[New Jersey (USA) = Sports Chosun Reporter Kim Sung-won] Um Won-sang (Ulsan) was 'the incarnation of speed' that also works on the world stage.

He scored one goal and one assist in the second Group F match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Brazilian powerhouse Fluminensee at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on the 22nd (Korea time).

Um Won-sang led Lee Jin-hyun's equalizer in the 37th minute of the first half when Ulsan was trailing 0-1. It was the first celebration of this tournament made by Um Won-sang's speed. He crossed after penetrating Fluminensee at speed. The ball went through the goalkeeper. Lee Jin-hyun was caught on the toes of the rushing people. Lee Jin-hyun scored with a quick left-footed shot.




Um Won-sang was also responsible for the upset goal in the 48th minute, the extra time of the first half. Lee Jin-hyun's cross was answered with a header and the goal was cut. However, Ulsan lost again in the second half, allowing three goals to Pluminensee.

Um Won-sang was also disappointed. He had another decisive opportunity in the 11th minute of the second half. 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.

Um Won-sang's speed seemed to shine again in the 25th minute of the second half. However, Um Won-sang collapsed when he collided with the opposing goalkeeper. The referee judged that the goalkeeper caught the ball first, and the VAR review did not declare a penalty.

In the process of falling, his left shoulder strongly collided with the floor, and Um Won-sang failed to return to the ground in the end. Lacava took over in the 29th minute of the second half.

Um Won-sang appeared in the mixed zone with a brace on his arm. He "I have to get tested, but I think there's something wrong with my shoulder. That's what happened when I fell with the goalkeeper. When I always fall, I tend to fall wrong. I lost my shoulder once before, and after that, I had another problem."

Um Won-sang can't laugh even with one goal and one assist. He said "I don't know. First of all, it's very positive to come out in a big competition and make an offensive point. Personally, I've always prepared to win as a team, not to make an offensive point. The result of the game is a bit disappointing."




As for the missed second half chance "I'm sorry. To our team members and older members. To everyone involved. I feel most sorry. Once I put it in, there is a possibility that the game has changed. I could have gone to the difficult game a little more comfortably, but I'm sorry. That's the biggest heart."

And "It was a team we'd never played against. First of all, within the K-League, we played a game that we caught and led. Here, we gave the lead and played all the time. I've always prepared that part, but a few scenes came out well. There is absolutely no problem with training. We still have one game left, so we'll prepare well," he stressed.

Um Won-sang said of Pluminensee "He was good as well. They are very good players and they are a good team, so all members have excellent personal skills. I'm a striker too, but I defended a lot. From that point of view, it was difficult for the opposing central defenders to kick the ball so well. But I learned a lot."

Ulsan, which lost all two games, was confirmed to be eliminated regardless of the results of the remaining Borussia Dortmund games. Um Won-sang "We didn't achieve the goal we brought. The rest of the game is important. I don't think about the previous game and I think every player will try to win, not just me. I'll prepare that way, too. I'll make sure to bring good results," he added.
