Um Won-sang will miss the final Group F match against Borussia Dortmund (Germany) at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio at 4 a.m. on the 26th (Korea time). On the 22nd, he injured his left shoulder in the second Group F match against Brazilian powerhouse Fluminensee. As a result of the examination, he was diagnosed with a need for several weeks of stability.
Ulsan went to the 'unexpected threshold' against Fluminensee. Um Won-sang was at the center of it. He 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.
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 2-4 to Pluminensee in the second half, allowing three goals.
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.

In the process of falling, his left shoulder hit the floor strongly, and Um Won-sang failed to return to the ground in the end. He appeared in the mixed zone with arm guards after the Fluminense.
And "I have to get tested, but I think I have a problem 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 blamed himself for one goal and one assist. He said "It's very positive that I came out to the big tournament and made 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."
I am also sorry for missing a critical opportunity. 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."
Ulsan, which lost all two games, failed to advance to the round of 16 regardless of the outcome of the Dortmund game. Um Won-sang said against Dortmund, `I will bring good results for sure"I promised, but I couldn't get on the ground.
