The Team K-League consists of eleven players selected by fan votes, and nine wild cards chosen by the manager Jose Morais. Lee Dong-gook, Edel and Cesingya made up the forward, and midfielders were Kim Bo-kyung, Yoon Bit-garam, and Osmar. The defense was guarded by Hong Chul, Yun Young-sun, Valentinos, Lee Yong, and Cho Hyun-woo was a goalkeeper. Juventus played as one of its Asian tour schedules. Sarri, the manager of Juventus, set up Higuain and Mandzukic in the attack, and Pianic, Emre Can, Bernardeschi and Muratore were in charge of the midfield. Beruatto, de Ligt, Lugani, Cancello was defense and goalkeeper was Szczesny.

Osmar of the Team's K-League made the first goal with a counterattack in the seventh minute. A left-footed mid-range shot hit from a distance of 30 meters was inserted into the upper left corner of the net. Juventus also hit back immediately. Just a minute after the loss, Muratore broke the net with a right-footed shot that stooped into a corner inside the box. Cesingya's goal in the 44th minute made the Team K-League's lead. Cesingya, who cut the goal with a powerful right-footed shot inside the penalty box, showed Ronaldo's ceremony with Kim Bo-kyung and Edel.

Team K-League didn't stop the momentum and completed its third goal in the second half. Targgat fired a volley shot and shook the net. However, Juventus, which displayed its back strength, took the game to square one with a goal by Matuidi in the 32nd minute and Matteus Pereira three minutes later. And the match ended in a 3-3 draw.

It was a very tight game, thanks to Team K-League's good performance, but a lot of controversies has erupted. First of all, the schedule to arrive in Korea on the same day and play on the same day was disrupted, with the Juventus flight delayed for two hours due to the effects of the typhoon. Due to the Juventus squad's perception, the game scheduled for 8 o'clock could barely start at 8:50 p.m. Also, despite expectations from many spectators and fans, Ronaldo was not sent to the finish line. In the audience, there was a disappointed voice and even a voice cheering on Ronaldo's rival Messi.
