The theme of the final regular league game of "Hana Bank K League 1 2024," which will be held simultaneously at 6 stadiums across the country at 3 p.m. on the 6th, is "You, I met you well." The two teams located at the top, Ulsan HD, which is aiming for its third consecutive league win, and Gimcheon Sangmu, which is creating a sensation in promotion, will compete for the lead at Munsu Football Stadium. Ulsan has four wins and one draw in the last five league games, and Gimcheon has recently won three consecutive games, ranking first and second, respectively. Ulsan beat Gimcheon, which scored 56 points with 58 points, by two points.
If Ulsan wins this showdown, it will enter the split round with a five-point gap. The victory can give a "certain lead" because the difference between Ulsan and third-place Gangwon (52 points) and fourth-place Pohang Seoul (50 points or more). It is also necessary to quickly rebound the sagging atmosphere as it lost 0-4 in the second round of the Asian Champions League Elite League stage against Yokohama F. Marinos on the 2nd. On the contrary, if Gimcheon wins, the ranking will be reversed. Chung Jung-yong, who once fell to fourth place due to continued sluggishness after taking the lead in late July, seeks to regain the lead in about two months. 안전놀이터
Ulsan, which has been undefeated by Gimcheon for 13 consecutive games for more than six years since its last loss in March 2018, is determined to further solidify its relationship with its natural enemy, and Gimcheon is expressing its ambition to overcome Ulsan's barriers this time. It can be summed up as a battle between Ulsan's "shield" and Gimcheon's "chang." Ulsan has not given a single goal in the last three consecutive games, while Gimcheon has scored eight goals in the same three games. Ulsan goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo's "best defense" and Gimcheon ace Lee Dong-kyung's "left foot" aimed at his former team's goal are the keywords penetrating the upcoming showdown.
