The two teams created a rare spectacle in the first half alone, hitting the goalposts twice each.
The long-standing 0-0 balance was broken by Anyang player Matheus opening the scoring.
However, Ulsan's Yago leveled the match with a penalty kick, after which the left foot of ace Lee Dong-gyeong shone.
In the 28th minute of the second half, he capitalized on a loose ball resulting from a miscommunication between Anyang's defender and goalkeeper, calmly slotting it home to turn the game around. Five minutes later, he successfully converted a brilliant free kick, leading his team to a 3-1 comeback victory.
Recording his first multiple-goal match of the season and scoring in his third consecutive game, Lee Dong-gyeong rose to the top of the offensive point rankings.
