Xinhua,March 06, 2018 Adjust font size:

  BEIJING,March 6 (Xinhua) -- The new-comer of AFC Champions League Tianjin Quanjian conceded their first defeat in the campaign in the third round of Group E as Zhang Cheng's stunner gave Quanjian a shock lead but Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC fought back for a 6-3 victory.

   Jeonbuk Hyundai had the more aggressive start but Quanjian scored first against the run of play as Pato's corner was not cleared far enough, Zhang Cheng followed to hit a missile from outside of the box on 10 minute.

   Jeonbuk Hyundai's striker Kim Shin Wook had the ball in the net but was correctly flagged offside. But the home side got back on level terms on 24 minute when Lee Yong's pass from right flank found Kim Shin Wook who outjumped Sun Ke and beat Quanjian's goalkeeper Zhang Lu with a twisting header.

   Quanjian should've restored the lead but Anthony Modeste's header in a good position was wide of the post.

  Jeonbuk Hyundai completed the turnaround on 42nd minute as Lee Jae Sung set up for Han Kyo Won's another header.

   Jeonbuk Hyundai embellished the lead 11 minutes after the break when Han Kyo Won burst down the right and pulled back from the by-line, Ricardo Lopes drilled home in the box.

   Kim Shin Wook quickly added the fourth 4 minutes later as he shinned Han Kyo Won's assist into the net.

   Kim Shin Wook rode the momentum and completed his hat-trick on 64 minute when Kim Jin Su ran on to a back-heeled pass and squared into the box for unmarked Kim Shin Wook to tap in at the back post.

   Jeonbuk Hyundai were on target again when Choi Bo Kyung fired in a corner kick.

   The 6 goals didn't drain the belief out of Quanjian as they pulled two goals back with Zhao Xuri's header and Pato's penalty.  Enditem
