Bunyodkor books place in ACL play-offs
Bunyodkor books place in ACL play-offs
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) --
Uzbekistan champions Bunyodkor advanced to the last 16 of the AFC Champions League for the fifth consecutive season ahead of former champions Pohang Steelers after Anvar Gafurov's strike at the start of the second half proved the difference between the two sides on Wednesday.
Bunyodkor knew they had to claim a third win of the campaign to overhaul Pohang's two-point advantage and Gafurov's 48th minute goal at Jar Stadium was enough to end the hopes of the three-time Asian club champions.
And after securing a second-place finish behind Australia's Adelaide United in Group E, Bunyodkor will face 2010 AFC Champions League winners Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in the one-off Round of 16 on May 29 after the K-League side won Group G with an unbeaten record.
