Matchday Six - Group G: Buriram United seal second spot

Jeju: A second-half goal from Korrakot Wiriyaudomsiri put Buriram United through to the last 16 of the 2018 AFC Champions League as the Thai champions took second spot in Group G with a 1-0 win at Jeju United.

The victory confirmed that the Korean side would finish bottom of the group, while Buriram edged ahead of Cerezo Osaka and behind Guangzhou Evergrande.

Supachai Jaided had the first good effort for Buriram when he forced Kim Kyeong-min to push wide a powerful angled shot in the 13th minute.

Jeju then came within inches of taking the lead in the 21st minute when Magno Cruz beat the offside trap before his chip over Siwarak Tedsungnoen struck the post.

Buriram came agonisingly close in the 30th minute when Jakkaphan Kaewprom crashed in a shot that beat the goalkeeper but was headed off the line by Cho Yong-hyung.
