If you lose, you're in last place, 11th place Jeonbuk and 12th place Incheon's so-called brinkmanship battle!

The cheering was on fire even before the start.

The playground literally saved thin ice, one pass and one shot, and the first half ended without any significant scenes.

In the 11th minute of the second half, Andrigo's right foot shot hit the side net, and five minutes later, Boateng's header slightly missed the goal.

Jeonbuk went on the offensive with Lee Seung-woo and Thiago in the last minute, but failed to open Incheon's goal in the end.

The two teams had only 11 shots and only one headed for the goal.

As the players' pressure was reflected in their performance, they were satisfied with sharing one point each.

In particular, Jeonbuk has not scored in three consecutive league games.

Jeonbuk fans, who have lost the pride of a traditional powerhouse this season, expressed their regret for the coach and the club.

Jeonbuk has avoided humiliation for now falling to the bottom, but there is still a difficult journey to protect its Jeonju Castle in the first division.

Jeonbuk is waiting for Daegu and Gwangju, and Incheon is waiting for Daejeon and Daegu.

The last-place fight, which falls straight into the second division without a playoff, with the point gap remaining at two points, is in the fog until the end.

[Kim Doo-hyun / Jeonbuk Coach: There are parts where we have to overcome the pressure and pressure. It's a part where you have to endure until the end and watch the game, so it's important not to lose.]

Contrary to the situation of the two teams, Anyang won the honor of winning the K League 2, which will come up to the first division next season.

Anyang tied 0-0 with Bucheon, securing the K League 2 title regardless of the rest of the game and achieving its dream of being promoted to the first division 11 years after its foundation.
