(Korea Cup Preview) Jeonbuk and Gangwon, the first Korea Cup confrontation … ‘Double Challenge’ vs ‘Goal Silence Escape’

(MHN Choi Jun -seo intern reporter) This year, Jeonbuk, which challenges the double, and Kangwon, who needs to change the atmosphere, will face the Korean Cup semi -finals.

Jeonbuk Hyundai and Gangwon FC will face the first leg of the semi -finals of the 2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup held at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Jeonbuk won the semi-finals by defeating FC Seoul 1-0 in the quarter-finals, and Gangwon took 2-1 Daegu FC.

Jeonbuk is showing a strong performance this year. In the league, he continued his undefeated march and the second place Kim Cheon Sang -mu was 17 points. Jeonbuk is undefeated in 25 games, including the Korea Cup, and challenges the double this year when the league will win.

Jeonbuk won 3-0 in Ansan Greeners in the third round, which was the first match of the Korea Cup this year. Jeonbuk, which failed to score until the regular time, advanced to the round of 16 with the scoring of the extension and compassion. In the round of 16, Hernandez was sent off after three goals against Hana Citizen, but won two runs. In the match against Seoul, which was held in Sangam’s expedition, Song Min -kyu scored the final goal in the second half of the 42nd minute after a tight flow.

Jeonbuk operated a rotation against Daegu in the 26th round of the league, which was held on the 16th. The main defender Hong Jung -ho and Kim Tae -hyun took a break, and Kim Young -bin did not compete in the game due to the cumulative discipline of warning. Jeonbuk won a 3-0 victory in Daegu after running a few rotations, and Jeon Jin-woo, who had not scored for two months, scored a goal and regained the mood.

Gus Poe, who leads Jeonbuk, is expected to challenge the finals by using the best 11 in the Korea Cup because he operates the main lineup in most games without a big rotation.

Meanwhile, Gangwon has recently risen. Kangwon, who recruited Mo Jae -hyun and Kim Gun -hee in the summer transfer market, and the Korean -American and Kim Dae -won, scored a victory in the vagina game by scoring the additional theater goals in the second half. However, he failed to score in the recent two games, and in particular, the 26th round Jeju SK was not able to score a goal even when the opponent was sent off.

Gangwon is currently in the 8th place in the league, but the league scorer is the lowest. Kangwon, who scored 24 goals in 26 league games, couldn’t score two more goals than the lowest Daegu. It is a Gangwon that needs to be solved by scoring. Gangwon won the Siheung Citizens’ Football Team in the Korea Cup Round of 16 and the quarter-finals against Daegu 2-1.

Jeonbuk and Gangwon are the first to meet in the Korea Cup. The two teams who met three times in the league this year are ahead of Jeonbuk with 2 wins and 1 loss. Jeonbuk has been undefeated in the league after losing to Gangwon in March, and Gangwon has no victory after losing 0-2 in Jeonbuk in the 23rd round in July. Both teams will play the second leg of the Korea Cup on the 27th at the Gangneung High1 Arena at 7 pm.
