(Seoul·Ulsan = Yonhap News) Reporter Bae Jinnam Choi Song-ah = In the home of the professional football Ulsan Hyundai Gaia, they beat FC Seoul, a top-ranking rival team, and won two consecutive victories, keeping second in the K-League 1.

Ulsan won the HanawonQ K League 1 2021 round 8 home game 3-2 against Seoul held at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on the 7th.

Ulsan, who continued to win two consecutive victories following the match against Seongnam FC on the 3rd, ran second place after Jeonbuk Hyundai (20 points) with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss (17 points) in the season.

3rd place Seoul (12 points) lost a straight victory after the 7th round (0-1) against Gangwon FC and missed the opportunity to raise the rankings.

Ulsan took the lead from the beginning, but Seoul was the first goal.

In the 13th minute of the first half, Kim Ki-hee cut the cross from the left side in the penalty area, but it was not handled properly, and Jeong Han-min’s right-footed turning shot in front of the penalty area shook the net.

Ulsan successfully counterattacked in the 28th minute of the first half.

After Barco broke through the left side of the penalty area with Hong Chul’s pass, Kim Min-jun pushed the connected ball with his left foot.

Immediately after scoring, Ulsan, who replaced Kim Min-joon with Dong-Jun Lee, raised 13 shots including 9 effective shots in the first half, but did not get ahead.

On the other hand, Seoul, which tied one of the four shots (two effective shots) with a score and ended the first half with a tie, blocked Ulsan’s continued offensive by operating replacement cards such as Na Sang-ho, Kim Jin-ya, and Ki Sung-yong.

In the second half of the 21st minute, Kim Ji-hyun, who complained of a muscle spasm, instead put in hinter control. In the 26th minute of the second half, Na Sang-ho’s right-footed shot from the left of the penalty arc went into the goal.

However, through video reading (VAR), an attacker foul of Cho Young-wook, who had previously taken the ball from Barco, was declared, and Seoul’s goal was not recognized.

Ulsan, who wiped out his chest, captured the victory in the second half of the 30th minute after Barco penetrated into the penalty area with a single dribble and scored a counter goal with a left footed shot.

Georgia national midfielder Barco, who joined Ulsan this season, became the first contributor to victory by recording a score following the first aid of the season.

In the 43rd minute of the second half, Lee Dong-jun’s fourth goal of the season broke and hit the wedge.

Seoul Palosevich’s back-up goal came in extra time in the second half, but it was too late to change the result.

Gwangju FC invited Suwon FC to the Gwangju soccer field and won 2-0 thanks to Felipe’s multi-goals.

Gwangju, who defeated Incheon United 2-1 in the 7th round and reaped their first victory in 10 games after 3 draws and 6 losses at the Gwangju Stadium, which opened on July 25 last year, won two consecutive victories.

Gwangju, who increased the points to 10 with 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, jumped to 6th in the rankings.

Suwon FC, the promoted team, reported their first victory in the season by winning 2-1 against Jeju United just before after 3 draws and 3 losses after the opening, but the atmosphere did not continue.

In the 33rd minute of the first half of Suwon FC, Yoon Young-sun opened the goal, but Lars was caught offside earlier and the goal was invalid.

Felipe, who shot several threatening heading shots in the first half, eventually broke the balance with his head as soon as the second half started.

In the first minute of the second half, Hayes kicked a corner kick from the left, and Felipe soared inside the goal area and headed into the goal.

The Suwon FC players protested that Felipe had committed a foul to defender Park Ji-soo in the process of fighting an aerial ball, but the referee decided that it was a normal fight through video reading (VAR).

In the 11th minute of the second half, Felipe drove the ball that Ju-Gong Kim connected at once from the rear to the left of the goal area and finished with his left foot and tilted the game further.

At the Jeju World Cup Stadium, Jeju and Gangwon FC drew 1-1.

Jeju took the lead with the first goal of Joo Min-gyu in the 8th minute of the second half, but Gangwon balanced it with the 3rd goal of the season by Kim Dae-won in the 17th minute of the second half.

They were equally divided by 1 victory point, but the atmosphere of the team is quite different recently.

Jeju, who lost to Suwon FC in the 7th round after 1 win, 5 draws and lost for the first time in the season, continued to draw in 5 games (4 draws and 1 loss).

On the other hand, Gangwon marched undefeated in 5 games (2 wins and 3 draws) after 3 consecutive losses at the opening.

Incheon United and Suwon Samsung won a 0-0 draw except for fuss.

In Incheon, in the 35th minute of the first half and the third minute of the second half, Kim Hyun shook the goal, but both were declared offside and were not recognized.

In the 17th minute of the second half of Suwon, Kang Hyun-mook, who reached the K-League stage last year, scored a goal, but Kim Tae-hwan, who gave the pass just before, was confirmed to have his debut goal.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Suwon ended up failing to score when Jeon Ki-hoon’s left footed shot from the left side of the penalty area hit the goal.
