In an exciting K League 1 competition organized on May 4th, 2024, Ulsan Hyundai FC managed to eke out a slender victory, defeating FC Seoul with a score of 1-0. The crux of the game rested on a crucial goal scored during the second half, which had eventually led to the match's conclusion in favor of the away team.

It should be noted that the match was highly defensive on both sides. Despite FC Seoul obtaining 5 corner kicks relative to Ulsan Hyundai’s 4, they failed to capitalize on their opportunities, leaving the scoreboard unmarked throughout the game. The data shows that FC Seoul fell into the offside trap three times, while Ulsan Hyundai FC managed to control their attacks effectively with no offsides recorded. This discipline in maintaining their line without being caught offside, might have contributed to Ulsan Hyundai’s overall match domination and their eventual victory.

Furthermore, comparing the two teams, it's evident that while they were evenly matched in terms of discipline —with each getting 2 yellow cards— FC Seoul performed somewhat more aggressively leading to 9 fouls as opposed to Ulsan Hyundai's 7. The higher foul rate of FC Seoul possibly indicates their heightened difficulty in curbing the away team's pressing attack. Thus, again underlining Ulsan Hyundai’s better control on the pitch which proved instrumental in dictating the game's flow.

When it comes down to the defining moment, Ulsan Hyundai's goal in the second half at precise 01:31:54 markings, proved to be a challenge that FC Seoul couldn't rise to. Despite an equally heated second half that saw both teams picking up another yellow card each, FC Seoul could not level the field with an equalizing goal.

Summing up, while FC Seoul did have marginal superiority in corner opportunities, it was the disciplined offensive play of Ulsan Hyundai FC, their lower foul rate and the zero offside count that were the keys to their win. In essence, this game was just as much about the goals scored as it was about the strategic grasp and execution on the pitch, with Ulsan Hyundai FC showcasing impressive control, despite the aggressive pressure from FC Seoul.
