Dramatic retention in professional soccer Jeonbuk Final A
Professional soccer team Jeonbuk Hyundai, which beat Seoul and finished from 7th to 4th, made a comeback. Jeonbuk won 2-0 in the K-League round 33 away game against FC Seoul at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 8th with goals from Han Kyo-won (33) in the 14th minute of the second half 스포츠토토and Gustavo (29, Brazil) in the 29th minute of the second half. Until this day, Seoul was 5th (47 points) and Jeonbuk was 7th (46 points), but the rankings changed to 4th in Jeonbuk and 7th in Seoul. The K-League divides 12 teams into two groups, Final A (1st to 6th) and B (7th to 12th), based on their performance through the 33rd round. After each team plays five more games, the final ranking is determined within that group. If you are in Final B, you cannot make it into the top 6 even if you accumulate points in the remaining games. Jeonbuk was founded in 1994 and has won the most K-League 1 championships (9 times) and the most Korean Football Association (FA) Cup wins (5 times). Since the introduction of the split system into Final A and B in 2012, the team has never gone to Final B. The lowest score was 3rd place in 2013. At one point early this season, it fell to 10th place. In May, coach Kim Sang-sik (47) resigned due to poor performance, and after appointing coach Dan Petrescu (56, Romania) in June, the team rose to 3rd place in August, but recently fell back to 7th place. Seoul, caught by Jeonbuk, fell to 7th place and stayed in Final B for four consecutive seasons. In the Ulsan Hyundai-Incheon United match held at the same time, Incheon drew with Ulsan without scoring, dropping Seoul to 6th place (48 points).
