Ulsan HD will try to win for the first time in Daejeon Hana Citizen's away game.
Ulsan will play Daejeon and Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 second round away at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 23rd.
At 2 p.m. on the 16th, Ulsan unfortunately lost the home opener against FC Anyang, which was held in the Tiger Cave, 0-1. Then, the eighth game of the 2024/2025 Asian Football Confederation Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage was scheduled for 7 p.m. on the 19th, but it was canceled in a two-hour turnaround of kickoff on the day of the game.
Ulsan confirmed its official position that "in accordance with the ACLE regulations (Article 2, Paragraph 5) AFC confirmed its intention not to play in the league stage (East) match against Ulsan, and later announced that Shandong will step down from the AFC Champions League elite."
Ulsan failed to advance to the round of 16 at the ACLE on the day, but it planned to refine its teamwork by boosting its players' physical condition and confidence. However, as the game was unexpectedly canceled, the team had time to recharge.
Ulsan, which wrapped up its final match in Asia, will be able to focus only on the K League 1 for the time being. One of the reasons why this game is interesting is that it meets the enemy of the striker, Joo Min-gyu, who was involved in Ulsan until last season. Joo Min-gyu was responsible for the front line by wearing Ulsan uniforms for a total of three seasons (2019, 2023, 2024). In particular, he helped Ulsan defend its throne with a total of 27 goals and 6 assists in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He quickly adapted to the match by scoring multiple goals in the opening match against the Pohang Steelers on the 15th.
There is no mercy. The old administration made full preparations for Ulsan, which has been put aside for a while, to quell the sensation in Daejeon, including Ju Min-gyu. Ulsan has made significant changes from the squad that had been in operation since it topped the league for the last three consecutive seasons. Among the 11 starting lineup against Anyang, all were new players except Lee Chung-yong, Kim Young-kwon and Kim Min-hyuk. The opening of the league was two weeks earlier than usual, so there was less time to work together. Nevertheless, veterans of each position took the lead and young players' mobility and speed added to show to some extent the style of soccer that Ulsan will pursue in the future. 메이저사이트
