Gwangju defeated Ulsan 2-1 in the 8th round match of the Hana Bank K League 1 held at Gwangju Soccer Stadium on the 15th.

Gwangju (15 points), with its 5th win (7 losses) of the season, jumped from 9th to 6th.

The points are the same as 7th place FC Seoul (4 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses, 17 goals), but Gwangju (21 goals) took 6th place in terms of multiple goals.

On the other hand, Ulsan (7 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, 24 points), which could have risen to the lead by overtaking Pohang Steelers (7 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss, 25 points) even if it had been a draw, is looking forward to the next opportunity.

The 6-game undefeated streak (5 wins, 1 draw), which started with the Suwon FC match (3-0 win) on the 6th of last month, also came to a halt.

Ulsan, which had been on a 5-game winning streak, was unable to score a victory on this day following the previous match against Gimcheon Sangmu (2-2 draw), and the mood was somewhat subdued.

Gwangju took the lead and went on the offensive in the first 15 minutes of the game, with a 76% to 24% ball possession rate.

However, most of Ulsan's players crouched near the penalty box, aiming for a counterattack, and were unable to create significant scoring opportunities.

Then, at the start of the second half, Coach Lee removed veteran midfielder Choi Kyung-rok and brought in Park Tae-jun.

It was a ploy to use Jeong Ho-yeon, who played as a defensive midfielder, more aggressively than in the first half.

This winning move was successful and led to Gwangju’s first goal.

In the 13th minute of the second half, Park Tae-jun, who received a pass from Jeong Ho-yeon, kicked a surprise right-footed mid-range shot from the penalty arc.

The ball was deflected by Ataru, who was defending, and opened Ulsan's goal guarded by Jo Hyeon-woo.

Coach Lee brought in striker Lee Kun-hee in the 30th minute of the second half, sent midfielder Lee Kang-hyeon to the field, and placed Jeong Ho-yeon in a higher position.

Lee Kang-hyun repaid Coach Lee's faith by hitting the net with a picturesque mid-range shot just 6 minutes after being put in the game.

Taejun Park took the pass from the penalty arc with his right foot and hit the top corner of the goal accurately.

Ulsan, now in a hurry, raised their line and launched an all-out offensive, and in the end, winger Eom Won-sang scored a consolation goal just three minutes after conceding a goal.

Eom Won-sang, who dug into the side of the penalty box, caught an aerial ball that Gwangju center back Popovich could not clear properly and pushed it in with his right foot to score.

However, Ulsan failed to score an additional point as Gwangju played a tight defense at the last minute, with striker Gabriel also participating in the defense.
