Ulsan will play the 11th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" against Gwangju at 7:30 p.m. on the 2nd at Munsu Football Stadium. Ulsan has played the most 12 games by participating in the FIFA Club World Cup next month, but it remains in fourth place with 17 points (5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses).
Ulsan recently recorded one win and one loss in two consecutive away games with FC Anyang (1-0 win) and Gimcheon Sangmu (0-2 loss). It is the first home game in 13 days since the match against Gangwon FC (1-2 loss) on the 19th of last month.
Ulsan dominated the Gimcheon expedition on the 27th with a 66-34 possession rate and faced off equally with a total number of 14-16 effective shots 5-6. However, Rakaba's decisive shot hit the post and was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper's decisive defense, and unfortunately lost.
Ulsan, which has changed its mind, focused on recovery quickly after the Gimcheon match, and had time to analyze and talk through the game review. Leading the captain, Kim Young-kwon, the captain Ko Seung-beom and Cho Hyun-woo led the juniors, raising the atmosphere that could be somewhat sagging.
The key to this game is to recover the offense that has cooled down for a while. Currently, Eric (three goals in seven games) and Heo Yul (three goals in 11 games) are both scoring the most goals in the team. Eric shook the net of Gangwon and Anyang in turn, but consecutive goals failed in the match against Gimcheon. However, he is in his personal condition and is working well with his colleagues.
What should be noted is the performance of the three musketeers from Gwangju. Heo Yul and Lee Hee-kyun, who worked in Gwangju until last season, will change their uniforms and meet their parents for the first time. It is also his first meeting with Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo. Ahead of the 2022 season, three people from Kumho High School, including Um Won-sang, who left Gwangju for Ulsan, are preparing to put aside old politics for a while and pull a bow demonstration.
In addition, veteran Lee Chung-yong showed his unique sense of soccer by traveling throughout the opponent's camp in the match against Gimcheon, and showed his presence by attempting an exquisite heel pass in the Rakaba shooting scene that hit the post. Cho Hyun-woo, the goalkeeper, gave up two runs, but defended the goal with four decisive saves.
Ulsan is leading Gwangju with 17 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. They were inferior to each other with one win and two losses in three K League 1 matches last season, but they beat Gwangju in the semifinals of the Korea Cup to advance to the final.
Ulsan's goal is to continue its momentum until the Pohang Steelers and East Coast Derby (5th) after successfully turning the tables at home.
