JEONBUK Motors fought back to claim an impressive 3-2 away win over Saudi Arabia's al-Ittihad in an Asian Champions League semifinal first leg on Wednesday full of attacking intent.
The 2006 winner bounced back from a 1-2 halftime deficit and the loss of its leading striker to end al-Ittihad's unbeaten home run in the tournament this season ahead of the second leg in South Korea next Wednesday.
Striker Naif Hazazi found the net twice for the hosts but goals from Brazilian playmaker Eninho, midfielder Son Seung-joon and defender Cho Sung-hwan sealed an impressive victory for the K-League leader in Jeddah.
Jeonbuk was dealt a big blow when the tournament's leading goalscorer Lee Dong-gook was forced off injured in the 34th minute after a heavy challenge from behind by Mishal al-Saeed.
Earlier, Qatar's al-Sadd claimed a 2-0 away win over South Korea's Suwon Bluewings in the first leg of their semifinal which was marred by an ugly brawl.
