“It was a very tough match. Both teams defended strongly and had very good chances in both halves,” said Skibbe. “In some situations, we were a little lucky not to concede, but we also created a lot of chances.
“We must remember that we were playing against the Korean champions, who are a very good team.Our players did very well today and I’m very happy with the result.”
Kobe moved onto six points in the League Stage, while Jeonbuk remained on three following their opening win over Kashiwa Reysol.
Jeonbuk head coach Ching Jung-yong thanked his players for their efforts but regretted being unable to reward the travelling supporters with a victory.
“Our fans travelled a long way to support us and as head coach, I’m very sorry we couldn’t give them the joy of a victory,” said Chung.
“I’m grateful to the players for giving their all. We cannot let this mood carry over, so we need to regroup and prepare well for our next league match.”
