Compared to the last match against Suwon FC, the seats of the six starters have changed. In addition to Lee Myung-joo, who was injured due to injury, Shin Jin-ho and Delbridge were also excluded from the entry.
Ulsan also started some rotations considering the stamina of the main players. Martin Adam, who was out of line due to an injury, started as a starter, and Bakko, Ataru, and Kang Yun-goo took up the second line. Lee Kyu-sung and Boyanich teamed up in midfield, while Lee Myeong-jae, Kim Young-kwon, Kim Ki-hee, and Seol Young-woo defended, and Cho Hyun-woo defended the goal.

From the beginning of the game스포츠토토, Ulsan took the lead. Bako and Boyanich threatened Incheon’s goal with successive shots. In the 9th minute of the first half, I broke the balance first. Kang Yun-gu’s cross from the right flank was headed by Martin Adam. Martin Adam’s first goal of the season.
Even though Incheon was hit first, it was seldom able to ignite the embers of a reversal. Players lost their concentration due to inaccurate passes, and ownership of the ball was taken away one after another. The attacking work itself for the equalizer was not done properly.
Rather, Ulsan aimed for an additional goal through a quick counterattack. In the 28th minute of the first half, Seol Young-woo, who received a penetrating pass from Boyanich, dug into the right side of the penalty box and even connected a shot. However, Seongjun Min overcame the risk of conceding an additional goal with a save.
Incheon’s first shot of the day came only in the 39th minute of the first half. Chun Seong-hoon, who was rushing to the goal with a cross from the left side, slightly changed direction. The shot, however, was cleared by the Ulsan defense. Not to be outdone, Ulsan also aimed for Incheon’s goal with Boyanich’s powerful shot, but it missed the goal slightly.
As the game ended in a frenzy throughout the first half, coach Cho Seong-hwan removed Cheon Seong-hun and Kim Do-hyuk and put in Gerso and Hernandez. Director Hong Myung-bo did not back down either. Instead of Ataru and Kang Yun-goo, Lee Chung-yong and Eom Won-sang were put in to counter fire.
Incheon tried to turn around with a replacement card, but could not create a chance to attack. Jerso and Hernandez tried to find a way to attack on both sides, but Ulsan’s defense concentration was not easily disturbed. In the 18th minute of the second half, Oh Ban-seok’s header from a free kick scored the second shot, but Cho Hyun-woo saved it.
Ulsan, who had a lead by one goal, played the game leisurely and aimed for a key goal through a counterattack. In the 19th minute of the second half, Um Won-sang dug into the space behind the defense with explosive speed and even aimed for a direct shot, but was hit by the side net. Incheon also raised its momentum, but it did not lead to shooting. In the 36th minute of the second half, Hernandez’s free kick from the front of the penalty box hit the defensive wall and missed the goal.
As the match progressed towards the end, Ulsan, who tried to put a wedge in the game, and Incheon, who tried to balance the game, continued fierce battles.

In the end, the match ended with the away team Ulsan winning 1-0.
