Ulsan tied Pohang 1-1 in the 12th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan on the 5th.
Ulsan (6 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses, 21 points), which defeated Gwangju FC 3-0 in the 11th round held three days ago, was ranked third, falling behind the second-place Jeonbuk Hyundai (6 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, 21 points).
Pohang, which laughed 1-0 in the first East Coast derby of this season at Pohang Steelyard in March, also had to settle for one point in its second showdown.
Pohang (4 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, 16 points), which had its fourth draw this season, remained in sixth place.
Pohang took the lead with Auberdan's first goal seven minutes after kickoff in the first half.
Auverdan, who rushed to the gate with a cross handed over by Lee Chang-woo from the left side, finished with his right foot to open Ulsan's goal guarded by national goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo.
Pohang seemed to score an additional goal in the 20th minute of the first half as striker Giorgi's strong header passed Cho Hyun-woo toward the goal.
However, Ulsan's front-line striker Heo Yul came down to the goal line and kicked the ball with his head to rescue the team from the crisis.

Ulsan, which has since recovered its ball possession by attacking central midfielder Bojanic and took the lead in the game, brought the game to square one just before the end of the first half.
When Lee Chung-yong's shot, which received Bojanic's pass from the right side of the penalty area, hit the left post and bounced, Bojanic kicked it with his right foot again to equalize the goal.
Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon, who raised his ball possession to 64% in the first half but scored only one goal just before the end, tried to change by putting Eric, Um Won-sang and Rubik'sson at the same time at the beginning of the second half.
Pohang, which crouched further as Ulsan's offensive intensified, tried to revive the counterattack opportunity using Giorgi, but rarely produced a threatening scene that could lead to a score.
Ulsan also made an all-out effort in the 22nd minute of the second half by sending in Venezuela's "from the national university" winger Lacaba, but no additional goal came out in the end.
However, just before the end of the game, the video review (VAR) confirmed that Rubik's ball hit the right hand while defending from the right side of the penalty area, causing the flow of the last-minute match to fluctuate.
However, Pohang did not cross Cho Hyun-woo's wall and did not win.
Juningyo, who played kicker, laid it low with his right foot, but Cho Hyun-woo blew himself away to keep Ulsan's draw.
At the Gwangju World Cup Stadium, Gwangju FC defeated Gimcheon Sangmu 1-0.
Gwangju, which lost 0-7 to Saudi Arabia's archrival Al-Hilal in the semifinals of the 2024-2025 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE), and bowed 0-3 in the match against Ulsan just before, secured a welcome victory.
Gwangju (19 points), which earned its fifth win (four draws and three losses) in this season, moved up to fifth. Gimcheon (6 wins, two draws and four losses, 20 points) came in fourth.
Gwangju received a penalty kick opportunity in the 15th minute of the first half when it was determined that Sung's right foot shot hit Park Seung-wook's arm.
Oh Ho-sung, who induced the penalty kick, came out as a kicker himself and finished calmly, and this score became the winning goal.
Manager Lee Jung-hyo, who leads Gwangju, was seen running to the ground immediately after the first half, holding onto the afternoon star and slamming him strongly, perhaps because he did not like the afternoon star's play that created the score. 안전놀이터
In the 6th minute of the second half, Oh Soo-sung received Hayes' penetration pass and attempted a strong right-footed shot from the penalty box, showing off his sharp attack in the second half and leading the team to victory by playing until the end of the game.
