Sangambeol was hot with a new face from Brazil before the whistle. Andersson took off his Suwon FC uniform and changed to FC Seoul uniform. Ulsan HD transfused a mythical horse from seven years ago.
But there was a separate main character. Jesse Lingard's wonder goal from the English Premier League heated up the ground. It was 41 minutes in the first half. Ulsan's 1m 91st-tall Trojac cleared Moon Sun-min's cross with a header. The ball caught Hwang Do-yoon's head. And the work was born. Lingard, who received Hwang Do-yoon's header pass, quickly connected with a right-footed shot after trapping. The ball, which left his feet, drew a fantastic parabolic line and crossed Cho Hyun-woo into the opposite net.
Seoul finally shook off the Ulsan jinx. There has been no win since October 2017. He has been mired in a swamp of winless games (8 draws and 15 losses) for 23 consecutive games. I escaped from the swamp after eight years. Seoul won 1-0 against Ulsan at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 20th with the winning goal of 'Cap Tip' Lingard in the 22nd round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025'. Seoul has won two consecutive games with no losses (3 wins and 2 draws) for five consecutive games. He scored 33 points and moved from 7th to 4th. Ulsan, on the other hand, failed to rebound again. He lost all three games at the FIFA Club World Cup, and failed to advance to the semifinals at the Korea Cup. In the K-League 1, he has no win (two draws and two losses) in four consecutive games. It remained at 30 points and fell from sixth to seventh.

Andersson started, and Malkon was substituted in the 32nd minute of the second half. It is his first K-League appearance in 2,444 days since November 10, 2018. Malkong scored 22 goals (three assists) at Gyeongnam FC in K League 2 in 2017, winning both the top scorer and MVP (best player award). Gyeongnam won the K League 2 with Malkong at the forefront and was promoted to the first division.

South Gyeongsang Province caused a great rebellion in the second place in the regular league in its first year of promotion. Malkong is the only player who won the MVP and the top scorer for two consecutive years in the K League's first and second divisions.
The two teams talked about Andersson and Malkong before the game. Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said "Andersson was quiet and worked hard on his own. There is also a sense of weight. In the interview, he said he doesn't care about the left and the right, but he said he was comfortable on the right, so he set it up there. " As for Malkong, "I've experienced it during Pohang, but it's a fraud." He is huge, flexible, and has good scoring ability. I don't know how he is, but he will be a threatening player.

However, Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said, "We need time for the horse." "There is a gap after playing at the end of April. I thought it would take a lot of time, so I brought him to run and build his body"You shouldn't think of the horse that was seven years ago. After the start of training, he lost weight, but his body matured. Still, I had an interview with him and he was very determined. Even during training, he comes out faster than others. I know the team is difficult."
Ulsan had a 'double high school' Ulsan fans declared a 「Boycott for Cheering」, and the away fans' seats 'Silent' on the day. Coach Kim Pan-gon said, `If the coach had done well, he wouldn't have come this far. There is a lack of supervision. We are encouraging the players not to sink in."
Ulsan opened with Rubik's left footed shot in the 26th minute of the first half. Two minutes later, Trojac had a decisive header opportunity but failed to score. In the 22nd minute of the second half, Kang Hyun-moo saved Lee Jin-hyun's decisive free kick.
