Pohang Steelers and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors both won yesterday to give South Korea three teams in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League.

Pohang, going for a record fourth continental championship, advanced with a 1-0 win at Japanese club Cerezo Osaka. Lee Seung-mo scored the only goal in the 25th minute. “Both teams played well and both teams had chances,” Pohang coach Kim Ki-dong said. “We came under pressure early in the game but we recovered and we are delighted with the win.” Two-time champion Jeonbuk defeated Thai club BG Pathum United 4-2 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw. Brazilian striker Gustavo headed Jeonbuk into the lead at the end of the first half but Teerasil Dangda equalized in the 76th. South Korean club Ulsan Hyundai has also earned a spot in the quarterfinals. Japan’s Nagoya Grampus completes the line-up for the eastern half of the competition while in the west Saudi Arabian duo al-Hilal and al-Nassr have advanced alongside Iran’s Persepolis and al-Wahda from the United Arab Emirates. The draw for the quarterfinals, to be played on October 16 and 17, will be made tomorrow.
