AL-JANOUB STADIUM, Qatar: Ulsan Hyundai Motors won the Asian Champions League for the second time in their history on Saturday after a Junior Negrao double gave them a 2-1 victory over Iran’s Persepolis.
The South Korean club also achieved the feat in record fashion, winning their ninth consecutive match in the tournament to match 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.
Ex-Barcelona star Iniesta out for four months with thigh injury Madrid (AFP) – Former Barcelona star Andres Iniesta will be sidelined for four months after injuring his thigh while playing for Vissel Kobe in the final stages of the Asian Champions League.
Iniesta, 36, underwent successful surgery in Barcelona after tearing a tendon in his right thigh, his club said, and recovery time was expected to be four months.
The rupture occurred in last week’s quarter-final against Suwon Bluewings in Qatar which went to a penalty shootout before the Japanese side progressed.
Iniesta was absent when Vissel lost 2-1 to another South Korean side, Ulsan Hyundai Motors, in the semi-final on Sunday.
