Ulsan will play Bucheon FC1995 and Hana Bank K League 12026 away in the third round at Bucheon Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 15th. Coach Kim Hyun-seok, who made his successful league debut with a 3-1 complete victory against Gangwon FC in the opening match on the 28th of last month, plans to run on a winning streak through the away game in Bucheon.

This is the first face-off between the two teams in league history. In the past, Ulsan met in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup (currently the Korea Cup) in 2022 and won after a penalty shootout, but this is the first time they face each other in a regular league. Ulsan has a meaning of more than three points. Ulsan has not won an away game for 308 days since the match against SK in Jeju on May 11 last year. He is determined to shake off the long-time away winless jinx through the match against Bucheon.

Ulsan had about two weeks of reorganization as the second round with FC Seoul, which was scheduled for the 7th, was postponed to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE) schedule. Yago, who scored multiple goals in the opening game and was selected as the best 11 in the first round of the K League 1, as well as key players such as Boyanichi, Cho Hyun-taek and Choi Seok-hyun are in the best condition. In particular, Yago proved himself to be the owner of the front line by scoring a goal from the first game after moving to Ulsan.

There are also people who know the opponent Bucheon well. Coach Kim Hyun-seok had overwhelming performances against Bucheon in the past when he was in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, and the Jeonnam Dragons. In addition, Jang Si-young and Cho Hyun-taek, who have experience in renting in Bucheon, shared the opponent's tactical characteristics and team atmosphere with their teammates to match the target point. Lee Kyu-sung, a key member of the midfield, will achieve the record of 300 K-League appearances when he participates in this game.

According to the club, manager Kim Hyun-seok expressed confidence, saying, "Bucheon's unique DNA has already been elaborately analyzed in his head," adding, "The overall record may be blank, but the winning formula is clear." He then expressed his determination, saying, "I will prove the scenario prepared through the pressure of the expedition with results."

Yago, the main character of the opening multi-goal, said, "I feel like I'm getting the support of the coach, teammates and fans in Ulsan. Therefore, good performance is natural. I will score a lot of goals for the team in the future," he said. Lee Hee-kyun, who scored a net goal, also said, "I'm happy to win the last match against Gangwon, but I still need to focus a little more. I will repay the fans' support by showing them what I couldn't show last year."

Starting with the match against Bucheon, Ulsan will play a series of away games at Jeju SK on the 18th. On the 22nd, the Gimcheon Sangmu will be brought to the home turf to play a home game.
