Returning Cesinha (Daegu FC) saved the team from losing.

Daegu FC, led by head coach Kim Byung-soo, drew 2-2 in the 21st round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' away game against Ulsa HD at Munsu Football Stadium on the 12th. Cesinha scored multiple goals on the day to save his team from the brink. The lowest Daegu (14 points) narrowed the gap with the 11th-ranked Suwon FC (16 points). Ulsan (30 points) first beat FC Seoul (30 points, 23 goals) to rank sixth.

The match was originally scheduled to take place on June 29. However, the schedule has been changed to Ulsan's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.




Both teams were desperate for victory. Ulsan was eliminated from the Club World Cup after three consecutive group matches. In the quarterfinals of the Korea Cup against Gwangju FC on the 2nd, he lost his chance to win the championship by losing 0-1. Daegu urgently needed to escape from the bottom.

Daegu scored the first goal. Daegu blocked Ulsan's counterattack attempt in the 32nd minute of the first half. After Carlos-Kim Joo-gong, Cesinha opened the scoring with a right-footed volley. Cesinha has been sidelined for a while with a knee injury. He returned to the Korean Cup against Gangwon FC on the 2nd. He opened the scoring in the league three months after the match against Gwangju on April 9.

Ulsan did not back down. Lee Jin-hyun scored in the second half to balance it. Lee Jin-hyun hit the penalty arc from the right side and made a left-footed shot. The game went back to square one.




Ulsan, which was in the mood, succeeded in turning the tables in the 33rd minute of the second half. He induced his opponent's own goal in a set piece situation. The ball went in through Daegu center back Woo Joo-sung's head. Woo Joo-sung played for Gyeongnam FC in the K League 2 (second division) and changed his uniform with Lee Chan-dong through the summer transfer market. Woo played in the first game of the transfer, but he scored an own goal.

The game wasn't over until the end. Cesinha's toes shone once again. He completed a wonder goal in the 41st minute of the second half when his team was trailing 1-2. There were no additional goals on either team. The game ended with a score of two to two.
