Ulsan in driving seat

25 October 2012-PA Sport

Republic Korea side Ulsan Hyundai took control of the AFC Champions League semi-final against Bunyodkor Tashkent by winning the first leg 3-1 in Uzbekistan.

Things looked bright for the home side when Jovlon Ibrokhimov gave it a sixth-minute lead at JAR Stadium, finishing first time after Jan Kozak pulled the ball back.

But Rafinha's shot from the edge of the area beat home keeper Ignatiy Nesterov at his near post on the half-hour to leave the scores level at the interval and Ulsan struck twice more in the second half, both from set-pieces by Kim Seung-yong.

The midfielder's 53rd-minute corner was headed in at the near post by Kim Shin-wook and 19 minutes later, Lee Keun-ho glanced a free kick over the head of Nesterov to give the Tigers a two-goal lead to take into next week's return leg.
