Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan), who missed three consecutive games since the opening of the K League 1 due to a broken nose, has returned. He fractured his nose in Game 7 of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage against Thailand's Buriram United on the 12th of last month.
Ulsan HD, which is trying to win its fourth consecutive K League 1 title, has been properly blown away with three consecutive wins. Ulsan won 2-0 against Jeju SK at Munsu Football Stadium on the 9th with Heo Yul's multi-goal in the fourth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025'.
Ulsan lost 0-1 in the home opener against FC Anyang on the 16th of last month, but has since cooked Daejeon and Jeonbuk 2-0 and 1-0, respectively. He beat Jeju's strong challenges and recorded nine points (3-1). The points are the same as those of the leading Daejeon Hana Citizen, but they fell behind in multiple points. It was placed in second place.
On the other hand, Jeju, with one win, one draw and one loss, failed to overcome Ulsan's wall. He beat FC Seoul 2-0 in the first round to signal a sensation, but he has been winless in the last three consecutive games. He only had four points (1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses).

Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon brought up the 4-4-2 system. Yoon Jae-seok, Lee Jin-hyun and Boyanichi Um Won-sang, who had Heo Yul and Rakaba in the two-top, were located in the second line. Kang Sang-woo and Kim Young-kwon's signature officer Yoon Jong-kyu lined up at the four-back, and Cho Hyun-woo defended the goal.
Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom countered with a 4-3-3 system. Yoo In-su's Dongjin Park Kim Joon-ha stood in the three-top, and Kim Gun-woong and Nam Tae-hee's Lee Hae-ro stood in the midfield. Kim Ryun-sung, Song Joo-hoon, Jang Min-gyu, and Kim Tae-hwan were in charge of the four-back, and the goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Ahn Chan-gi.
Jeju drove hard when the kickoff whistle went off. However, in the second minute of the first half, Dongjin Park's shot went off the beat, and Taliro's mid-range shot also went off the post. Ulsan rearranged its line with Yoon Jong-kyu's shot in the 9th minute of the first half.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Bojanic's surprise free-kick lobbing pass destroyed the Jeju defense line. Um Won-sang saw the goalkeeper come out and passed the height with his right foot, but the ball turned away from the goal.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Um Won-sang's cutback was connected by Kang Sang-woo's right footed shot, but the ball moved away from the post as it did not fit properly. Ulsan had a decisive opportunity in the 24th minute of the first half. Eom Won-sang responded to Boyanich's corner with a right-footed shot, but was blocked by Ahn Chan-ki, the goalkeeper. Rakaba connected the ball he took with a shot again, but he came out again after hitting the crossbar, and Yoon Jae-seok's header was also caught in Ahn Chan-ki's hand.

The long-awaited goal came in the 32nd minute of the first half. Heo Yul scored the goal with a header from Lee Jin-hyun's corner kick. There was also a heart-wrenching moment. In the 36th minute of the first half, Lee Jin-hyun hit his shin with the sole of his foot in the process of stopping Kim Ryun-sung's counterattack. After taking out the yellow card, the referee went through an on-field review (VAR) to confirm the exit. Fortunately, there was no red card in Ulsan.
Clutter ensued. In the 39th minute of the first half, Jeju Kim Tae-hwan's right foot shot went off the post, and in the 42nd minute of the first half, Lacava was warned while colliding with Anchana. The extra time in the first half was five minutes.
Ulsan had another chance in the 47th minute of the first half, but Heo Yul's shot was blocked by the defense. The next Um Won-sang was 'No Mark'. I felt sorry for the selfless play. Jeju tried to tie the game a minute later with Kim Jun-ha's right footed shot, but failed to open the door.

At the start of the second half, Ulsan put Rubik's Son and Kim Min-hyuk instead of Lee Jin-hyun and Yoon Jae-seok. The rough workshop continued in the second half. In the third minute of the second half, Kim Jun-ha's left foot shot was blocked by Cho Hyun-woo's good defense.
Jeju threw a game in the 16th minute of the second half with three replacement cards. Lee Kun-hee, Seo Jin-soo, and Oh Jae-hyuk were put in place of Kim Jun-ha due to the departure of the Dongjin Park. In the 24th minute of the second half, Choi Byung-wook was played without Yoo In-su.
But the dream of counterattack broke again a minute later. Ulsan's second goal was scored in the 25th minute of the second half. Um Won-sang, who received the Lacava?l pass, crossed a ground ball, and Heo Yul slid and shook the net with his right foot once again. After moving to Ulsan, he scored his third goal and entered the race for the top scorer. He has one goal difference with Joo Min-kyu (four goals), who moved to Daejeon after leaving Ulsan.
Ulsan's offensive continued. Bojanic connected a pass to Rubik'sson in the 40th minute of the second half. But Rubikshon's shot went off the post.
