Daegu FC, led by head coach Kim Byung-soo, drew 1-1 in the first game of the final B against Ulsan HD at Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan. Daegu took the lead with Kim Joo-gong's first goal, but it was tied by allowing Lee Chung-yong to equalize. Daegu seemed to secure victory after 14 consecutive wins without a win, but its winless streak increased to 15 games (5 draws and 10 losses). He has one win and three draws this season.
There was a scene of controversy. It was in the 19th minute of the second half when Daegu was leading 1-0. While Cesinha was trapping with his right foot at the boundary of the penalty box, the ball hit Jung Seung-hyun's chest and arm inside. The referee declared a penalty. However, the penalty declaration was reversed after the VAR review.
After the game, Daegu requested confirmation of the Korean Football Association's refereeing committee on the scene. The judging committee held a meeting on the 29th and made a final judgment on the scene. The judging committee said "Daegu's decision to cancel the penalty is heartfelt. The defensive player's right hand was a natural move. The kicked ball was deflected off the defender's stomach and then changed its direction and touched the right hand, he explained.
Meanwhile, Daegu will clash with Suwon FC at Suwon Stadium on Nov. 2. If Daegu loses to Suwon FC in this round and Jeju SK, which went on the road to Gwangju FC on the same day, wins, the difference between points and Jeju will be 10 points with three games left. Daegu will be demoted along with the last place.
