The aspect of the 'absolute first round' is rarely revealed.
Until the opening of the 2025 K League 1, Ulsan HD did not seem to be a match for the team. By winning the title one after another in the 2022-2024 season, he opened the door for the third K-League era following Seongnam Ilhwa (three consecutive losses in the 1993-1995 season and 2001-2003 season), and Jeonbuk Hyundai (five consecutive losses in the 2017-2021 season). Still, Kim Pan-gon's leadership with well-organized history and rich experience seemed to show no signs of abating.
With 10 matches in the league, Ulsan is far from expected. With four wins, two draws and four losses, and 14 points (10 points), it ranks fifth after Gimcheon Sangmu (14 points) with 12 points. While there is not much gap with Gwangju FC (16 points), it is far from the top-ranked Hana Citizen (20 points) in Daejeon.
The results were good, but the team's contents were also sluggish. Ulsan, which had only one win, one draw and three losses in its recent five matches, has scored five goals but conceded six. It had scoreless matches when it earned points against FC Seoul (0-0) and Daegu FC (1-0), but had only one goal. The unbalanced offense and defense, which was revealed in the course of its defeat by Pohang Steelers (0-1), Daejeon (2-3), and Gangwon FC (1-2), also stood out.
Most of the teams have had one face-to-face meeting. It is no longer possible to avoid the title "early half." Ulsan needs a rebound in order to achieve its goal of "K League 1 consecutive losses" this season. At least, it should prevent the team from losing consecutive games for the second time this season following the Pohang-Daejeon match. A rebound is all the more urgent in that it needs to boost the mood as much as possible before the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
However, the team is not strong enough. FC Anyang, which will meet at Anyang Sports Complex on Sunday, is the one who lost to Ulsan in the opening match of this season. Ulsan had its head down as it suffered a shocking 0-1 loss to the promoted team Anyang in its home game on Feb. 16.
Anyang is playing "no-knocking soccer." It has four wins and five losses (12 points) in nine matches, with no draw. It gained 11 goals and conceded 11. After losing three consecutive games after winning the opening match against Ulsan, it seemed to be facing the limit of its promotion team, but it is still fighting back with its performance that does not collapse easily. Anyang, which won the last match against Suwon FC 3-1 will try its first consecutive win in K League 1 against Ulsan, which has memories of winning the opening match. 토토사이트
Ulsan needs concentration in the overall offense and defense. The team should resolve the ups and downs of its decision-making power and stability of its defense line, which were revealed in the last five games. Anyang, which exploded its firepower with three points in the match against Suwon FC for the first time in a long time, is likely to choose not to let it go as it is a match that even has home advantage. If it adds well-organized defense concentration like the opening game, it could make Ulsan cry again.
