Rakaba (22) opened his first scoring as a member of Ulsan HD.

At the 11th round home game between Gwangju FC and Hana Bank K League 1 2025 held at Munsu Football Stadium on Sunday, Ulsan beat Lee Chung-yong, Rakaba and Eric 3 to 0 with consecutive goals. With this result, Ulsan has secured 20 points with six wins, two draws and five losses in 13 matches, jumping to the third place.

It was a game where he caught several rabbits. He had field goals in four games since the game against Daegu FC (1-0 win) on April 13, and had his first home victory in about two months since the game against Jeju SK FC (2-0 win) on March 9. What is most encouraging is that Lacaba scored a goal in his Ulsan uniform.

When Eric's right footed shot was blocked by Kim Kyung-min in the 32nd minute of the second half, right after the substitution was introduced, Rakaba pushed in the second ball and shook the net. In the extra time of the second half, he helped Eric's third goal and completed his debut assist following his debut goal.

Coach Kim Pan-gon said in a press conference after the match, "I heard that it was the first score in 200 days (264 days). He was frustrated at some point in Ulsan, but he is a very sincere and passionate player. "It's good to see you scoring a goal and being happy, and I hope you'll perform better using this as a foothold," he said with a thumbs-up.

Rakaba, who met him in the mixed zone (joint coverage area), also looked more relaxed. "I am very happy and happy more than anything else that I can be of help to my team. Now that we have won one game, it is important to continue winning streak. That is how Ulsan is supposed to be," Rakaba said.

It was a short period of time, but the two players were especially good. Regarding this, he said, "I'm in the process of getting to know each other while keeping pace with Eric. For example, I'm looking for factors such as whether he likes receiving passes with his feet or connecting to space. He is a really good player."

Asked to compare the difference between the stage he has experienced and the K-League, he replied, "The K-League is a very high-quality and competitive league. I think I am asking a lot of things physically. Personally, I always try to keep calm when I play games." 안전놀이터

Ulsan is set to hold a "big event" called the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. "We expect a very difficult game," Lacava said. "When I was in Brazil, I personally felt how good the team was. First of all, it will be important not only to continue the current momentum but also to reduce mistakes and show our own performance in the Club World Cup," he said.

"I want to say thank you to the coach. He has consistently given me faith in my adaptation, and that faith has never wavered. Thanks to him, I was able to quickly melt into the team. My teammates also helped me a lot. But as for me, it's just the beginning, and I just think that I should do my best to contribute to the team," he said.
