Ulsan, who had no wins in the last two matches, came out determined against Pohang.

Pohang, not wanting to lose at home, responded with quick counterattacks.

Ulsan quickly retaliated, taking the lead with a goal from Ko Seung-beom assisted by Rubiksson.

As the match heated up in the pouring rain, Pohang's Lee Kyu-baek was sent off for a deep tackle, tipping the game in favor of Ulsan.

In the 64th minute, Joo Min-kyu, receiving a pass from Boyanich, scored his first goal in 106 days.

Joo Min-kyu showcased his composure by controlling the ball in front of the goal and shooting between defenders for his ninth goal.

With Joo Min-kyu's revival, Ulsan secured three points and are expected to confirm their third consecutive K League title if they win their home match against Gangwon on November 1.

In Final B, Jeonbuk remain in relegation danger, losing 1-0 to Jeju after conceding a header goal to Song Ju-hun in their away game.

Meanwhile, bottom-placed Incheon defeated Gwangju with a fantastic half-volley shot from Mugosa, closing the gap to 2 points behind 11th place Jeonbuk.
