That was the smile of Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Kim Doo-hyun. Jeonbuk avoided direct relegation. Jeonbuk won 3-1 against Daegu FC at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 10th with consecutive goals by Kim Jin-kyu in the 24th minute of the second half, Kwon Chang-hoon in the 40th minute, and Lee Seung-woo in the 44th minute. Jeonbuk reported its first victory in the split round with the victory on the day. Jeonbuk (41 points) widened the point gap with the lowest Incheon United (36 points) to five points with the victory, and succeeded in avoiding direct relegation for now. He emerged as the 10th with 41 points, beating Daegu (40 points).
Coach Kim said in a post-match press conference, `I'm glad we won the game because we needed to win. The players had a hard time preparing mentally every day. Thank you to the players who endured until the end and endured mentally. I thank the fans for their support from behind."
Jeonbuk failed to take advantage of its first half opportunity. He scored three goals in the second half. Manager Kim said, `In general, the opponent is in a high situation both physically and intensively. The opponent is the team aiming for the counter. If he had scored in the first half, he would have easily solved the game, but I'm glad he won." Then "We pressed as we cut it. I also tried to take the middle fight to my advantage. After scoring, the opponent tries to win, and there is space when he tries to take advantage of Edgar's height. Kwon Chang-hoon and Lee Seung-woo played a good role as they entered. I want to praise the defenders who endured well until they got cramps.
