HONG KONG (Reuters) - Ulsan Hyundai have become known as the 'nearly men' of South Korean football over the last two seasons but on Saturday Kim Do-hoon's team can sweep aside their domestic disappointment by beating Iran's Persepolis in the Asian Champions League final.

Runners-up in the K League the last two seasons, and in the FA Cup this year, they won Asia's elite club competition in 2012 and a win at the Al Janoub Stadium would reinforce the idea that the good times are back in Ulsan.
