Ulsan Vs Melbourne City Highlights, AFC Champions League Elite: Younis’ Late Winner Seals City’s Knockout Spot

Hello, we are back with another live blog, and it’s Ulsan HD vs Melbourne City. Stay tuned for live updates.

The AFC Champions League Elite 2025-26 matches will be streamed live on FanCode.

We’re off! Ulsan HD get the ball rolling against Melbourne City in this AFC Champions League Elite 2025-26 clash. No slow start, the tempo’s sharp from the first touch, Ulsan look to stretch it wide while Melbourne City stay tight and organised. Early signs of a lively one.

Melbourne City get a chance to load the box. Alessandro Lopane draws a foul high up the pitch, buying his side a free-kick in a dangerous area. Players are already moving forward, this could be the first real test for Ulsan’s defence.

A small breather for Melbourne City. Ryan Teague wins a free-kick inside his own half after Lee Dong-Gyeong comes in late. Nothing dramatic, but it slows Ulsan’s momentum and gives City a chance to reset and build again from the back.

Melbourne City strike first!

It’s Max Caputo rising right in the middle of the box and thumping a header past the keeper. Clean contact, no hesitation, and suddenly Ulsan are staring at the scoreboard. Melbourne City lead 1-0, and you could see that coming, they’ve been knocking on the door.

Half-time whistle blows, Ulsan HD 0, Melbourne City 1.

City take a slender lead thanks to Caputo’s header, and they’ve looked the sharper side so far. Ulsan need to regroup if they want to turn this around in the second half.

Harrison Delbridge nearly doubles Melbourne City’s lead, but Jo Hyeon-Woo keeps Ulsan alive with a sharp save. Moments later, Yoon Jong-Gyu’s foul gives City another chance to press forward.

Ulsan make a change! Cho Hyun-Taek comes on for Sim Sang-Min, hoping fresh legs can spark a fightback.

Darijan Bojanic fires Ulsan HD back into it! A crisp right-footed strike from outside the box finds the bottom right corner, leveling it 1-1. What a turnaround.

Marcus “Yoyo” Younis snatches it for Melbourne City! A slick left-footed strike from the centre of the box after a set-piece sees City steal it 2-1 in the dying moments. Heartbreak for the Tigers.

That’s a wrap! We’ll be back with another live blog soon, until then, bye-bye.
