(MHN Geum Yoon -ho reporter) Professional football Gwangju FC is close to the first Korea Cup final.
Gwangju defeated Bucheon FC 2-0 in the first leg of the 2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup semi-finals held at the Gwangju World Cup Stadium on the 20th.
As a result, Gwangju increased the possibility of the finals that could not be achieved in Ulsan HD in the semi -final last year. Gwangju can go to the finals in the second leg of the game. The second leg is Bucheon Home, Bucheon, on the 27th.
On the other hand, the K -League 2 Bucheon, which won the K -League 1 Jeju SK and Kim Cheon, was the only one in the quarter -finals.
On the day, Gwangju took the lead by cutting the goal net with a strong header on the right side of the penalty box.
Then, the penalty kicked by the handball foul by Bucheon defender Park Hyung-jin was then 2-0.
In the second half, both teams aimed at the opponent’s goal, but the game ended with Gwangju’s 2-0 victory without any additional goals.
In the first leg of the semi-finals at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the same day, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Gangwon FC drew 1-1.
As a result, the Korea Cup Final Ticket will be held on the 27th at the Gangneung High1 Arena.
Jeonbuk, the winner of the Korea Cup, 5 times (2000, 2003, 2005, 2020, 2022), has been listed by Lee Seung -woo, Tiago, and Lee Young -jae, who have recently been in the start of the start.
In addition to Lee Kwang -yeon, a goalkeeper in Gangwon -do, most of the main players took a break, and Yoon Il -rok, Lee Sang -heon, and Choi Byung -chan were selected.
The home team Jeonbuk shook the net in the 37th minute, but it was not recognized as the first goal because of the handball foul in the process of receiving the pass of Jeon Jin -woo.
Jeonbuk, who swallowed the regret, took the goal of Lee Young-jae’s cross on the right side of the box in the second half of the free kick.
However, Kangwon, who did not retreat easily, was equipped with Kim Kang-guk’s penetration pass in the second half of the 17th minute.
Since then, the two teams have created a threatening scene, but the two team goalkeepers shine and could not determine the game.
