The match played under the scorching sun in Cincinnati saw a brave performance from both teams, but in the end, Bellingham stepped up to give the German side all three points.
Knowing that a draw would be enough to advance, coach Niko Kovac still did not choose to play safe. Dortmund took the initiative to control the game and soon put pressure on Ulsan's goal.
However, veteran goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo of the Korean team showed excellent form when he continuously denied clear chances from Serhou Guirassy and Jobe Bellingham.
After many missed opportunities, the turning point came in the 36th minute when Bellingham made a delicate pass for Daniel Svensson to shoot diagonally past Jo Hyeon-woo. Bellingham's younger brother continued to make a strong impression. In the previous match, the midfielder born in 2005 scored directly.
Jobe integrated quickly with Dortmund. |
Ulsan entered the second half with more determination. Kang Sang-woo and Lee Jin-hyun both had shots that forced goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to show his skills.
However, Dortmund's defense played with concentration, especially in the final minutes when they had to withstand the opponent's quick attacks.
Goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo continued to be a rare bright spot for Ulsan, making several brilliant saves, including a header from Ramy Bensebaini and a powerful shot from Yan Couto. However, Jo's individual efforts could not help Ulsan avoid a fourth consecutive defeat, something they have not experienced since 2018.
With this victory, Dortmund close out the group stage as the top team in Group F and will face the runners-up in Group E in the knockout round in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Ulsan HD can hold their heads high after a resilient performance against one of the Bundesliga's top clubs.
