A dominant display from Ulsan FC saw them crush Yeonsu Songdo 4–0 in the Korean Cup on June 20, 2026. The match, a second-round encounter, highlighted the gulf in class between the K League 1 side and their lower-league opponents, as Ulsan advanced comfortably to the next stage.
Match Overview
From the opening whistle, Ulsan FC imposed their quality. They controlled possession and created chances at will. The first goal came in the 14th minute — a well-taken strike from the edge of the box after a quick passing move. Yeonsu Songdo, a side from the amateur ranks, defended bravely but could not withstand wave after wave of pressure. Ulsan doubled the lead before halftime through a header from a corner.
The second half followed a similar pattern. Ulsan added two more goals in the 63rd and 79th minutes, both from close range after sustained pressure. Yeonsu Songdo rarely threatened, managing only one shot on target throughout the match. The final score of 4–0 did not flatter the visitors, who could have won by an even greater margin.
