Close...but no goal


Well it was a close game, but Jeju United couldn't convert any of its chances. They had at least five legitimate opportunities to score in the first half, and then lost almost all momentum when Ulsan scored in the final minute of the first half.

The second half looked very promising, but again, Jeju missed out on several chances. They scored a goal, but it was later called back for being offside. The same could have been said about Ulsan's goal in the first, as it was equally debatable.

The most exciting part was the final five minutes after they had their goal called back. Jeju was pulling out all the stops, but still couldn't manage to tie it up. Brian's photo pretty much sums up the match:


A very painful and annoying match to say the least. Their next game is on Wednesday at 7:00 pm in the World Cup Stadium in Seogwipo. The only problem is they're facing #1 ranked Gwanju, however, Jeju's first game at home was against Gwanju and was a 1-0 win for United. Hopefully our boys can keep them at bay once again and emerge victorious...

Sports must be a big thing in Jeju, Korea. They seem to have lots of passion for such, as well as the facilities to back it up. Sounds like you are quickly becomming an all-round amateur sport enthusiast.
