Ulsan took three points in five games. Ulsan won 1-0 with Kang Sang-woo's winning goal in the eighth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Daegu FC at iM Bank PARK on the 13th. Ulsan, which had no wins (two draws and two losses) in four consecutive games, rose to third place with 14 points (4 wins, two draws and four losses).
Daegu, on the other hand, has been mired in a six-game losing streak. Daegu got off to a good start this season with two consecutive wins, but remained at six points (2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses). Joy and sorrow were mixed in the decision-making battle.
Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun brought up the 3-5-2 system. Edgar and a politician were responsible for the attack on the front line. Cesinha, the 'hack of attack', was removed from the entry due to an adductor injury. In the midfield, Kim Jung-hyun, Yosimo, Jung Woo-jae, and Hwang Jae-won lined up with Ramas at the peak. Park Jin-young, Kim Jin-hyuk and Kaio were in charge of the three-back, and Han Tae-hee wore goalkeeper gloves. Oh Seung-hoon also injured his pinky and Han Tae-hee made his K-League debut.

The first half was a false battle. Heo Yul opened Rakaba's penetration pass with his right foot in the 6th minute of the first half, but offside was declared. Four minutes later, Yago hit a left-footed shot by Hoshim, but Han Tae-hee defended it by punching.
Daegu threatened Ulsan's goal in the 14th minute with a sharp free kick in the middle of the midfield, but the ball went off the post. Ulsan soon responded. In the 19th minute of the first half, Heo Yul answered Park Min-seo's through pass with his left foot, but he was caught by Daegu's defense. Lee Jin-hyun hit a left-footed shot on the ensuing corner kick, but it was caught in defense again.
Yago scored a series of shots in the 33rd and 36th minutes of the first half, but it was far from the goal. Daegu had a decisive opportunity in the 37th minute of the first half. Ramas connected with a sensational left-footed shot when the ball shot by the politician's left foot came out in defense. But the ball that left his foot hit the crossbar. In the end, neither Daegu nor Ulsan opened the goal in the first half.

Daegu put in Kim Jung-hyun in the 14th minute of the second half and Han Jong-moo, Baek Dae-hoon, and Kim Min-joon, excluding Edgar and politicians in the 19th minute. Immediately, the power appeared. Park Tae-hoon broke down the defense line at high speed and passed to Kim Min-joon. However, before Kim Min-joon shot, Ulsan's defense cleared the ball first, and coach Park on the bench stamped his foot.
Opportunities after the crisis were unwritten. Ulsan finally scored the first goal. Kang Sang-woo, who received Lee Chung-yong's pass in the 21st minute of the second half, solved it. His right footed shot was deflected by Daegu's defense and sucked into the goal. It was Kang Sang-woo's first goal, which was nestled in Ulsan this season.
Daegu's counterattack also sparked fire. Ramas hit a left-footed shot by Hoshim in the 24th minute of the second half, but Choi Seok-hyun cleared it with his head. In the 35th minute of the second half, Ramas' left foot shot was saved by Cho Hyun-woo. Ulsan operated Rubik's Son and Jung Woo-young's cards in the 28th and 34th minutes of the second half. Daegu threw the final game in the 42nd minute of the second half, putting in Park Jae-hyun and Lee Chan-dong. Ulsan strengthened its defense by fielding Kang Min-woo.
There was no reversal of Daegu. Ulsan has won three consecutive games against Daegu. He also had an unbeaten record (10 wins and 2 draws) in 12 consecutive games against Daegu.
