It's a valuable achievement from the thorny road.

In the middle of the season when the leading competition was in full swing, Ulsan suddenly faced a sudden change of head coach.

Coach Kim Pan-gon, who took over the baton in a hurry, turned the crisis into an opportunity with the spirit of "breaking the seal" and won the trophy.

Ulsan, which burned its will to lose three consecutive games in a thick rain, broke the balance.

Rubik'sson shook the net in the 35th minute of the first half, and the first goal was recognized after eight minutes of video review to see if the ball hit the hand.

Ulsan's additional goal, which gained momentum, came from the feet of the two veterans in the eighth minute of the second half.

Lee Chung-yong, who received the front-line penetration pass, connected to Joo Min-kyu and pushed it in to win.

Ulsan added five stars to its chest in its home turf here.

Home fans stayed late at the stadium to share the beginning of the Ulsan dynasty.
