Ulsan HD lose to Dortmund to wrap up Club World Cup

Ulsan HD FC have wrapped up their short FIFA Club World Cup journey with a third straight loss, falling to Borussia Dortmund to bow out with a winless record. Ulsan HD, three-time defending K League 1 champions, were thoroughly outplayed in their 1-0 loss to the German club in their final Group F match at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Wednesday (local time). Only some brilliant saves by goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo kept the score respectable for Ulsan HD, who failed to record a shot attempt in the first half. Ulsan HD's fate had already been sealed before this match, following a 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns FC and a 4-2 defeat to Fluminense FC. Dortmund, after a goalless draw against Fluminense and a 4-3 win over Sundowns, had not yet clinched a knockout berth before this match. And it was complete domination by Dortmund in the first half. After peppering Jo with one dangerous shot after another, they finally got on the board in the 36th minute. Dortmund pressed high to cause a Ulsan turnover near the box, and Jobe Bellingham set up Daniel Svensson for a left-footed finish.
