Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Adriel D'Avila Ba Loua struck the only goal as Gwangju FC edged out Ulsan Citizen FC 1-0 in the FA Cup Round of 16, sending the visitors through. It was a contest that defied the pre-match expectations, with the underdogs carving out a result their second-half dominance ultimately merited.

The decisive moment arrived in the 35th minute when Ba Loua finished coolly to put Gwangju ahead, a lead they protected with increasing authority after the interval. Ulsan's frustration boiled over late, earning a yellow card in the 82nd minute, but by then the visitors had already seized control of the tie.

The numbers told a brutal story for the home side: Ulsan managed just 25% possession against Gwangju's 75%, and the corner count finished level at one apiece. Gwangju were the better side in the second half, outplaying their hosts without needing to embellish their lead. Ba Loua, a midfielder, earned a 9.29 rating for his match-winning contribution. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Ulsan Citizen FC, a prediction the result failed to confirm.
