Jeonbuk won 3-2 in an extended fight against K3 League (third division) Paju Citizens Club in the round of 16 of the Hana Bank 2023 FA Cup held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 24th.
In the round of 16, Jeonbuk, Ulsan, Pohang Steelers, and Incheon United, who have advanced to the Asian Football Confederation Champions League (ACL) finals and playoffs, will play together. Given that it was the first game, it was expected that it would be a difficult journey.
In the case of Jeonbuk, the hunting in the K-League 1 was revealed. In Jeonbuk, which has fired manager Kim Sang-sik and is operating under the acting system of Kim Doo-hyun, the atmosphere of the team is in flux.
Still, they managed the game skillfully in the FA Cup, which had won experience, and Gustavo broke through the defense and scored the opening goal in the 30th minute of the first half. However, 4 minutes later, Kwak Rae-seung conceded and the score was 1-1.
Of course, Gustavo scored another unbalanced goal in the 38th minute with good foot skills and ran away 2-1 in the first half, but in the 13th minute of the second half, it was difficult to concede to Seong Jeong-yoon. Paju was able to catch a big fish with just one goal, so they fought hard, but one goal left them with regret.
Ultimately, the game went to overtime. Jeonbuk showed an advantage in the aerial competition and gradually shook Paju, and Gustavo, who received a cross from Song Min-gyu in the 13th minute of the first half of extra time, completed a hat-trick and scored a Pellescore.
In the second half of extra time, Jeonbuk, with a thicker base of players, had the advantage. In the 5th minute, Kim Jin-soo’s cross from the left flank touched Park Jin-seop’s head, and the ball flew into the air and into the left corner of the goal. It was a disappointing loss for Paju. In the 9th minute, Cho Kyu-seong connected the ball from the right flank, and Gustavo completed 4 goals with a left-footed grounder shot, confirming the victory.

Ulsan Hyundai won a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Jeonnam Dragons at the Gwangyang Soccer Stadium. Throughout the first half, Jeonnam’s defense complained of frustration, and in the 18th minute of the second half, Hanam conceded a goal and was dragged away.
However, Lim Jong-eun’s equalizer in the second half of extra time took the game into overtime, and Martin Adam scored the come-from-behind goal two minutes into the first half of extra time. If you put it in within 90 minutes, it is Ulsan that there was nothing to consume stamina.
Jeonnam strengthened their defense with Yoo Ji-ha at the center and aimed for a goal again, but it was not easy. The main attacking team, such as Bako, Joo Min-gyu, and Adam, continued to press the front, making it difficult to develop the ball forward. The game was not run normally due to injuries such as Hanam and others, and the game ended without any further reversal.
