Sydney’s HISTORIC run continues! ｜ Jeonbuk Hyundai (KOR) - Sydney FC (AUS) ｜ Highlights ｜ ACL Two

The last of the AFC Champions League two-quarter finals gets going in the Korea Republic as Jeonbuk face A-League side Sydney FC at the Yongin Miraeu Stadium. Jeonbuk came through their Round of 16 tie against Port FC with a resounding 5-0 aggregate scoreline. Andrea Compagno starts up front again, having found the net twice in that round, but never lost to Sydney in four previous meetings. Sydney FC themselves also scored five times in the Round of 16, but they needed extra time to edge past a resilient Bangkok United by five goals to four. Match winner Douglas Costa starts up front for the guests. It's out towards Kim Tae-hwan for Jeonbuk. What can he do from the right side? That's a good-looking ball into the middle, and the header from Jeon Jin-woo straight towards Harrison Devenish-Mears in the Sydney FC goal. A comfortable stop in the end for the visiting keeper. Casares has space for Sydney FC, sends it long, bouncing over the top. It will fall down nicely for the number nine, and Patrik Klimala puts it away with an emphatic finish. The visitors hit the front, the on-load Polish forward finding just the right finish into the roof of the net. He watched it down and hit it on the bounce. A beautiful finish for 1-0. That's intercepted by Sydney, and they'll push forward again. Joe Lolli curls the ball around towards Klimala. He could be in again. Klimala from the angle. He'll have a second bite at the cherry. Song with a tremendous double save. It could have been 2-0 just a couple of minutes after Sydney opened the scoring. Out to the left go Jeonbuk, Song Min-kyu might have a chance to send something into the middle, and he can. He's seen Campagnos there. The keeper did really well to get down to that. Harrison Devenish-Meyers with an important save to keep this at 1-0 Sydney. Jeonbuk will trail at half-time, they've got work to do on home turf. Jeonbuk will pick it up on the right-hand side again, passing it around patiently. Can they find a route towards goal? Lee Yong-jae, Lee Yong-jae has a look himself. Wide it goes, it was Alex Grant in the defence with perhaps an important touch there to take that away from the target. Jeonbuk have the corner at least. Lee Yong-jae gets it in, Campagnos again going close to the equaliser. He's so good in the air, Campagnos. A good start to the second half for Jeonbuk, but it's off the bar and over the top. It's given away, Sydney will have it back inside their own half. They can get across the halfway line. Leo Sena finds Patrick Klimelaar, they keep standing off him. And that is the cost that they will pay. Too easy for Sydney FC, nobody confronted Klimelaar. And he just took aim towards the bottom left, 2-0 Sydney FC. Ball across is headed away, Jeonbuk still looking for something in this game. Kim Jin-gyu curling it towards the target. It was just wide in the end. They've had plenty of shots, but they just haven't been able to get enough on the goal. Two-time Asian champions Jeonbuk in real trouble in this tie. The home defeat leaves them with it all to do next week in the second leg. Sydney FC have set themselves up nicely for the home fixture with a 2-0 win thanks to a double from Patrick Klimelaar.
