Because Ulsan will secure the K League championship regardless of the remaining two matches if they win against Gangwon, they aggressively attacked from the beginning.

Ulsan, which continuously attacked, reaped the rewards in the 35th minute of the first half.

In a throw-in situation, Rubiksson, assisted by Ko Seung-beom, scored the opening goal.

During this process, the ball hit Rubiksson's chest and then Gangwon's Kim Kang-guk's arm, but after more than five minutes of video review, the referee recognized Rubiksson's goal.

Early in the second half, Ulsan successfully defended against Gangwon's counterattack and scored their second goal with perfect passing play.

Lee Chung-yong, receiving a long pass from Lee Myung-jae, delivered a sharp cross, and striker Joo Min-kyu shook the net.

Joo Min-kyu's goal heated up the Ulsan home stadium, but six minutes later, Gangwon's Lee Sang-heon scored a follow-up goal.

Lee Sang-heon noticed that goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo had come forward and lightly curled the ball towards the far side of the goal.

As Gangwon's fierce pursuit continued, Ulsan increased their defense to five players and locked down, ultimately achieving a 2 to 1 victory and completing the impressive feat of three consecutive K League championships.
