I didn't lose three times. Managing director Kim Cheon caught Jeonbuk Hyundai in the first round.
Kim Cheon-sang beat Jeonbuk Hyundai 2-1 in the away game of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Park Sang-hyuk scored one goal and one assist. Gimcheon (49 points) has lost two consecutive games. In addition, he won the match against Jeonbuk for the first time this season. On the other hand, Jeonbuk (66 points) ended its winning streak at '2'.

Gimcheon utilized a 4-4-2 tactic. Park Sang-hyuk and Lee Dong-kyung formed a two-top. Kim Seung-seop, Lee Seung-won, Maeng Sung-woong and Lee Dong-joon formed the midfield. Park Chul-woo, Park Chan-yong, Kim Kang-san, and Lee Jung-taek were located in Four Back. Lee Ju-hyun defended the goal.
Jeonbuk had a 4-3-3 formation. With Compagno at the center, Song Min-gyu and Jeon Jin-woo led the attack. Kim Jin-gyu, Park Jin-seop and Lee Young-jae were located at the waist. Choi Woo-jin, Kim Young-bin, Hong Jung-ho, and Kim Tae-hwan were in charge of defense. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Song Bum-keun.
It was a match between No. 1 Jeonbuk and No. 2 Gimcheon. However, there was a gap of 20 points between the two teams. Jeonbuk had 66 points and Gimcheon had 46 points. If Jeonbuk catches Gimcheon in this round, the scenario of confirming the championship before the start of the final round could have become a reality. The atmosphere was good, too. Jeonbuk has recently won two games in a row. He showed strong performance by winning two games against Gimcheon this season. On the other hand, Gimcheon slowed down with two consecutive losses.

The first shot came from Gimcheon's toes. In the 6th minute of the first half, Lee Dong-kyung attempted a mid-range shot. However, he was blocked by Jeonbuk goalkeeper's good defense. Jeonbuk also fought back. Song Min-gyu's shot came out, but this time, the Gimcheon goalkeeper blocked it. Gimcheon immediately launched a counterattack. Lee Dong-kyung tried to shoot again. However, Song Bum-keun's save came out again this time. In the 17th minute of the first half, Song Min-gyu's shot came out, but it bounced off the Gimcheon goal post.
The breathless game fell into a lull for a while. The tight '0' balance was broken in the 38th minute of the first half. Gimcheon scored the first goal. Kim Seung-seop received Park Sang-hyuk's pass and shook Jeonbuk's net with a right-footed shot. Kim Seung-seop fired a self-congratulatory shot in his 200th game in the K League. Gimcheon, who was in the mood, scored an additional goal in the first half of the extra time. Park Sang-hyuk scored Lee Dong-kyung's cross with his right foot in a corner kick situation. Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye entered the locker room even before the whistle at the end of the first half. Gimcheon finished with a 2-0 lead in the first half.
