In the first set of the finals, Gyeongnam's Kwon Min-seok took a 1-0 lead in the 12nd minute after Rijkaard cleanly finished a cross from Cha Bum-kun. The match between the two players moved at a fast tempo from the first half, with both sides trading goals. After Kwon's opening goal, each player added another to end the first half at 2-1. In the second half, Yoo equalized to make it 2-2. In the 90th minute, Yoo secured a thrilling comeback victory in the first set with a surprise long-range shot from Bierhoff, winning 3-2.

The second set ended 0-0 with neither Kwon nor Yoo finding the net. With neither player able to capitalize on opportunities in the second half, the match went into extra time. Yoo, who kept up the offensive pressure, scored a crucial goal with Son Heung-min. Kwon managed to equalize in the second half of extra time, forcing a penalty shootout (PK). However, Kwon missed his attempts, allowing Yoo to win the second set and reach match point with a 2-0 lead.

The momentum had clearly shifted to Yoo. In the third set, Yoo took a 2-0 lead, effectively sealing the championship. Although Kwon managed to pull one back, Yoo ultimately won 2-1 to claim his second consecutive KEL FC Mobile title. The champion, Yoo, was awarded ₩10 million (Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award), while runner-up Kwon received ₩5 million (Korea Creative Content Agency President Award). The top two finishers also earned spots as the Korean representatives for the 'FC Mobile Mid-Season' tournament, the highest-level international competition held this year.
