Jeonbuk beat Suwon FC 2-0 in the 33rd round of the 2025 K League 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 18th. As a result, Jeonbuk, which had 71 points, widened the gap with second-place Gimcheon Sangmu (55 points), which lost 1-4 to FC Anyang at the same time, to 16 points, confirming its league victory regardless of the results of the remaining five games. Jeonbuk, which had previously won 19 K-League titles (2009, 2011, 2014-2015, 2017-2021), became the first team to win double-digit titles in league history as it ascended the throne again in four years. In addition, he secured the championship in 33 games, matching the record of winning the K League 1 for the shortest period (33 games) they set in 2018.
Jeonbuk coach Gus Foye started Lee Seung-woo instead of Jeon Jin-woo, who was absent due to accumulated warning disciplinary action. While Compagno kept the front line, Song Min-gyu and Lee Seung-woo were on the left and right sides, and Kim Jin-gyu, Kang Sang-yoon and Park Jin-seop worked together in the midfield. Choi Chul-soon, Yeon Je-woon, Hong Jung-ho, and Kim Tae-hwan stood on the defense line, and Song Bum-keun stood on the goal. Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong put Sabak at the forefront and Noh Kyung-ho and Luan Kim Kyung-min at the second. Lee Jae-won and Han Chan-hee took the defensive midfielder position, Hwang In-taek, Lee Ji-sol, Kim Tae-han and Lee Si-young in the four-back line, and Hwang Jae-yoon in the goal.

Afterwards, Jeonbuk took the lead in the game and beat the goal of Suwon FC. However, in the 28th minute of the first half, Lee Seung-woo's left-footed shot from the left side of the gate was deflected off Compagno and sucked into the net, but as a result of VAR, it was canceled due to Compagno's handball foul, missing the opportunity to score an additional goal. Compagno was injured in the 32nd minute of the first half and signed a replacement on the bench, and in the 35th minute of the first half, Thiago replaced the empty spot. Suwon FC was given an indirect free kick following the referee's judgment that Song Bum-keun committed a handball foul on the left side of the penalty area with eight minutes left in the first half, but the first half ended with a 1-0 Jeonbuk lead without leading to an equalizer.

However, Jeonbuk widened the gap. In the 11th minute of the second half, VAR was made on the mixed situation of Suwon FC's camp, and Jeonbuk was given a penalty. The gap widened by two goals in the 15th minute of the second half when Thiago, who was a kicker, hit the net with a right-footed shot.
Suwon FC later attempted to chase with an onslaught. However, in the 31st minute of the second half, the shot hit the post, and Song Bum-keun's good defense overlapped, causing difficulties.
At the same time, when the news of Gimcheon's 1-4 loss to Anyang broke out, Jeonju-seong's shouts of winning began to ring out. Jeonbuk finished the game with a 2-0 complete victory, eventually confirming its 10th championship.
