Ulsan’s efforts paid off. Ulsan balanced the game in time. In the 27th minute of the first half, Kim Hyun-woo committed a foul by pulling Joo Min-gyu’s uniform inside the box, resulting in a penalty kick. The results did not change even after video review (VAR). Joo Min-gyu, who played as a kicker, deceived Lee Chang-geun with a calm shot in the 29th minute of the first half and scored the equalizing goal.

The flow of the second half was not much different from the first half. Ulsan looked for opportunities by rotating the ball, and Daejeon blocked Ulsan’s attack and focused on a counterattack. As the game was not going smoothly, Ulsan made a change in the 15th minute of the second half by switching Kim Ji-hyun to Lee Chung-yong. Daejeon responded by replacing Massa, who helped Kim In-gyun’s first goal, with Kim Young-wook.

In the middle of the second half, Ulsan pounded Daejeon’s defense with a long pass from the back. There were good chances in this process, but the comeback failed. In the 35th minute of the second half, Ulsan turned Joo Se-jong’s mistake into an opportunity and Kim Min-hyuk sent the ball to Bako, who ran forward, but the opportunity was lost as Bako was unable to overcome Daejeon’s defense.

Ulsan was frustrated, and Daejeon breathed a sigh of relief. In the 38th minute of the second half, Anton cleared the ball with his head into the box, but the ball went to Bako, who broke into Daejeon’s net with an exquisite volley shot into the corner of the goal in a difficult situation. However, after VAR, it was decided that Lim Jong-eun’s position affected Lee Chang-geun’s vision, and Bako’s goal was cancelled. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Ulsan attempted to come back again with Kim Min-hyuk’s shot, but Kim Min-hyuk’s shot was caught by Lee Chang-geun. Meanwhile, Daejeon replaced Joo Se-jong and Kim In-gyun with Lee Jin-hyeon and Leandro to take the reins of attack.
