AFC Champions League upset! The South Korean giants were eliminated 1-2 by Malaysian teams
As an old K League giant, Ulsan Hyundai has been very good in the AFC Champions League. This season, they are ranked first in the K League and belong to the big favourites for the title. However, in the AFC Champions League, Ulsan Hyundai played an incredible game. In the first group stage, they played 1-1 with Japanese powerhouse Kawasaki Striker, and were tied in the 94th minute. There's not much to say about this game.
However, in this round of matches against Malaysian team Johor, they are a bit too big. Just four minutes into the game, Ulsan Hyundai conceded a lightning goal, and Johor foreign assistant Frestieri used his strong personal ability to take the lead in helping the team score goals. In the subsequent game, although Ulsan Hyundai occupied the advantage of the scene, the opponent's defense was too tenacious. In the 52nd minute of the second half of the match, Yan Yuanshang helped Ulsan Hyundai equalize. But the good times did not last long, and in the 80th minute, Johor played a sharp counterattack, and Brazilian player Bengerson received a pass from teammate Rashid to help the team complete the 2-1 kill.
Judging from the game data, Ulsan Hyundai does not have much of an advantage, their shots are only 9 feet on goal, 1 foot more than the opponent; although the possession rate is 64%, but more is the backcourt. Although Johor is a Malaysian team, their strength is not weak, with Bergerson and Brazilian foreign aid in the front line, Frestieri, Italian foreign aid, and 2 Australian foreign aides in the back line. It can be said that the Guangzhou team defeated them in the first round, and it was not unjust at all.
Only 1 point was accumulated in 2 rounds, and the AFC Champions League qualifier was worrying
After Ulsan Hyundai upset in this round, they only scored 1 point in 2 games. Five points behind top johor. Due to changes in the qualifying rules of this year's AFC Champions League, only the top place in each group can qualify, followed by the second place in the three best groups. Therefore, the hope of Ulsan Hyundai's exit is actually very slim. It is worth reminding that Ulsan Hyundai is now ranked first in the K League, such a strong team, but in the AFC Champions League encountered Waterloo, I don't know if they are affected by the Chinese Super League, but also want to give up the AFC Champions League?
