This is because Lingard's header completed the comeback in the 22nd round home game against Daejeon Hana Citizen held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th.
Lingard is a world-class star who played over 200 games for the 'prestigious' Manchester United in the English Premier League (EPL) and also played for the England national team, and he joined Seoul with the greatest name value of all time.
At the beginning of the season, he was unable to score any offensive points and was out of action for about two months due to a knee injury, but after his comeback in the 13th round match against Daegu FC, he gradually became integrated into the K-League, and since last month, he has completely adapted to Seoul, even wearing the captain's armband in place of the injured Ki Sung-yong.
In the meantime, in the 19th round match against Gangwon FC, he warmed up his footwork by scoring his debut goal in the K-League with a penalty kick, and finally, in the match against Daejeon, he recorded his first field goal with a reverse winning header and blew the 'pipe'.
The hand gestures and foot shapes that resemble blowing the pipe, and the humorous expression are famous as Lingard's goal celebration.
Lingard's goal also led to Seoul's victory (2-0 win against Gangwon, 2-1 win against Daejeon).
Lingard's flute is Seoul's victory song.
Also, in the last 6 games in which Lingard wore the captain's armband, Seoul won 4, drew 1, and lost 1.
Jesse Lingard, who has started to show his 'class' in earnest, is now determined to lead Seoul to the upper ranks with two consecutive goals.
A Seoul official said, "Lingard only looked happy after scoring in front of the fans, but after the game, he seemed to be dissatisfied.
His body has definitely gotten better, and his desire to score is growing."
Seoul, which was in the lower ranks at the beginning of the season, is no longer there.
Seoul is planning to compete in the Final A (1st to 6th place) while humming along to Lingard's cheerful whistle.
On the other hand, Ulsan's situation is the worst.
With Hong Myung-bo being appointed as the next head coach of the Korean national football team, Ulsan suddenly lost its captain.
In the home game against Gwangju FC held on the 10th, in the midst of a depressed team atmosphere, Ulsan supporters booed and hung banners criticizing Coach Hong for deciding to leave the team.
They also lost 0-1.
Ulsan (39 points) in 3rd place has not won in the last 3 games with 1 draw and 2 losses.
The competition for the top spot is fierce with 1st place Pohang Steelers (41 points), 2nd place Gimcheon Sangmu (40 points), 4th place Gangwon, and 5th place Suwon FC (both 37 points).
Ulsan, which needs a rebound, desperately needs a win in the Seoul match.
