FC Seoul knocks out Al Ahli

A last-gasp goal sent South Korean champions FC Seoul into their first AFC Champions League semifinal yesterday but there was heartbreak for plucky Thai outfit Buriram United.

Striker Dejan Damjanovic’s 89th-minute strike was enough to settle a scrappy 1-0 win for FC Seoul over Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli for a 2-1 victory on aggregate. Meanwhile Buriram sent their fans into a frenzy at a packed Thunder Castle Stadium when Spanish defender Osmar Barba scored in the first half against Esteghlal, leveling the tie at 1-1 after last month’s 1-0 loss. But Hanif Omranzadeh nodded home a far-post header to put Esteghlal back on top, before Andranik Teymourian made it 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate with a thunderbolt in stoppage time.
