The match loomed as a heavyweight battle between the top two teams in Group E, but Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors brushed aside their Chinese opponents in comprehensive fashion. TOO HOT TO HANDLE Kim Shin-wook’s size and aerial presence caused a constant threat throughout the night for the Tianjin Quanjian defence. His opening goal came via a header, and came just minutes after he had a goal disallowed – also a header – for offside. His aerial threat meant the home side’s wingers and midfielders could whip the ball in from wide areas confident that their man would get on the end of it. In total the target man managed five shots, four of which were on target, as shown on his shooting map below.
