[이데일리 스타in 임정우 기자] Ulsan Hyundai recorded a draw in the’East Coast Derby’ with Pohang Steelers.
Ulsan drew 1-1 in the Hana OneQ K League 1 20201 4th round away game against Pohang Steelers held at Pohang Steelyard on the 13th. Ulsan (10 points), which scored 10 points with 3 wins and 1 draw, has the same points as Jeonbuk Hyundai (3 wins, 1 draw, 7 points), but ranked first in terms of multiple points.
Pohang, the home team, led the atmosphere in the early game. Pohang took the lead of the attack, with the breakthrough of Palacios on the right and the brisk activity of newly recruited attacking midfielder Quvesic ahead of this season.
In the 9th minute of the first half, Quvesic opened the door with a mid-range shooting in a corner situation. This shot was misfired by Ulsan defender Bultus. In the 16th minute of the first half, Palacios seized the ball from Hongcheol from the deep right corner, and Quvesic finished with a right-footed shot from the right of the goal area.
Ulsan broke the winning goal. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Ulsan’s long penetration pass was intercepted by Pohang defender Jeon Min-gwang, who was attacking Ulsan Lee Dong-jun when he couldn’t remove it properly. Pohang goalkeeper Kang Hyun-moo blocked Lee Dong-jun’s shot, but Kim Min-joon pushed in and made 1-0.
In the second half, Ulsan made more scenes close to the goal with Lee Chung-yong’s mid-range shot. Pohang, who was pushed back, took out the tall striker Tash in the 7th minute of the second half, and Kvesić and Palacios were removed in the 18th minute of the second half.
Pohang rebalanced the game in the 28th minute of the second half. The corner kick raised by Kang Sang-woo from the left was finished with the head of Song Min-gyu, shaking the goal of Ulsan. It was Song Min-gyu’s second goal in the season, who won the Young Player Award last season.
Pohang, who raised momentum, swallowed up regret when Go Young-joon’s volley shot was blocked by Ulsan goalkeeper Jo Hyun-woo’s save in a free kick situation at the end of the game. The match ended 1-1 on this day, and Ulsan and Pohang shared 1 point each.
