Ulsan HD, busy to go. When head coach Shin Tae-yong left, it became a different team. It was a match between Korea and Japan with K-League, J-League, and pride at stake.
Ulsan, which fell to Final B (7th-12th) in K League 1, had no choice. The second team was put forward to remain in the first division and survive. Cho Hyun-woo, a member of the national team 'Questionnaire', was completely excluded from the entry. 'Captain' Kim Young-kwon, Jung Seung-hyun, Eric, and Rubik'sson waited on the bench. Acting head coach Roh Sang-rae, who took the temporary helm after Shin's dismissal, took out an unconventional card. In preparation for the first game of this weekend's final round, the team launched an unconventional 'Full Rotation'. All of the best 11 players have changed compared to the match against Gwangju FC in the K League 1 on the 18th, when they broke the chain of seven consecutive wins (three draws and four losses) in the K League 1. Heo Yul, Rakaba, Kim Min-hyuk, and Trojac were appointed. Moon Jung-in defended the goal.
Ulsan sank Sanfrecce Hiroshima (Japan), which featured the best members. He rose to the top of the Asian Champions League (ACLE) league stage. Ulsan won 1-0 with Kim Min-hyuk's winning goal in the third round of the ACLE League Stage in the 2025-2026 season at Munsu Football Stadium on the 21st.
She continued her unbeaten run on the Asian stage. Ulsan defeated Chengdu Longcheng (China) 2-1 in the first game and tied Shanghai Shenhua (China) 1-1 in the second game. Ulsan, which scored seven points (2 wins and 1 draw), rose to the top spot. In the league stage, which is held separately from East and West Asia, tickets to the round of 16 will be returned to 8th place out of 12 teams. Vissel Kobe (6 points), the Japanese champion with two wins, will play away against Gangwon FC on the 22nd. Seoul, which has one win and one draw, will clash with Shanghai Shenhua on the same day. Hiroshima suffered its first loss after one win and one draw.

Ulsan is suffering from a backlash. After stepping down after 65 days, coach Shin is throwing stones through various routes. Ulsan's squad is silent. However, after Lee Chung-yong scored a decisive goal with a penalty kick in the match against Gwangju, he staged an unspoken protest with a 'Golf Ceremony'. Although the wavelength was large, the inside of the team became stronger. Ulsan beat Gwangju 2-0 in its first game after coach Shin put down the baton.
Acting President Roh seems to be able to " before the game. It cannot be said that one or two players overcome it. All the players are ready as part of the team. The first goal is to stay in the K League 1, but we will all play well together." However, there were concerns about major changes. It was rain. There was no boundary between the main and non-mainstream games. He collided head-on with Hiroshima with pressure and determination, and a thrilling battle continued.
Ulsan's goal was scored in the 12th minute of the first half. Kim Min-hyuk, who wore a captain's armband on Lee Jin-hyun's cross, penetrated the back space of the Sasaki show exquisitely and then scored with a header. He stood on the ground 58 days after the match against Seoul on Aug. 24. Masugol scored his first ACLE goal this season along with a goal. In the 21st minute of the first half, Heo Yul responded to Cho Hyun-taek's cross with a header. But the ball moved slightly off the post.

Kim Joo-sung, who moved to the J-League from Seoul this summer, worked hard for Hirosama. He scored with a header from a set piece in the 9th and 22nd minutes of the first half. In the 34th minute of the first half, Sota Nakamura's shot hit the crossbar. Lee Chung-yong was substituted along with Um Won-sang and Park Min-seo in the 29th minute of the second half. Malkon is also back from injury. He stepped on the ground in the 41st minute of the second half. Lee Chung-yong also joined the defense and defended well.
Hiroshima launched a wave of attacks in the second half, but failed to open the goal due to Ulsan's hand-to-hand defense. Moon Jung-in also stood out. Ulsan won its first official games in 160 days following the match against SK (2-1 wins) in Jeju and the match against Incheon United (3-0 wins) on May 11 and 14.
