Dalian had the upper hand as they went into the game with a total of 12 points, two more than their South Korean rivals. The Chinese club drew the first blood in the 57th minute when a perfectly weighted pass from Bulgarian midfielder Zoran Jankovic released Zou Jie and the 25-year-old rounded the out-rushing Kwoun and threaded the ball into the unguarded net from an acute angle.

    However, a determined Jeonbuk continued their offences, and midfielder Kim Hyeung-bum struck the equaliser in the 66th minute with a rasping drive that changed direction in mid-flight, deceiving the Dalian keeper.

    Fifteen minutes later and the Motors were in the driving seat when Wang Jung-hyung made it 2-1 to the home side when he took a looping cross from the right on his chest, swivelled and swept the ball into the net via the inside of the post.

    Kim Hyeung-bum came back with another goal to secure Jeonbuk's progression to the knockout stage at the expanse of Dalian, the 2003 semi-finalists
