Lee strike steers Pohang Steelers into AFC Champions League quarter-finals

Osaka: Lee Seung-mo’s close range strike took Pohang Steelers into the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League for the first time in seven years as Kim Gi-dong’s side handed Cerezo Osaka a 1-0 defeat at Nagai Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Lee pounced to stab the ball in after Sin Jin-ho’s corner had been directed into his path by Jeon Min-kwang and the striker made no mistake, silencing the home fans and keeping Pohang’s hopes of a record fourth continental title on track.
