In the 23rd minute of the second half, Ju Min-gyu hit a non-stop volley at Seol Young-woo’s ground ball cross from the right flank. The ball went straight and hit the net. Joo Min-gyu, who completed the multi-goal, roared at the away fans of Ulsan.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Seoul replaced midfielder Ki Sung-yueng and put striker Ji Dong-won in to increase the number of victories. Ulsan dropped the line and focused on defense.
