Ulsan HD won 1-0 in the early 19th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" against FC Anyang at Anyang Stadium on the 23rd. With this victory, Ulsan (17 points) rebounded the atmosphere that had been shaken by the defeat against Gangwon, and jumped to second place in the ranking.
Ulsan, which finished 0-0 in the first half, scored the first goal early in the second half and gained momentum. In the fourth minute of the second half, Ko Seung-beom, who received Kim Young-kwon's pass, was fouled by Lee Young-jik during the breakthrough and won a penalty kick. Ko Seung-beom's skill in penetrating the opponent's defense stood out. As a kicker, Eric completely deceived the shooting direction and shook the net. After the first goal, Anyang attempted to equalize with Mota, Matheus, Chae Yeon-woo and Choi Sung-beom at the center, but Ulsan's defense remained unshakable and kept the victory.
Coach Kim Pan-gon met with reporters after the game and said, `I'm grateful to be able to bring joy to the fans. It's good that the team can bounce back from a difficult situation. I'll do my best in the next game, too", he expressed his feelings.
Coach Kim showed his willingness to solve the game by scoring early in the day, but the score did not easily break out until just before the first goal in the second half. As for the part where scoring was difficult at the beginning of the game, there was a lot of struggle in the early part. Anyang was guarding the defensive area. It was difficult to solve it because it didn't come forward until the run was lost. I'll try to improve that part further" he explained.
Ulsan won the match with the winning goal of the penalty kick. Scores in two consecutive games were scored on penalties. As for the absence of field goals "There were chances in the first half, and there were chances in the second half as well. It's about to burst."
As for prospect Kang Min-woo's starting performance, he was injured after showing good performance in winter. I've been feeling well lately. I put them in, but they did as well as I expected. I think I'll do better."
Ulsan won by catching Anyang, but maintaining its performance is key. He has been shaken by two wins, two draws and three losses in the last seven games, so he should maintain his momentum with this victory. As for the recent ups and downs in his performance, coach Kim said, `I can't do it my way. Continue to lead the game, and opportunities come out, but no. It has to burst once. I will continue to develop with a good image today. I think it's a homework that we have to solve because the teams we play against are fairly solid in defense.
