Suwon stunned the hosts by taking an early 2-0 lead but Kashima pulled one back soon after and scored two late goals to clinch an unlikely victory. There was a sensational start as Suwon took the lead in the second minute of the game through an own goal. Yeom Ki-hun’s low corner was touched goalwards by Koo Ja-ryong and it came off Atsuto Uchida’s shoulder before crossing the line. Unbelievably, it was 2-0 to the visitors just four minutes later. A poor defensive clearance saw the ball fall to Dejan Damjanovic and the striker surged toward goal before beating Kwoun Sun-tae from a narrow angle at his near post.
