Ulsan HD FC returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 away victory over Jeju SK FC in the K League 1 on May 11, 2025. The reigning champions showed their champion mentality by coming from behind or holding onto a narrow lead to secure three important points on the road. Jeju put up a strong fight and equalized at one stage, but Ulsan's quality and experience ultimately told as they found a late winner. This result helped Ulsan keep pace with the leaders at the top of the table after their shock defeat to Gimcheon, while for Jeju it was another disappointing result in a inconsistent season. The Ulsan manager was pleased with his team's response to adversity, and the Jeju coach was left to reflect on how his side let a positive result slip through their fingers.
