"Thanks to the fans' support, the players fought until the end."
Jeonbuk Hyundai and Daejeon Hana Citizen recorded a 1-1 draw in their match during the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 Round 12 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 6th.
Jeonbuk maintained second place with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, totaling 22 points. Daejeon held onto first place with 8 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses, totaling 27 points.
Daejeon coach Hwang Sun-hong said after the match, "I thought it would be difficult to play an away game against the team with the most momentum in the K League. However, the players did not give up until the end and scored the equalizer. Thanks to the fans' support, the players fought until the end. We will prepare well for the match against Seoul."
After conceding the opening goal, Coach Hwang deployed a more aggressive style of football, explaining, "We needed more attacking work because time was short. It was successful in the end."
After losing 0-2 in their previous home match, Daejeon recorded a draw this time. Coach Hwang remarked, "Jeonbuk plays a direct style of football, making it difficult for the opponent to recover. We will show a significantly different appearance in the next match."
Meanwhile, Coach Hwang Sun-hong said, "Though we have more injuries, every match is intensely competitive. We are planning rotations, but it's not unfolding as planned. After June, some players will be enlisted in the military. While significant reinforcements may be difficult, we are preparing well."
