Buriram’s Jakkaphan Kaewprom nearly stunned Jeonbuk fans in the 45th. Following a headed pass by Edgar Silva, he took the ball and fired a right-footed strike, but his attempt hit the post. Jeonbuk kept knocking on the doors of Buriram early second half, but couldn’t find the back of the net. Lopes and Lee Seung-gi fired shots in the 50th and 52th, respectively, but both attempts couldn’t get past Sivarak. In the 67th, Jeonbuk replaced Lee Seung-gi for Lee Dong-gook, the AFC’s all-time leading scorer, to beef up their attack. In the 77th, Kim met Choi Chul-soon’s fine cross, but his close-range header was somehow saved by Sivarak. In the 81st, Lopes fired a right-footed strike following a pass from Lee Dong-gook that went for a corner. Jeonbuk finally earned their second goal in the 84th to seal their victory. Lee Jae-sung’s curling left-footed free kick sailed over the wall and found the net, with Sivarak left helpless. Jeonbuk head coach Choi said his side had confidence they could reach the quarterfinals even with a 3-2 deficit from the first leg. “We were confident that we could make a turnaround at home even though we lost in the first leg,” he said. “Today’s match was a match where the players’ mentality really mattered.” Choi said he doesn’t care what team they will face in the next round. “What’s important is that we need to be prepared and build our teamwork,” he said. “For important matches, our concentration level gets high, so I’m not worried about the quarterfinals or the semifinals.”
