“We targeted to win this game (against Sundowns) to reach the Round of 16, so it was a disappointment that we didn’t,” said Kim. 

“Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund are considered stronger teams than us so we need to recover well and organise better for the coming games.”

Against Sundowns, Ulsan produced a below par performance in the first half that saw them conceding the only goal of the game but can take positives from their dominant performance after the break, albeit without being able to find the equaliser.

Defender Seo Myeong-kwan, who had to be replaced before the end of the Sundowns game due to injury, is a concern for Kim with the centre-back having missed training sessions.

Meanwhile, Fluminense will enter the game full of confidence having shown their quality against Dortmund, with the tie ending in a goalless draw.

Fluminense created the better of the chances and the four-time Brazilian champions will be keen to find their finishing against Ulsan to boost their knockout stage hopes.
