Ulsan's passionate team launched a stormy counterattack, however, they seemed to be in a difficult situation against the solid defense formed by Johor Bahru's foreigners. In the second half of the match, Ulsan's goal was hit again. In the 67th minute, Arivaz's shot hit an Ulsan defender and the ball arced into the far corner of the net to make it 2-0! Then, in the 88th minute, substitute Bergson showed his killer instinct again and made it 3-0. In the end, Johor Bahru beat Ulsan by a landslide 3-0 and climbed up the table again.
In the next four rounds of matches, Ulsan will face Shanghai Harbor, Shanghai Shenhua and Shandong Taishan in the Chinese Super League. Having lost their first four matches, Ulsan know that they can't afford to slip up in each of their next matches. Only with the concerted efforts of all players will they be able to keep their ticket to the top 16. Looking back, the Chinese Super League teams have won fewer and lost more against the Korean K-League teams. Despite Johor Bahru's failure in the first four rounds, the fact that they have been crowned K-League champions for three consecutive years proves that their strength is not to be underestimated. Shanghai Harbour, on the other hand, had a slightly bumpy journey to the AFC Champions League this season, which gives them a chance to make it to the next round.
May Shanghai Seaport stop dropping the ball and go all out in their upcoming road trip and try to get all three points from Ulsan!
