The South Korean N-League side dominated the first 15 minutes but went 2-0 down inside one minute before schoolboy-like goalkeeping by Tariq allowed the visitors come back and secure a 3-2 win before halftime.

The home side, playing their last preparation match ahead of Wednesday's home Olympic pre-qualifier against Hong Kong, began cautiously but capitalised on a defensive error to take the lead in the 16th minute against run of play.

Ulsan right fullback Lee Dong-jun attempted a backpass towards their goalkeeper but Bangladesh international Zahid Hossain Emily intercepted the ball inside the area and effortlessly toe-poked over the head of onrushing Yang Ji-won into the far post.

Abu Yusuf's boys enthralled the 4,000-strong crowd on a foggy evening when Emily sliced the rival defence with a neat through for Zahid Parvez who placed the ball past Yang for the their second goal in the very next minute.

The celebration of the national Under-23 team was short lived as Tariq's gaffe saw Korean striker Kim Young-hoo reduce the arrears in the 20th minute. Tariq chose not to handle a long pass but fumbled while trying to receive it with his feet. The ball ran out of the area and when the goaltender got it inside, he slipped to lose possession and Kim made no mistake to utilise the gift.

Four minutes later, Tariq left his post to intercept a long through by rival fullback Lee but neither used his hands nor the feet on the edge of the penalty area as midfielder Sung Seong-pyo latched the ball well before placing it home to make it 2-2.

The hosts could not put enough men into attack as the defence was not very supportive apart from captain and left fullback Waly Faisal, who was impressive throughout. The lack of support forced the midfielders to play from a behindhand line, which also cut the pipeline to the forwards.

The local boys, however, created a golden chance to regain the lead just one minute before the short whistle but Emily, who found the ball in the rival box after a combined move, shot wide of the lone keeper much to the frustration of the fans.

The Koreans sealed the victory in the first-half injury time when midfielder Lee Hyun rose high above the opposition backline to nod home a right-flank corner by captain Jung Jae-suk, giving Tariq no chance to react to the powerful header.

Ulsan, who leave Dhaka tomorrow in the middle of their pre-season preparation tour, changed their entire eleven in the second half and it was hard to see any difference between the two set-ups.

Yusuf brought a few changes including the goalkeeper, replacing Tariq with Himel who was beaten twice ten minutes from time. But Aurup made a goalline save on Jung Min-mu's close-range tap before Lee Dong-keun rattled the crossbar from 25 yards.
