Ulsan Loses 0-2 At Home To Vissel Kobe... Bottom Of The Group
It was a helpless and perfect defeat at home.

Ulsan HD lost to J-League defending champion Vissel Kobe 0-2 in the third round of the "2024-25 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite" league stage at Ulsan Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 23rd. With this, Ulsan has lost three consecutive games since the opening of the elite tournament, failing to score a single point and maintaining its lowest position.
He took the lead and shook it until the beginning of the game, but soon he was taken by Kobe, allowing the atmosphere. Arabidze scored his unique left footed shot in the 13th minute of the first half, but he was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. Later in the 24th minute of the first half, Yago, who received Jang Si-young's pass, had a perfect opportunity, but it went over the net and was ineffective. Since then, there have been no significant scenes, and the first half has ended.

With the start of the second half, Ulsan began to collapse rapidly. Kobe continued to pressure from the front line one after another, and eventually scored the first goal by causing Ulsan's defense to make mistakes. Jung Woo-young blocked Kobe's counterattack in the third minute of the second half and handed it over to Yun Il-rok, but he immediately gave it to Miyashiro, failing to block a powerful left-footed shot. Ulsan, which allowed the first strike, also launched a counterattack. They deployed Joo Min-gyu, Ko Seung-bum, and Rubik'sson, but rather allowed additional runs.

Ulsan made a mistake during the build-up process in the 28th minute of the second half and Kobe Muto crossed after taking over the ball. Miyashiro finished it with a header and sealed the match. Ulsan, which allowed two runs, quickly introduced Lee Myung-jae and Lee Cheong-yong to reverse the mood, but lost 0-2 as it failed to score a chase due to Kobe's threatening counterattack.

Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon also expressed regret over the result of the match. "I feel sorry for our Ulsan fans for the result. I feel ashamed, I don't deserve it, I have nothing to say. I reflect on myself. I will do my best to recover my disappointment quickly and bring you joy again," Kim said.

Ulsan began to collapse under heavy pressure from Kobe from the start of the build-up. Ulsan, which assembles the game through stable passes from the back, was constantly embarrassed by the pressure of Kobe's fast-paced strikers, Patrick, Yuya Osako, and Yoshinori Muto. In the 31st minute of the first half, his defensive concentration collapsed and he gave Osako a perfect header. It was obvious that goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo lost the game.

In the second half, Kobe's pressure continued to make mistakes and scored the first goal. Jung Woo-young, who blocked Kobe's threatening counterattack in the third minute of the second half, passed the pass to Yoon Il-rok, but easily lost the ball to the opponent. Eventually, this scene served as an excuse and Ulsan allowed a preemptive strike.

Meanwhile, leaving behind regret on the Asian stage, Ulsan will head to Pohang on the 27th to play the season's final 'East Coast Derby' against the Pohang Steelers, who are ranked fourth in the league. 스포츠토토
