Play-off: Suwon Samsung Bluewings 5-1 FLC Thanh Hoa

Suwon: Lim Sang-hyub scored one and made two as Suwon Samsung Bluewings of Korea Republic defeated Vietnam’s FLC Thanh Hoa 5-1 on Tuesday to earn their spot in the group stage of the 2018 AFC Champions League.

Both teams struggled to come to terms with the snowy conditions at Suwon World Cup Stadium, but as the half wore on Suwon adapted best and took control of the play-off match, with new signing Dejan Damjanovic rattling the crossbar.

Waguininho then missed a gilt-edged chance, but the breakthrough finally came as half-time approached when Lim found Waguininho in space in the box, and the Brazilian made no mistake from close range, before Lim doubled Suwon’s lead with the last kick of the first half.
