Ulsan lost 0-1 in the final Group F match against German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio on the 26th (Korea time). It was rather fortunate that Cho Hyun-woo, the goalkeeper of 'Number 1', escaped the crushing defeat and shed tears by one goal. Ulsan did not score a single shot in the first half. In the first half, the number of shots was 20-0, and the number of effective shots was 8-0, which was an overwhelming trend for Dortmund.
Ulsan, which lost 0-1 to South Africa's Mamelodi Sundaus in the first game, was dragged 0-1 in the second game against Brazil's prestigious Pluminensei and succeeded in turning the tables, but failed to withstand the last. I fell to my knees two to four. In the match against Dortmund, Um Won-sang was absent due to a left shoulder injury, and the attack also lost its luster.
Dortmund passed the group stage with the first place in Group F (7 points, 2 wins and 1 draw). Dortmund, which tied Fluminensee without scoring in the first game, defeated Mamelodi 4-3 in the second game. Fluminensee, who had a 0-0 draw with Mamelodi, reached the round of 16 with one win and two draws (five points) in the group. Mamelodi, with three points (1 win and 2 losses), finished third and was eliminated from the group stage along with Ulsan.

Ulsan made a brilliant attack when Rubik'sson crossed first when the whistle went off. That was the end of it. Dortmund immediately took the lead. Jov Bellingham, the younger brother of Seru Girasi and Jude Bellingham, was the center of the attack.
Girashi connected Daniel Svensson's cross with his first shot in the second minute of the first half. In the 13th minute of the first half, a left-footed shot cut through the air, and two minutes later, Julian Luersson's right-footed mid-range shot also took off the goal.
Kim Min-hyuk was warned in the 17th minute of the first half in the process of stopping Kareem Adeyemi. Cho Hyun-woo's good defense with animal sensations shone. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Girashi shot with his right foot after penetrating with Bellingham through a 2-1 pass, but was blocked by Cho Hyun-woo.
Girashi failed to break through Cho Hyun-woo in the 26th minute of the first half and in the extra time of the first half, even with a decisive opportunity that was no different from a goal. When the header shot was stopped in extra time, he lifted his arms and was stunned.

However, Cho Hyun-woo also had a moment when he couldn't help himself. Dortmund's winning goal came in the 36th minute of the first half. Lee Jae-ik's pass miss caused the crisis, and Kim Min-hyuk failed to cut off the ball properly due to a misjudgment. The ball was caught on Bellingham's toes. He opted for a pass instead of a shot, and Daniel Svensson scored the goal.
Coach Kim made a change at the start of the second half. Instead of Rakaba and Kim Min-hyuk, Ko Seung-beom and Park Min-seo were put in. Rubik's son advanced and stood in a two-top position, and Park Min-seo was located in his place.
Ulsan scored its first shot in the second half of the second half. Kang Sang-woo connected the ball pushed by Rubik'sson with a right foot shot. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac took out three replacement cards in the 13th minute of the second half. Bellingham, Adeyemi, and Nmecha were removed, and Buyer, Durangville, and Brandt were put in.
Ulsan played even more than in the first half. The shooting continued. Lee Jin-hyun in the 15th minute of the second half and Ko Seung-beom in the 19th minute of the second half connected with an effective shot, but they were blocked by the opposing goalkeeper.
Coach Kim dispatched Lee Chung-yong and Lee Hee-kyun in the 40th minute of the second half without Eric and Boyanich. Cho Hyun-woo's good defense continued in the second half. Jan Kotu's shot was also blocked in the 37th minute of the second half. Kotu also made a ridiculous expression. The number of saves was 10 in double digits.
In Ulsan, Heo Yul was put in as the last replacement card. But there was no `Miracle of Cincinnati.'
