Gimcheon Sangmu FC delivered a resounding 3-0 victory over Ulsan Hyundai FC at Gimcheon Stadium, marking one of the most decisive results of the K League 1’s 32nd round and reaffirming their status near the top of the table. Powered by standout performances from Lee Dong-Jun and Lee Dong-Gyeong, Jung-Yong Chung’s side never looked in doubt, controlling the tempo and pulling away in an inspired second half.

The match began with Ulsan Hyundai, under Tae-Yong Shin, lining up in a balanced 4-4-2. However, the military side’s disciplined pressing soon paid dividends. In the 29th minute, midfielder Lee Dong-Jun broke the deadlock, capitalizing on defensive hesitation to coolly slot home and give Gimcheon Sangmu an early advantage—a lead they would never relinquish.

Ulsan, who entered the match desperate for points to salvage their struggling campaign, struggled to establish rhythm in midfield. Despite having Darijan Bojanić and Jin-hyun Lee patrolling the center, passing lanes were quickly closed by Gimcheon’s cohesive defensive unit. Neither of Ulsan’s forwards, Heo Yool nor In-woo Back, found space behind Gimcheon’s line, and Hyeon-woo Jo was forced into a string of difficult saves.

The turning point arrived late, as Gimcheon’s grip tightened. In the 79th minute, substitute Kim Seung-Sub pounced on a low cross from Lee Dong-Gyeong to double the lead, a goal that underlined Gimcheon’s attacking width and Ulsan’s defensive disarray. Just two minutes later, the provider turned scorer: Lee Dong-Gyeong finished a beautifully worked move, assisted by Park Tae-Jun, to send the home crowd into celebration. Ulsan’s frustration was capped by a late yellow card to Kang Sang-Woo in stoppage time—a symbol of their unraveling.

The result was never in doubt as the final whistle blew. Lee Dong-Jun’s opening goal set the tone, but it was Gimcheon Sangmu’s collective intensity and tactical execution that overwhelmed an increasingly listless Ulsan side. Midfield dynamo Seung Won Lee and defensive anchor Kim Kang-San led by example, neutralizing Ulsan’s most creative threats and allowing Gimcheon to transition seamlessly from defense to attack.

With this emphatic win, Gimcheon Sangmu fortify their top-two standing in the K League 1, while Ulsan Hyundai’s season lurches toward further uncertainty. The result echoes throughout the title race: Gimcheon’s direct rivals are now on notice, and Ulsan’s ambitions face renewed scrutiny with only a handful of matches remaining.
