaches vehemently protested to the referee and the waiting room. In the process, coach Foyet was sent off directly. Coach Foyet walked off the field in an unspoken protest against the decision, drawing the letter 'X' with both hands. The kicker of Gangwon Province is Kim Dae-won. Gangwon took the lead as Kim Dae-won's ball aimed at the bottom of the goal cut through the net.

In the 15th minute of the second half, Jeonbuk scored an equalizer in a counterattack and returned the game to square one. The game was temporarily suspended in the 22nd minute because the sensitive players of both teams were engaged in a group war of nerves. Jeonbuk tried to make a major change by excluding Compagno, Song Min-gyu, Lee Seung-woo and Kim Young-bin, and introducing Thiago, Jeon Jin-woo, Chumasi, and Gamboa. Kim Gun-hee was put in place of Choi Byung-chan in Gangwon-do.
A battle continued. In the 25th minute of the second half, Chumasi's shot went straight to the goalkeeper. Kim Dae-won's shot hit the side net in the 31st minute. Soon after, Chumasi beat Markman with a dribble breakthrough on the opponent's left side and tried to shoot with his right foot after the middle folding motion, but it went off the post. Gangwon put Lee Ji-ho and Lee Ki-hyuk without Mo Jae-hyun and Song Joon-seok.
In the 44th minute of the second half, Park Chung-hyo saved a right-footed mid-range shot that Chumasi boldly hit.
However, Jeonbuk's game began with extra time in the second half. Four minutes into extra time, Thiago got a penalty kick from Park Ho-young. Thiago, who played as a kicker himself, scored. And in the 9th minute of extra time in the second half, Chumasi connected the right cutback with a non-stop right-footed shot and even scored a come-from-behind goal. The game ended in a 2-1 victory for Jeonbuk.
