A great reversal occurred. Suwon Samsung, the lowest ranked player, created a surprise that caught the leader Ulsan Hyundai.
In the 2023 Hana One Q K League 1 round 23 Ulsan home game held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 15th, Suwon won 3-1 with Jeon Jin-woo’s header winning goal in the 39th minute of the first half, Mulrich in the 28th minute of the second half, and Kim Joo-chan’s consecutive goals in the second half of extra time. .
With this, Suwon recorded 3 wins, 안전놀이터추천 6 draws and 14 losses, with 15 points. Although they have not yet been able to get out of the bottom, they have narrowed the gap with other teams and prepared a stepping stone to escape from the bottom. It was a really long slump. Suwon added a victory two months after the victory against Gangwon FC on May 13th. The sluggishness of 9 matches (4 draws and 5 losses) was also cut off. It was the first home win in 12 games this year, so I was thrilled.
On the other hand, leader Ulsan suffered a shocking two-game losing streak. After losing 1-2 in the home game against Incheon United in the 22nd round immediately before, they were hit by Suwon, the lowest team. Ulsan has a record of 17 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. There is quite a gap with other teams, but a reversal of the atmosphere is necessary.
The home team, Suwon, used a 3-4-3 formation. Jeon Jin-woo, Myung Jun-jae, and Kim Joo-chan took on the three-top position, while Lee Sang-min, Yu Je-ho, Kazuki, and Jeong Seung-won took on the sides and waist. The three backs were Park Dae-won, Kim Joo-won, and Han Ho-gang. Yang Hyung-mo guarded the goal.
Ulsan faced off with a 4-5-1 formation. Joo Min-gyu, Jo Hyeon-taek, Hwang Jae-hwan, and Rubikson supported the attack in the second line. Lee Kyu-sung and Kim Min-hyuk coordinated the midfield. The back four was Lee Myung-jae, Kim Ki-hee, Jung Seung-hyun, Kim Tae-hwan, and the goalkeeper was Cho Hyun-woo.
Suwon was active from the beginning. The game started with Jeon Jin-woo’s bold mid-range shooting. Ulsan immediately launched a counterattack. In the 5th minute of the first half, Lee Gyu-seong hit a mid-range shot, which was caught by goalkeeper Yang Hyeong-mo and hit the crossbar. It was a super save by my brother-in-law.
Suwon, who overcame the crisis well, continued the storm attack. In the 15th minute of the first half, side striker Kim Joo-chan showed off a destructive dribble from the half-line to near the penalty box. Then, Myung Jun-jae, who received a pass from Kim Joo-chan, attempted a turning shot, but it slightly missed his left post.
In the end, Suwon scored the first goal. It was a scoring opportunity created by Jeong Seung-won’s fighting spirit. In the 39th minute of the first half, Jeong Seung-won followed the ball all the way to the end and blew his body to cross. Cho Hyeon-woo hurriedly reached out and touched the ball, but he couldn’t get far. Jeon Jin-woo, who was in front of the goal, pushed this into his head.
Ulsan is in crisis. At the start of the second half, Jo Hyun-taek and Kim Tae-hwan were removed, and Bakko and Seol Young-woo were put in. The plan was to aim for an equalizer by being more aggressive than in the first half. In the 7th minute of the second half, Joo Min-gyu attempted a turning shot, but it went straight to the goalkeeper.
Ulsan was the picture that led the atmosphere in the second half, but Suwon did not back down easily either. In the 13th minute of the second half, Ko Myung-seok, Kim Myung-joong, and Ko Seung-beom put in three players at once to win the game. In the 21st minute of the second half, tall striker Mulich stepped on the ground as a substitute. Ulsan also replaced Rubinson with Martin Adam and converted it to a two-top form.
Suwon scored an extra goal. In the 28th minute of the second half, after gaining the right to attack through strong pressure from the opposing camp, Mulich put in a powerful mid-range shot. Jo Hyun-woo stretched out his hand, but to no avail. Ulsan players bowed their heads. On the other hand, the atmosphere of Suwon was more alive.
Even after that, Suwon waved both sides and threatened Ulsan. In the 38th minute of the second half, Mulich’s counterattack shot nearly scored Suwon’s third goal, but Jo Hyun-woo managed to block it. However, Suwon’s Kim Joo-chan scored a key goal in extra time in the second half. It was an accurate finish following a stormy dribble. Ulsan made up for a goal by Bako at the last minute, but the pendulum has already tipped to Suwon. In the end, Suwon, the lowest ranked player, caught Ulsan.
