Ulsan HD host Sanfrecce at the Munsu Football Stadium on Tuesday for matchday three of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League. Both teams have seen an identical trajectory so far, winning their opening game before drawing the second one.
Speaking of the Korean champions, Ulsan overcame Chinese side Chengdu Rongcheng 2-1 on home turf, including a stoppage-time winner from Heo Yool, which completed their turnaround.
In their next game, the Tigers came up against another Chinese club, this time Shanghai Shenshua, who also took the lead in the game before Ulsan equalized in the second half and earned a point.
The K League 1 giants have shown incredible fighting spirit to claw their way back into the tie on both occasions. However, their propensity to concede goals is an Achilles heel, and it will make life difficult for them in this tournament.
