Jeonbuk made a miraculous come-from-behind victory over Gangwon in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup' held at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 27th. However, with the victory, he suffered considerable damage in the process of reaching the final with a combined score of 3 to 2. Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye was sent off during the game and cannot play in the final against Gwangju. Why on earth was director Foyet sent off?

The situation happened in the 10th minute of the second half. Referee Kim Dae-yong, who oversaw the game, decided that Jeonbuk defender Kim Tae-hwan committed a holding foul on Gangwon striker Mo Jae-hyun in the previous set-piece scene and declared a penalty kick for Gangwon after a VAR on-field review. Jeonbuk's bench strongly opposed the decision. Coach Foyet, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision from the first half, also exploded.

According to an official at the scene, coach Foyet eventually swore at the judges several times, saying 'Fxxing Foul' (a hell of a foul). There are times when a foreign leader swears out 'F'. However, the referee judged that it was completely different to directly complain about the decision and swear, and referee Kim Dae-yong reportedly ordered him to leave in the end. Coach Foyet made an unspoken protest at the decision, drawing an `X' with both arms as he left the bench and headed toward the stands.




It wasn't only Foye who left on this day. Foyet's son, tactical coach Diego Foyet, was sent off after the game with a dramatic come-from-behind victory. The reason for Diego's exit was 'Invasion of the stadium' An official said "Coach Diego, who is not on the starting leadership list, stormed the stadium. In addition, he even cursed as a protest against the decision.'

Coach Jeong Jo-guk, who attended the press conference on behalf of Foye, who left, said, `As you all know, Foye is a person who expresses passionately to the players,' adding, `It was not a situation that deserved to be sent off.' Regarding Diego's departure, he declined to say, `It's not for me to say it.'

Jeonbuk had something to gain from coach Foye's exit. Captain Park Jin-seop said "After Foye was sent off, the players said 'Let's go to the final for the coach's sake and played harder."." Jeonbuk, which lost to Kim Dae-won in the 8th minute of the second half, equalized with Thiago's penalty in the 3rd minute of the second half, and Chumasi scored a 2-1 come-from-behind victory in the 8th minute of extra time.




Park Jin-seop said "The best win of the season "

Coach Jeong Jo-guk said, `This is the power of Jeonbuk, the power of Coach Foye. Coach Foye, who took over this year, made the team well from the pre-season. In a difficult situation for the team, all the team members showed fantastic performances. I am pleased that Foyet is having a very good impact on the team."

Coach Foye will not be allowed to sit on the bench in the Korea Cup final against Gwangju at Seoul World Cup Stadium on December 6 unless he is a post-mortem relief. It is a big variable in the game that will determine whether Jeonbuk will double for the first time in five years.
