There has been a few days of controversy over the winning goal, which has won the debut before debut to Shin Tae -yong (54).
Ulsan won 1-0 in the 25th round of Hana Bank’s K-League 1 2025 with Jeju SK at the Ulsan Munsu Soccer Stadium on the 9th.
It was a victory in just 12 games, and it was a victory before Shin Tae -yong’s debut. However, there was a steaming steaming to celebrate the victory. The decision to win Ulsan is because the goal has caused a controversy.
The situation was like this. In the second half of the 29th minute, Rubicson hit the hand of the goalkeeper in the second half of the 29th minute. Eric’s location here was offside. Jeju players raised their hands at the same time, looking at the referee as if they were convinced of the scoring invalid.
However, the four -minute video reading (VAR) judge scored. Eric is off -side, but regardless of this, it was judged that the ball had already crossed the goal line before it touched Eric’s feet. Ulsan players were delighted, and Jeju players and Kim Hak -bum strongly protested against offside. In the process, Kim Hak -bum received a yellow card from Park Byung -jin.
This goal, which decided to win and loses, has been controversial. The fans of the fans were gone on the Internet, YouTube and the soccer community.

Apart from the decision that ‘the ball is already beyond the goal’, it was argued that if Eric’s movement in the offside position interrupted Kim Dong -joon, who tried to hit the ball, it was not a goal. ‘If a player in an offside position plays involved in scoring, the scoring will be invalid.’ Even if there was no involvement of Eric, Kim Dong -joon could not conclude that the ball was blocked, but there was also a possibility of preventing the score.
Furthermore, there is a claim that the ball has not exceeded the goal line. It showed the scoring situation from various angles on the broadcast, but it was difficult to determine by the naked eye. It is also a pity that the referee did not conduct a review at the time. If the video that fans would understand as much as the VOR room was recognized, the controversy could be resolved, but it was not.
The position of both team command tower on the controversial goal after the game was also very different. Shin Tae -yong, who won the victory, said, “I have a lot of VAR experience as a director, but I wanted to be a goal when the reading time was long.” Kim Hak -bum, who was warned for protesting, asked about the regret for the run, saying, “If you talk about it, you will not be fined.”
