Ulsan Hyundai won three consecutive games or Incheon United’s first win of the season.
Ulsan and Incheon will have a showdown at the third round of Hana Bank’s K-League 1 2024 at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on Wednesday. Ulsan has been eying two consecutive wins this season. Starting with the Pohang Steelers (1-0 win), the team beat Gimcheon Sangmu (3-2 win) in the previous game.
On the 23rd, Jeonbuk Hyundai and the 2023-2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League quarter-final second leg also won 1-0 and are recording three consecutive wins in official matches. Since the beginning of the season, physical problems may appear due to a tight game schedule, but they are catching two rabbits by properly rotating the rotation.
In contrast, the situation is quite different in Incheon. The team has yet to announce its first win of the season. While key players including Shin Jin-ho, Kim Do-hyuk and Delbridge were out of the squad due to injury, the team lost to Suwon FC (0-1 loss) in the opening game by conceding a penalty kick at the end of the second half and conceding the final goal.
It only tied 0-0 in away games with FC Seoul. He hit 14 shots (six effective shots), but failed to open the goal for Seoul.
He has produced more than 20 shots in two games, but has no goals. Mugosa is leaning on his toes, as he has been deployed to the front line for two consecutive games. Incheon coach Cho Sung-hwan said, “I believe he will come up. I hope he can get his first goal of the season and first win in the third round.”
Incheon has a good memory for Ulsan. When it was struggling early last season, it has been on the rise since Mugosa joined in June. It also had three consecutive wins after the 2-1 victory in its second showdown of the season with Ulsan. At that time, Ulsan had five consecutive wins, but its six-game winning streak fell through as it was hamstrung by Incheon. 유흥알바
Incheon is also dominating the game with two wins, one draw and one loss in the last season. Among the 12 K-League 1 teams, the team garnered seven points against Ulsan, the “winning team,” to display strong performance. As the team has fond memories of the match, the team is committed to making its first win before the A-match break.
