Jeonbuk 0-0 Suwon
The first chance is to Jeonbuk but Murilo Henrique's 20-yard drive is straight at the keeper. The first shot I've seen in a non-Belarusian game in two months.
Hmmm, I'm hearing some crowd noise. I think it must be getting piped into the stadium as we mentioned would happen at some games a few minutes ago.
Players aren't really meant to be shouting. But they are. Can you book a player for that?
Jeonbuk 0-0 Suwon
The game has kicked off.
We'll just go quiet for a couple of minutes as there will be a two-minute silence in the UK at 11:00 BST to honour servicemen and women during World War Two.
The Bluewings players give the home players a guard of honour as they come onto the pitch. Jeonbuk Motors are the champions.

48 Shades of Football: So just under ten mins to kick-off and i havent seen this mentioned anywhere yet but this is the de facto Korean charity shield. Jeonbuk won the league last year and Suwon just about overcame non-league opposition to win the FA Cup.
Here come the referees and the players. No masks on any of them.
If you spot any typos in this live text then there are mitigating cicumstances. Don't normally have small trains to worry about while covering the Premier League from the office.
Bonus points for those parents/toddlers/Thomas fans who can identify the engine in question...
Our feed has started now - top of this page or iPlayer. Nobody in the stands bar a few officials in a box wearing masks.

Suwon head coach Lee Lim-saeng was on the rollercoaster last season. The club were eighth in the table and a group of fans asked the club to fire him. But he finally won the FA Cup. which gives Suwon a ticket to the Asian Champions League.
There are A few changes on his coaching staff this season, including Kim Do-heon, who played for West Bromwich Albion.
Suwon is the city where Korean superstar Park Ji-sung grew up. There is a 'Park Ji-Sung WAY' in Suwon. It is 4.7km and six-lane.
Their key player is Australia international Adam Taggart, a former Dundee United and Fulham player. He was the K League's top scorer last season with 20 goals.

Jeonbuk’s motto is ‘DAK-GONG’ which means ‘keep calm and attack’. They are a very offensive team, always moving balls forward. That is how they won five of the past six K League titles.
Jose Morais is the first ever foreign head coach for Jeonbuk. He was on Jose Mouninho’s staff at Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea. After Jeonbuk won the league last season, Jose Mouninho sent a congratulations video message.
Former Cardiff and Wigan winger Kim Bo-kyung and former Middlesbrough striker Lee Dong-gook play for Jeonbuk. Lee is 41 now but still doing very well, mainly as a substitute.

All 1,142 K League players, coaches and club staff were tested for Covid-19 last week. All the tests were negative.
Players will use personal water bottles during the match. Each bottle has a label with their name on it.
All staff will wear masks on the bench. And all players will get temperature checks to enter the stadium.
This will not happen today but some K League clubs will use the stadium sound speaker to cheer on players. Recorded sound effects will be played during the match. Players can hear fans cheering if they score.
Right, it's time for an expert to tell you a little about the league and teams.
The game kicks off at 11:00 BST, with the TV coverage on in three minutes. Can't remember if I mentioned that. I'm pretty rusty.
I didn't have loads of time to research this game so was grateful for a colleague's boyfriend sending me a WhatsApp voice message that he once saw Fikayo Tomori score a 50-yard own goal at the Under-20 World Cup in this stadium.

Excited to watch some football? Do you know much about the K League?
Tweet us using #bbcfootball or text 81111. I'm pretty happy to have to load up that hashtag again on Tweetdeck to be honest with you.
This is the biggest football league in the world to restart since the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed about 270,000 people worldwide.
The German football league kicks off next weekend too. The Premier League is hoping to follow in June.
Of course football has still been continuing as all of us Belarusian Premier League die-hards can tell you.
The last live football live text we did was back on 12 March, Olympiakos v Wolves in the Europa League. Doesn't that feel like a lifetime ago?
