Professional soccer K League 1 FC Seoul took the lead with a complete victory in an away match between Ulsan HD and the first and second place. In particular, Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong praised his performance in the first half, which destroyed his opponent by scoring three goals, saying, "It was perfect."

Coach Kim Ki-dong said at a press conference after winning 4-1 against Ulsan in the second round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 at Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan on the 15th, "I am grateful that more guardian (supporters) came than I thought even though it was Wednesday."

"In the first half, we played a perfect game as planned. The last minute of the second half was inevitable. I had no choice but to lower the line as the opponent drove. The players' concentration and good holding led to victory. I'm proud as a coach and I'm looking forward to the next game as I see the team strengthen," he added.

With this victory, Seoul shook off the winless jinx against Hyundai in Jeonbuk four days ago for the first time in nine years, and the winless jinx against Ulsan for the first time in 10 years. Regarding the recurring jinx story, head coach Kim Ki-dong laughed, saying, "[Jinx] says this is really the last time," and added, "Jeonbuk and Ulsan are also teams we compete with." "The fact that we came all the way and won the game with the teams competing for the championship will be a factor for the players to play with confidence."

Head coach Kim Ki-dong said, "I've still been trying to play the soccer I saw in the first half rather than the goal of winning," adding, "I showed a perfect game away from home." We have to prepare to constantly show that kind of performance, and the players have to grow," he added.

It is also a welcome factor for Seoul that Huiz scored his first goal on the day and Song Min-gyu also scored multiple goals at a time when Klimala's dependence on scoring has been high.

Manager Kim Ki-dong said, "I want a lot of things like that. If Klimala is in charge of 80% of the total score of the team, there is no one to put it in if Klimala is caught, he said. "If (Song) Min-gyu or Whois do it once when Klimala is caught, it becomes a factor that can make the opponent difficult." "As much as I gained confidence, I think I will show good performance in the match against Daejeon," he said.
