ADDS quotes, match details
Ulsan Hyundai Motors won the Asian Champions League for the second time in history after a Junior Negrao double gave them a 2-1 victory over Iran’s Persepolis on Saturday.
The South Korean giants also achieved the feat in record fashion, winning their ninth consecutive match in the tournament to equal their winning streak of 2012 when they won the title for the first time.
But this time they were even more emphatic, scoring at least two goals in each match on their way to the title, an unprecedented achievement in the tournament.
Persepolis missed out on the Asian crown for the second time in three years, having lost to Japan’s Kashima Antlers in the final in 2018.
