“Sang-Min Sim scores the only goal of the match, finishing off a move assisted by Lee Dong-Gyeong just minutes after coming off the bench.”
Pivotal“Moments after his goal, Sang-min Sim is booked for a foul, capping a whirlwind cameo appearance.”
Ulsan HD ground out a narrow win over Seoul despite being outplayed for large stretches, with Seoul dominating dangerous attacks 76-61 and winning seven corners to Ulsan's two. The breakthrough came from Ulsan's bench, as a triple substitution at the 76th minute injected fresh legs, and within seven minutes Sang-min Sim had turned provider's assist from Lee Dong-Gyeong into the game's only goal. Seoul will rue their profligacy, generating far more territorial pressure and attacking momentum but failing to register a single shot on target across the ninety minutes. For Ulsan, the win is a huge boost given their precarious mid-table position, while Seoul's wastefulness in the final third will be a serious concern heading into their remaining fixtures.
