K-League 1 Gwangju Defeated Ulsan 2-0 for the First Time in 8 Years… ‘Most wins’ in the first division of the team

Lee Kun-hee and Beka continue to be undefeated for the 9th time with consecutive goals… Jeonbuk drew 0-0 away in Jeju

Gwangju FC, ‘one year after promotion’ in professional soccer K-League 1, defeated leader Ulsan Hyundai for the first time in eight years and went undefeated for nine consecutive games.

Gwangju, with its 12th win of the season, also set the record for the most wins in the club’s history in the first division.

Gwangju defeated Ulsan 2-0 in the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 29th round away game held at Ulsan Munsu Soccer Stadium on the afternoon of the 3rd.

After losing 0-1 in the home game against Ulsan on July 2, Gwangju went on an upward trend by going undefeated for about two months.

Gwangju (12 wins, 9 draws, 8 losses, 45 points), who swept up 17 points with 4 wins and 5 draws during this period, is creating a sensation, rising to 3rd place even though it is only mid-to-late season, despite being labeled as a promoted team. 카지노사이트

In addition, Gwangju achieved a ‘welcome victory’ against Ulsan for the first time in eight years.

The last time Gwangju defeated Ulsan was in an away game (1-0) on July 11, 2015.

This season, they lost both of their previous two matches.

Above all, since 2016 (11 wins) during the K-League Classic era, the team enjoyed multiple successes, including writing a new history for the club by having the most wins in the first division of professional soccer.

On the other hand, Ulsan (19 wins, 4 draws, 7 losses, 61 points), who had only 1 win in the last 5 games, was unable to widen the points gap with second place Pohang Steelers (53 points) to double digits on this day.

Gwangju scored first thanks to Ha Seung-woon’s persistence.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Ha Seung-woon created a mixed bag by overcoming opposing midfielders Lee Dong-kyung and Lee Gyu-seong after a persistent struggle near the penalty arc.

As a result, Lee Dong-kyung, Lee Kyu-seong, and Jeong Seung-hyun made a mistake and the ball accidentally flowed backwards, and Lee Kun-hee did not miss it and quickly rushed to the front of the goal.

Lee Kun-hee, who even passed goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo, who advanced to narrow the angle, pushed the ball in with his left foot and flowed into Ulsan’s goal.

Last defender Kim Young-kwon tried to clear the ball with his body, but it was not enough.

At the start of the second half, Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo attempted to turn things around by subtracting Lee Dong-kyung and inserting Eom Won-sang, who is good at breaking through.

However, it was Gwangju who struck the net in the second half.

Nine minutes into the second half, Beka opened the goal for Ulsan, guarded by Cho Hyun-woo, with a thunderous right-footed shot.

In the penalty arc, when Lee Hee-gyun’s mid-range shot bounced off the defense, Beca leapt from her spot and finished with a picturesque volley.

This is the first score reported in the K-League by Beka, a Georgian striker who joined Gwangju last June.

Coach Hong, who became desperate, threw a game-winning move two minutes later by bringing in Joo Min-gyu and Lee Cheong-yong.

However, as there was no change in the situation, they went all-out, replacing Kim Min-hyuk in the 22nd minute with midfielder Boyanic, a member of the Swedish national team, and Kim Tae-hwan instead of Seol Young-woo in the 26th minute.

However, Ulsan was unable to overcome Gwangju’s defense, which featured the concentration of Lee Soon-min, Ahn Young-gyu, and Aaron, and had to accept a 0-2 defeat at home.

At Jeju World Cup Stadium, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Jeju United drew 0-0.

Jeonbuk, which had no wins in the last four games with 3 draws and 1 loss, remained in 5th place with 43 points.

The most decisive moment in the second half was when Jeonbuk Song Min-gyu had a great opportunity to face the opposing goalkeeper one-on-one, but Jeju defender Song Joo-hoon made a lunge to block.

Jeju, with 9 wins, 8 draws, and 12 losses, and 35 points, maintained 9th place.
