[앵커]
Jeonbuk and Pohang, the two teams that recently caused controversy over ‘player replacement’ and even ‘forfeit loss’, reached the FA Cup finals side by side, resulting in an ironically fateful match within a week.
It is even more interesting because it is a game where qualification for the Asian Champions League is at stake.
Reporter Lee Jun-hee reports.

Jeonbuk took the lead in the FA Cup semifinals with Moon Seon-min’s opening goal.
Baek Seung-ho scored the winning goal and advanced to the finals for the second year in a row.
[백승호/전북 : “우승도 해본 사람이 한다고 하잖아요. 결승 무대를 많이 뛰었던 선수들이기 때문에 강한 믿음으로 경기에 임하는 게 중요한 것 같습니다.”]
Pohang smiled after a close penalty shootout in the semifinals against Jeju.
A dramatic victory was achieved thanks to the opponent’s miss and Hwang In-jae’s save, and an ironic final matchup with Jeonbuk was concluded.
[김기동/포항 감독 : “(전북이) 강팀이고 우승을 바라보는 팀이기 때문에 부담스러운 건 있어요. (그래도)자신감을 가지고 한다면 승리할 수 있지 않을까 기대하고 있습니다.”]
It’s been 10 years since the two teams faced each other in the FA Cup final, but the real bad blood occurred in last weekend’s league match.
Pohang’s substitution mistake and the referee’s inexperience led to a skit in which 12 Pohang players played for about 6 minutes.
Jeonbuk insisted that Pohang forfeit the game, saying it was a violation of the regulations, and Pohang is fighting back, saying it was a refereeing mistake.
Jeonbuk and Pohang are engaged in a tense war of nerves over whether to forfeit the loss.
In addition, if they win, they can secure a spot in next season’s Asian Champions League, so attention is focused on the FA Cup final to be held the day after tomorrow (the 4th).
