HONG KONG (Reuters) - Former Brazil midfielder Oscar scored the winning penalty in a shootout as Shanghai SIPG knocked twice winners Jeonbuk Motors out of the Asian Champions League on Wednesday.
The Chinese Super League side were joined in the quarter-finals by Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds, who won the title in 2007 and 2017, after they beat South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai 3-0 to secure a 4-2 aggregate win.
"I'm very satisfied that we have made it to the next round, so we can relax a little bit," said Urawa coach Tsuyoshi Otsuki who took over last month from Oswaldo Oliveira. Kim's goal gave Jeonbuk a 2-1 aggregate lead following the 1-1 draw in Shanghai last week, but with former Porto striker Hulk in inspired form SIPG were never likely to go without scoring.
Shanghai goalkeeper Yan Junling saved Lee Dong-gook's penalty and, with the visitors perfect from the spot, Oscar netted to secure a 5-3 shootout win for Vitor Pereira's side.
