Yonsei University’s football team beat Korea University 2-0 on Saturday at Goyang Sports Complex, closing out this year’s Korea-Yonsei Games. Despite the win, Yonsei ultimately fell short, with Korea taking the series 3-2.

With the overall victory, Korea University now leads all-time with 21 wins, 20 losses and 11 draws.

Universities ready to face off for Korea-Yonsei games on Friday and Saturday

The Korea-Yonsei Games, also known as the Ko-Yon Jeon, were held Friday and Saturday, with the two rivals facing off across five sports: baseball, basketball, hockey, rugby and football. Korea University came out on top in baseball, basketball and rugby.

This year’s event was officially titled the Korea-Yonsei Games, as Yonsei University served as host. As a courtesy, the host school’s name comes last. Hosting alternates each year, with next year’s edition to be called the Yonsei-Korea Games.
