Ulsan HD, which spurs for its third consecutive K-League 1 victory, only drew in the first and second place showdown with Gimcheon Sangmu.
Ulsan drew 0-0 with Gimcheon in the 34th round away match, the first round of Hana Bank’s K League 1 2024 Final A, at Gimcheon Stadium on the 19th.
The two teams shared one point each, and the gap between the first (62 points) Ulsan and the second place (57 points) Gimcheon remained at 5 points.
If Ulsan won on the day, it could have reached the “eighth ridge” of winning the league by widening the gap with Gimcheon to eight points with only four games left, but it failed to achieve its goal.
Gimcheon’s plan to win the first round of the final round and turn the competition into a mixed race by two points has also come to nothing.
However, ‘5 points’ will not be easy to reverse, but it is not a gap that cannot be reversed.
Ulsan was disappointed to lose the decisive scoring opportunity that came in the seventh minute of the first half due to the opponent’s goalkeeper Kim Dong-hyun’s mistake.
Kim Dong-hyun’s kick fell in front of Ulsan Rubik’s feet, and Rubik’s shot slightly missed to the right of the net.
Amid the battle of one step and one defeat, Gimcheon swallowed the disappointment in the 29th minute of the first half when Seo Min-woo’s shot hit the crossbar. 먹튀검증
In the 44th minute of the second half, Rubik’sson made up for the early shooting mistake with a decisive defense.
Just before Gimcheon Kim Kyung-joon’s header crossed the goal line, Rubik’sson flew over and cleared the ball with his right foot.
Both teams threatened the opponent’s dangerous area more persistently in the second half, but failed to score in the end because the strikers of both teams were not expected to be decisive.
