It is a huge surprise. Bucheon FC 1995, which was the first team to play in the first division for the first time, performed "giant killing" at the home turf of defending champion Jeonbuk Hyundai.

Bucheon came from behind to beat Jeonbuk 3-2 at 2 p.m. on the 1st with Gallego's multi-goal and Montagno's score in the first round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 away game at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

Bucheon, which was promoted through the promotion playoff (PO) last season, had a spectacular initiation ceremony by overpowering Jeonbuk, which is called the strongest, from the first game.

Jeonbuk, the home team, played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Mota was set up at the front line and Kim Seung-seop, Kim Jin-kyu and Lee Dong-joon were placed in the second line. Maeng Sung-woong and Auberdan were in charge of the midfield, and Kim Tae-hyun, Kim Young-bin, Park Ji-soo and Kim Tae-hwan built a four-back. Song Bum-keun defended the goal.

Bucheon faced off 3-5-2. Montagno and Vasani came out as two-top players, while Ahn Tae-hwan and Shin Jae-won were in charge of the side. The midfield was composed of Kim Seung-bin, Kaz and Yoon Bit-garam, while Patrick, Baek Dong-gyu, and Hong Sung-wook were located in the defense. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Kim Hyung-geun.

The game was tight from the beginning. Jeonbuk took the lead, and Bucheon was also not behind in the midfield battle.

The first goal was scored in the 12th minute of the first half. Lee Dong-joon cut the net in a free kick situation. Lee Dong-joon did not miss the ball that flowed after hitting Bucheon defender Baek Dong-gyu and finished with a right foot shot.

Bucheon also fought back. In the 25th minute, Gallego intercepted Jeonbuk Park Ji-soo's long pass mistake and ran into the box and shook the net with his left foot. It is the first first division goal in Bucheon history.

Jeonbuk pitched Lee Seung-woo at the beginning of the second half and threw a winning move.

The home team took the lead again. 8 min Lee Dong-joon completed a multi-goal. When Lee Seung-woo's kick hit the head of the Bucheon defense and floated high, Lee Dong-joon finished with a fantastic left-footed Caesars kick.

Bucheon has launched a counterattack. The power exploded at the end of the second half. Montagno, who received Gallego's header pass in the 37th minute, levelled the game with a powerful right footed shot in front of the box.

There was also a crisis. In the 40th minute, when Lee Seung-woo's shot hit the post, Kim Young-bin pushed it into the header, but the VAR declared offside during Lee Seung-woo's penetration and the score was canceled.

Bucheon, which was revived, completed a dramatic reversal in the second half of the extra time. In 4 minutes of extra time, Tae-hyun won a penalty from Chumashi, Jeonbuk, and Gallego, who was a kicker, calmly finished with his left foot in the 6th minute.

With this, Bucheon scored its first first first-division victory against defending champion Jeonbuk. On the other hand, Jeonbuk, which started anew under coach Chung Jung-yong, failed to continue its momentum to win the Super Cup and got off to a shaky start as it was hit on its home turf.
