Jeonbuk Hyundai is at the center of the new history of Korean professional football with 4 consecutive victories and 8 victories in the K-League.

[이뉴스투데이 전북취재본부 김은태 기자] Jeonbuk Hyundai placed itself at the center of the new history of Korean professional football when the final match of the 2020 K1 League was crowned with victory on Day 1.

Jeonbuk Hyundai was defeated 2-0 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Day 1 in the final match of the 2020 season with Daegu FC and HanawonQ K League 1 thanks to a multiple goal from Cho Gyu-sung and kept the trophy of the championship.

Jeonbuk, who won this matchday, surpassed Ulsan (17 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses, 57 points) with 19 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses (60 points), and reached the top of K-League 1 this year.

With this, Jeonbuk Hyundai wrote a new Korean soccer history, claiming the title of the first four consecutive victories in Korean professional soccer history that no team has achieved (8 times).

Today’s game attracted attention as a retirement game where Lee Dong-guk ends his 23-year professional life.

Lee Dong-guk was selected as the front-line forward and, for the first time this season, he received huge applause from fans for his full-time performance.

In today’s game, Jo In-seong lit the ball one after the other in the 26th and 39th minutes of the first half, highlighting Lee Dong-guk’s retirement game.

Lee Dong-guk said goodbye to the K-League with the winning trophy, leaving a mark of 548 games (228 goals, 77 assists) in the K-League.

Jeonbuk challenged the eighth K-League champion on this day and at the same time prepared a meaningful time with the fans.

After the game, Jeonbuk held a retirement ceremony for Lee Dong-guk, known as ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Living Legend’.

Jeonbuk delivered 10,000 special claps with Lee Dong-guk’s name and uniform number to the fans to greet the fans for a beautiful breakup.

On this day, the stadium was filled with the biggest fans despite the distance limit, with 10,251 people admitted to watch Jeonbuk Hyundai’s victory.

The fan cars formed a long line, and although there was no screaming, cheers rang out in the sky.

On the other hand, on this day, after the Battle of Gwangju in Gyeonggi Province on the 18th, the ‘big’ award event that the players gave to the fans continued.

A Hyundai Motor Company ‘The New Kona’, 10 LG home appliances and local specialties (Buan salted fish game, Wanju grain game, Muju Cheonmago game) were presented through a half-time award.
