Gwangju defeated Ulsan 2-1 in the Hana Bank K-League 1 2024 8th round match held at Gwangju Soccer Stadium on the 15th.

As the first half ended without scoring even though the team had the upper hand in ball possession, Coach Lee took a game-changing decision at the start of the second half by replacing veteran midfielder Choi Kyung-rok and inserting Park Tae-jun, born in 1999.

It was a ploy to use Jeong Ho-yeon, a defensive midfielder, more aggressive than the first half.

This strategy worked, and in the 13th minute of the second half, Park Tae-jun finished the ball that Jeong Ho-yeon pushed into the penalty arc, opening up Ulsan's goal guarded by national team goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo.

Coach Lee used the replacement card once more.

Striker Lee Kun-hee was brought in, but central midfielder Lee Kang-hyeon was suddenly sent to the ground.

By deploying Jeong Ho-yeon deeper in the front line, he was effectively able to form a two-top team with striker Uhm Um-seong, and this mercenary strategy also led to a goal.

In the 36th minute of the second half, a crack appeared in Ulsan's defense as Jeong Ho-yeon, who is good at keeping the ball, stirred the opponent's penalty area.

Park Tae-jun, who took advantage of this gap, passed a pass into the penalty arc, and Lee Kang-hyeon finished it off with a picturesque right-footed mid-distance shot to make it 2-0.

With this win, Gwangju, which had three consecutive wins against defending champion Ulsan, recorded its fifth win (seven losses) of the season and rose to sixth place.

It is a significant victory for Gwangju.

At the beginning of the season, they fell to the bottom of the rankings due to six consecutive losses, but thanks to this win, they finally returned to the middle of the rankings.

As they showed a performance that overwhelmed Ulsan, currently considered the best team in the K League, they deserve a pass in terms of content.

However, Coach Lee's expression was not bright after the game.

In an interview with a broadcaster, Coach Lee said, "In some ways, today's game is also a game in which we conceded goals.

I want to point out that accurately."

Gwangju conceded a make-up goal to Eom Won-sang 3 minutes after making it 2-0.

Center back Popovich failed to properly handle the aerial ball, which led to Eom Won-sang, who was in the space behind the defense, conceding a goal.

Coach Lee did not attach any special meaning to the evaluation that ‘Ulsan is strong’.

He said, “There is nothing special,” and “In the game against Ulsan, I was particularly lucky, so I scored a goal, and I was lucky, so I didn’t score a goal.”

He added, "We were just a little lucky."

Regarding the fact that the substitution card used in the second half was successful, he said, "It was prepared in the second half.

When Park Tae-jun and Lee Gwang-hyun came in, Uhm Seong-seong and Jeong Ho-yeon were positioned as the top two," and "It was prepared to score more goals through counterattacks.

“I think it went well,” I looked back.

Park Tae-joon, who played well with 1 goal and 1 assist, said, "Today was Teacher's Day when we played, so we celebrated Teacher's Day yesterday.

But the coach was displeased.

He asked if we should play today because he was worried that he might not play well (play well) on Teacher's Day tomorrow, but that's not the case.

“I’m glad I can come,” said Park Tae-jun, who joined Gwangju ahead of the opening of this season.

“When I first transferred, the manager, coaches, and fans had high expectations, but I don’t think I have lived up to them so far.”

He added, “I hope you will be satisfied with the remaining games.”

“We will create the rankings and games that exist,” he said.
