Sejong Sportstoto WFC suffered a disappointing 4-2 defeat at the hands of Gyeongju Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power WFC in a pulsating Korean WK League encounter on 27 May 2026. Despite a spirited home performance, the visitors’ clinical finishing and second‑half dominance proved decisive at the Sejong Sports Complex.

The match began at a high tempo, with both sides pressing for an early advantage. Sejong Sportstoto took the lead in the 18th minute when a well‑worked corner found the head of their central defender, who powered the ball past the Gyeongju goalkeeper. However, the lead lasted only ten minutes. Gyeongju KHNP responded swiftly, equalising through a counter‑attack that split the home defence. A precise through‑ball set their striker free, and she slotted calmly into the far corner.

The first half ended 1-1, but the game burst into life after the interval. Gyeongju came out with renewed purpose and scored two quick goals inside the opening 15 minutes of the second half. A long‑range strike from outside the box caught the Sejong keeper off guard, and moments later a defensive mix‑up allowed Gyeongju to add a third, making it 3-1.

Sejong refused to capitulate and pulled one back in the 70th minute through a penalty after a handball in the area. The home side pushed for an equaliser, but Gyeongju sealed the result in the 85th minute with a swift breakaway goal, restoring their two‑goal cushion. The final whistle confirmed a 4-2 win for Gyeongju Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power WFC.
