Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors secured a true "theater victory" against Kim Cheon (SVP). After a frustrating 0-0 stalemate, a golden goal in the final moments of stoppage time in the second half finally broke the deadlock. Coach Jeong Jeong-yong of Jeonbuk said, "Thanks to the fans' passionate support until the very end, we maintained our focus and secured the victory."

On the 17th, Jeonbuk defeated Gimcheon 1-0 in a home match of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 Round 15 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium. The official match record shows Tiago's winning goal was scored in the 45th+7th minute of the second half. With six minutes of stoppage time added, the goal came at the very last attacking opportunity.

Coach Jeong Jeong-yong stated, "Although we did not lose in the five matches played in May, it was regrettable and disappointing that we missed opportunities to win some of those games. Fortunately, the players did not lose their focus and secured a victory before the break. Now, through training, we will improve our defensive aspects and match management to build a stronger team."

The coach explained, "We need to train to create organized opportunities to play directly forward. For example, we could consider using a twin-tower formation, drawing opponents out from the flanks, delivering crosses, contesting second balls, or attacking the wings. These are areas we need to consider."

Regarding the possibility of strengthening the squad during the break, he added, "We are in constant communication with the club. We have plenty of time, and we are seriously considering the direction for the team's development."

With this victory, Jeonbuk avoided a third consecutive match without a win and secured their first victory in three matches. Riding a six-match unbeaten run (four wins, two draws), they enter the World Cup break in third place in the league. Their points total stands at 26 (7 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses), six points behind the top-ranked FC Seoul (32 points).
