Ulsan Hyundai won 1-0 against Brentford in the 2023 Atlantic Cup held at Bella Vista, Municipal Bella Vista, Algarve Istidau, Portugal on the 3rd (hereinafter Korean time).

The Atlantic Cup mainly features club teams from Northern and Central Europe. A total of 8 teams including Ulsan Hyundai, Brentford B 스포츠토토 (England), FC Mittwillan, Lynby BK, FC Copenhagen, Bronby (Denmark), AIK Stockholm, Halmstad BK (Sweden), and 7 teams from the European 1st Division will participate. Dog teams compete. The teams are divided into two groups of four and play in the group stage, with the first place in each group competing in the finals.

Ulsan, which is trying to win its second K-League 1 title, started field training in the Algarve on the 22nd of last month. Ahead of the new season, Ulsan, which recruited midfielders Boyanich, Rubiksson (above Sweden), Esaka Ataru (Japan), and Joo Min-gyu, who was the top scorer, conducted physical and organizational training ahead of the match.

The Brentford B team, the opponent of this day, is the team where Romeo Beckham, the son of David Beckham, belongs.

Ulsan started most of the main players against the Brentford B team. Along with key players such as Martin Adam, Um Won-sang, and Jo Hyun-woo, the newly joined Ataru and Boyanic were brought into the game. Ulsan, who had their first real match in the winter field training, played a fierce match against the Brentford B team through various tactical changes.

It was not a normal situation. If Brentford B was in normal physical condition because it was in the middle of the season, Ulsan was in a different condition. Of course, a fierce game continued because Ulsan mainly had young players.

In the first half, Um Won-sang, following the newly recruited Ataru, showed an active appearance by attempting a sharp shot. In addition, goalkeeper Cho Hyeon-woo blocked the opponent’s sharp attack with his whole body.

With a large number of players replaced, Ulsan tasted the goal in the second half. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Lee Myung-jae scored with a mid-range shot and won 1-0. /
