Hwang Eui-jo broke the goal net with a header shot as Kim Jin-su (29, Jeonbuk Hyundai) made a precise cross in front of the gate from the left flank in the 16th minute of the first half. With his goal, he ran in front of the fans, closed his eyes and put his right index finger to his mouth to perform a ‘shhh’ ceremony.
