1 – 3
“Emerson Negueba stepped up to convert from the spot to give Jeju United a shock lead, capitalising on a corner situation in the build-up that had unsettled the Jeonbuk defence following the early substitution of Shin Jin Kim.”
Pivotal“Seung-woo Lee equalised for Jeonbuk Motors to make it 1-1, providing the home side a lifeline and seemingly setting the stage for a Jeonbuk comeback given their overwhelming territorial advantage throughout the match.”
Pivotal“Just twelve minutes after Jeonbuk had levelled, Negueba struck again to restore Jeju's lead at 1-2, silencing the home crowd and decisively shifting momentum back to the visitors at the exact moment when Jeonbuk appeared poised to take control.”
Pivotal“Negueba completed a stunning hat-trick in stoppage time to seal the three points for Jeju, finishing off a Jeonbuk side who had thrown everything at the visitors but ultimately paid the price for wastefulness in front of goal.”

Outstanding performance
Jeju United•MidfielderJeonbuk Motors dominated almost every metric that matters — 64% possession, 10 corners, 94 dangerous attacks — and yet walked off their own turf on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline, victims of Emerson Negueba's ruthless efficiency in front of goal. Jeju arrived content to absorb pressure and counter, and that pragmatic approach paid dividends when a penalty on 23 minutes gave Negueba his opening. Seung-woo Lee's equaliser on 58 minutes looked to have reignited Jeonbuk's belief and momentum, but within 12 minutes of that leveller, Negueba had restored Jeju's advantage with the goal that broke the home side's spirit. The Brazilian forward then completed his hat-trick deep in stoppage time to put a gloss on a result that was as damaging as it was flattering to the visitors. For Jeonbuk, this defeat — against a side who managed just three shots and two on target — will sting as a sobering reminder that territorial supremacy counts for nothing without the clinical edge to match it, and the result leaves their title aspirations looking increasingly fragile.
