Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors were crowned the 2016 AFC Champions League winners on Saturday night as a 1-1 draw with inaugural champions Al Ain earned Choi Kang-hee’s side a 3-2 aggregate victory and a place at December’s finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Han Kyo-won gave Jeonbuk the lead on the night, and extended the K League Classic side’s advantage following their 2-1 first leg win, in the 30th minute before Lee Myung-joo levelled for Al Ain four minutes later.
But a missed penalty by Brazilian striker Douglas in the dying minutes of the first half and a resolute defensive showing in the second half by the 2006 winners was enough to seal Jeonbuk a second AFC Champions League crown.
