Daejeon Citizen overturned an early setback to dominate the second half, racking up 90 dangerous attacks and 11 shots compared to Anyang's four as they wore down their visitors. Anyang struck first through Matheus Oliveira after just 10 minutes, but Daejeon responded almost immediately after the restart when Joo Min Kyu leveled from Myungjae Lee's assist, shifting the momentum firmly in the hosts' favor. Victor Bobsin's 65th-minute strike and Joo's converted penalty ten minutes later looked to have settled the contest, only for Airton Moises to convert a late penalty of his own and set up a nervy finish. Despite Anyang's spirited fight and superior foul count suggesting a scrappier, more physical approach, Daejeon's control of territory and clinical edge in front of goal ultimately proved decisive in this local derby with title-race implications.
