Ulsan will play against seventh-ranked Gwangju at 7 p.m. on the 25th at the Gwangju Football Stadium in the 28th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024'.
Ulsan, which has played 27 games, is in third place with 13 wins, 6 draws, 8 losses and 45 points. Victory is absolutely necessary to chase the leading Gangwon FC (50 points) and the second-place Gimcheon Sangmu (46 points).
Ulsan won 1-0 in the first leg of the Korea Cup semifinals against Gwangju on the 21st. He succeeded in gaining the upper hand by winning the first of the three consecutive games against Gwangju. In addition, he succeeded in escaping his last four consecutive games (based on league standards) against Gwangju.
Brazilian striker Yago finally scored his Ulsan debut goal. He shook Gwangju's net in six games after moving to Ulsan. In the 10th minute of the second half, he calmly scored with a left-footed shot after receiving Jung Woo-young's pass from the opponent's arc. It was a shot that shook off the hardships of his heart.
Now Yago is trying to score back-to-back goals in the league. As the flagship striker Joo Min-kyu cannot play in the match against Gwangju in the aftermath of his exit from the last game, Yago should be in charge of the front line again. It is expected to overcome the league's attack points, which were stopped in the ninth move, as active physical fights, connections with teammates, and scoring ability are also reviving in the opposing camp.
Cho Hyun-woo, Ulsan's strong guardian, is also in good shape. Jung Ji-hoon's shot was blocked within a minute of the start in the semifinals of the Korea Cup against Gwangju, and he has made several good saves since then. In the 34th minute of the second half with a 1-0 lead, Lee Kang-hyun hit a decisive shot to support the scoreless victory.
Cho Hyun-woo is giving Ulsan a valuable victory this season with a 's good defense, which is no less than a score' despite various bad news from the defense. He has 31 runs and eight clean sheets in all league games (27). Kim Joon-hong (12 goals and 9 clean sheets in 17 games in Gimcheon, 6 goals and 1 clean sheet in 4 games in Jeonbuk), who is in Jeonbuk Hyundai after being discharged from the military, is ranked second in the clean sheet. Attention is focusing on how amazing Cho Hyun-woo will make a clean sheet in the match against Gwangju.
Ulsan has been gradually coloring since Kim Pan-gon took office. Coach Kim said, `I think we successfully played the dominating and controlling football against Gwangju, a good team. We lost four times and won once. He solved it as well as he prepared, causing defensive mistakes"We still need technical detail, and we need to take advantage of the opportunity to become a stronger team." You need more time to get used to it and come out naturally. But it's going well" he evaluated.
Regarding Yago, who reported his debut goal, he also encouraged "I've been under a lot of stress, but it will be a good turning point."
