Three minutes went by like crazy. The number of shots taken in that time was 5-0. Fluminensee's unilateral trend continued. Kevin Serna connected with a right-footed shot after beating Kim Young-kwon in the 20th minute of the first half, but he split the air.
Bojanic caused anger in the 25th minute of the first half. He was cut off by Plominensi while attempting a heel pass with complacency, and Trojac fouled it in front of the penalty arc. Pluminensi's first goal was scored in the 27th minute of the first half. John Arias shook the net with a picturesque right foot free kick. Cho Hyun-woo couldn't use his hands.
Fluminensee's offensive had no commas. Cho Hyun-woo blocked Gabriel Fuentes' shot in the 29th minute of the first half. Cho Hyun-woo was the busiest.

On the 21st, a day before the game, Lee Jin-hyun said, `We didn't show a good performance in the first half. My condition has improved a lot since I came here. The more I train, the more I feel my left foot sensation is reviving. I think you can look forward to it." I kept the promise.
Ulsan has come to life. It wasn't the end. A come-from-behind goal came in the extra time of the first half. In the 48th minute of the second half, Um Won-sang scored Lee Jin-hyun's cross with a header. Um Won-sang and Lee Jin-hyun combined for two goals, one goal and one assist each.

In the 11th minute of the second half, he once again had a decisive opportunity. Boyanich's lobbing pass was delivered to Um Won-sang, who pierced the line. Um Won-sang had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper, but it was a shame to finish. While faltering just before shooting, the defender caught up. He tried to shoot his left foot late, but the ball missed the post.
