5-star Guangzhou hammers last year's finalist Jeonbuk
CHINESE champion Guangzhou Evergrande opened its 2012 Asian Champions League campaign with a 5-1 thrashing of 2011 finalist Jeonbuk Motors in Korea yesterday.
Two goals from Brazilian striker Cleo and another from Argentine midfielder Dario Conca gave the visitors a 3-0 lead before Jeong Shung-hoon replied for the South Korean team in the 70th minute.
Conca scored his second for Guangzhou two minutes later and Brazilian forward Muriqui wrapped up a convincing Group H win in the 75th.
Liaoning is the only Chinese club to lift the trophy back in 1990 but Guangzhou is aiming to end that run.
In 2011, Guangzhou kicked off the new era in China by embarking on a massive spending spree that helped the team win the domestic title for the first time and by a margin of 15 points.
Also in Group G, Chinese side Tianjin Teda and Central Coast Mariners of Australia drew 0-0 in China.
