The summary of the match was shaped by a sharp three-minute spell in the first half. Gimcheon moved in front just before the half-hour when Go Jae-hyeon finished from Jung Jae-min's assist at 28'58''. Bucheon hit back quickly through Dong Gyu Baek at 31'55'', with Patrick William credited for the assist, and the equalizer was confirmed after a VAR check at 32'50''.
After that, the game became more fractured than fluid. Kim Sang-jun went into the book for Bucheon on 45 minutes, and the visitors changed the rhythm just after the hour with Rodrigo Bassani Da Cruz, Jeong-in Park and Kim Jong-woo all introduced. Gimcheon responded with Tae-joon Park at 63'02'', then made a triple substitution in the 73rd minute as Kim In-gyun, Jeon Byung-kwan and Lee Sangheon came on.
A VAR review at 69'23'' ended with no red card for Bucheon, and Ahn Tae-hyun later saw yellow at 86'59'' as the away side held firm. The result leaves Gimcheon Sangmu 10th and Bucheon 11th in the table, both on 24 points after 22 matches, and the score and stats reflect a contest settled before halftime.
