Kwak completes Ulsan comeback

Ulsan: Kwak Tae-hwi struck in the last minute of Ulsan Hyundai's K-League Round 22 clash with Gwangju to give the ACL 2012 quarter-finalists' a 2-1 come-from-behind victory.


Kim Dong-sub's 36th minute effort had given the visitors a 1-0 half-time lead before Maranhao (Luis Carlos dos Santos Martins) drew Ulsan level ten minutes after the restart.

With Ulsan looking to be heading towards the sixth draw of their 2012 K-League campaign substitute Kwak scored in the 90th minute to move Ulsan back into third place with 41 points, eight less the leaders and defending champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

Ulsan, who are aiming to become the fourth successive ACL finalists from Korea after last year's runners-up Jeonbuk, Pohang Steelers and Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma - ACL champions in 2006, 2009 and 2010 respectively - take on Al Hilal in the last eight of this year's edition of Asia's premier club competition.

The first-leg of their AFC Champions League quarter-final will take place on September 19 with Ulsan hosting the two-time Asian Club Championship winners before the Saudis entertain the Koreans on October 3.
