Jeju posted 12 corners to Hwaseong's 6, indicating sustained attacking pressure and a heavy reliance on width. Jeju also had 2 offsides to Hwaseong’s 1, suggesting more movement in behind the defense and a willingness to gamble with runs in behind.

The early two-goal cushion for Hwaseong forced Jeju to adopt a more proactive approach, with Jeju using set-pieces and wide play to threaten the defense as the game progressed. The high set-piece volume underlined Jeju's ability to generate goal-threat from dead-ball situations, which contributed to the eventual penalty success.

From a betting perspective, the tie demonstrates the value of monitoring corner activity as a proxy for attacking intensity, given Jeju’s 12 corners and late equalisers. The shootout victory also highlights the importance of composure under pressure when both sides reach the decisive stage.
