Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Gus Foye looked coolly at the situation where he is currently losing consecutive games.

Jeonbuk lost 2-3 in the second quarterfinal match against Sydney FC in the "2024-2025 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League 2 (ACL2)" held at Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney, Australia, at 5 p.m. on Tuesday (Korea time). Jeonbuk lost 2-5 overall in the first and second leg, and it was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Jeonbuk, which had been pushing Sydney hard from the beginning of the first half, trailed by one goal overall in the 35th minute of the first half. Jeon Jin-woo, who received Kim Jin-kyu's pass, shook the net with a one-touch shot. In the fourth minute of added time in the first half, Jeon Jin-woo added another goal from a corner kick situation to balance the result.

However, Jeonbuk had to concede a comeback goal to Alexander Grand at the 14th minute of the second half when the team was given a free kick. Jeonbuk was shaky after conceding a goal. It gave up an equalizer to Patrick Klimara at the 26th minute of the second half. Jeonbuk even lost 2-3 by conceding a penalty goal to Douglas Costa at the 37th minute of the second half.

After the game, coach Foyet said, "I had a good first-half attack on the opponent. I think we need to analyze the three runs in the second half. I think there is a problem with the team as a whole rather than with a specific player. After the first loss, a lot of players collapsed mentally."

With the loss of the match, Jeonbuk has won four consecutive official matches. Jeonbuk, which had a good start with three wins and one draw in four official matches earlier this season, has lost two consecutive games in K League 1 and two consecutive games in ACL 2 since the Hyundai Derby defeat against Ulsan HD on the 1st, recording a total of four consecutive losses.

"Overall, we were well prepared, but we were disappointed with the result," Foye said. "It seems that the bad parts of the players from last season have been repeated. There was no difficulty in preparing for the game. I trained well on the first day and the day before, and progressed well without any muscle injuries during the training. I think the result is painful."

Jeonbuk will play the fifth round against the Pohang Steelers at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 16th. Coach Foye said, "When I return to Korea, I have only one day of training after my arrival. There are some players left in Korea and I think I will have to prepare for the league with them. We have a match against Pohang on Sunday, so we have to focus on the game now." 토토사이트

Foyet also expressed regret over the grass. "Honestly, the grass was not good. I was fortunate that we had an official training session on the previous day. After the training session, I instructed the players to pay attention to the soccer boots because the ground was a little slippery," Foyet said.
