K League 1 champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors claimed the Super Cup trophy in its first revival in 20 years.
Jeonbuk defeated Daejeon Hana Citizen 2-0 in the Coupang Play K League Super Cup 2026 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Tuesday.
The K League Super Cup is an official competition hosted by the Korea Professional Football League, which oversees K League operations.
The tournament was established in 1999 but discontinued after 2006. It returned this year ahead of the 2026 season with Coupang Play as title sponsor.
The Super Cup features the previous season's K League 1 champion against the Korea Cup winner. Daejeon qualified as K League 1 runners-up after Jeonbuk completed the double last year, winning both the league title and Korea Cup.
This marks Jeonbuk's first Super Cup title, including all previous editions of the tournament.
Manager Jeong Jeong-yong, who took charge of Jeonbuk ahead of this season, secured his first trophy in his debut match.
Daejeon started aggressively. Masa opened with a first-time shot in the box, and the team threatened Jeonbuk's goal through quick wing attacks utilizing Eom Won-sang, Rubixon, and fullbacks Lee Myung-jae and Kim Moon-hwan.
Jeonbuk struck first in the 31st minute. Kim Tae-hyun delivered a cross from an overlapping run on the left, and Motta finished with a left-footed shot while falling, sending the ball into the bottom right corner.
The goal marked Motta's debut for Jeonbuk after his transfer from FC Anyang, where he played in 2025.
Jeonbuk extended their lead in the 57th minute. Tiago, who replaced Motta, headed in Kim Tae-hyun's lofted cross from the left side.
Daejeon earned a penalty in stoppage time but failed to convert as goalkeeper Song Bum-keun saved Diogo's kick. The match ended 2-0.
