Kick-off. Suwon pushed hard. Peter, Son Seok-yong and Park Seung-soo tried to shoot one after another. Gimpo created a chance to attack with a counterattack. Louis, Plana took the lead in the attack. Both teams did not hesitate to fight wildly. But it wasn't finished. The first half ended 0-0.

Gimpo's attacks intensified at the beginning of the second half. Gimpo was disappointed that Plana's header shot bounced off the opponent's goal post in the 8th minute of the second half.




Gimpo took out the replacement card first. In the 16th minute of the second half, Zegal Jae-min was put in place of Bruno. The game got fiercer. Suwon's Son Suk-yong hit a left-footed shot, but failed to score due to the opponent's goalkeeper's save. Jang Yun-ho and Lewis shot in succession for Gimpo, but slightly missed the opponent's goal.

Suwon also took out replacement cars. Peter, Son Seok-yong was removed, and Kang Hyun-mook and Paulino were added. Gimpo created a series of chances to attack. However, both Plana's shot in a free kick situation and Zegal Jae-min's counterattack shot missed Suwon's goal. Suwon changed once again by adding Park Sang-hyuk instead of Park Seung-soo. Suwon failed to shake the opponent's goal in both Lee Ki-je in a free kick situation and Kim Hyun's shot in a corner kick situation.

Gimpo once again made a player change. Instead of a plana, shin min was added. Both teams were in a hurry. Eventually, an argument broke out on the ground. In the process of Suwon Hong Won-jin blocking Jegal Jae-min in Gimpo, a rough argument broke out between the two players.

There was nowhere else to back down. The two teams played the game at the same time. Suwon added Lee Jong-sung and Mulich instead of Hong Won-jin and Lee Gyu-dong. Gimpo put in Kim Min-ho's Jonghyun Lee without Lee Yong-hyuk and Seo Jae-min.

The extra time for the second half is five minutes. Suwon has launched a general offensive. But there was no score. The game ended 0-0. The players fell to the ground and swallowed their disappointment.
