 Edu's audacious chip had handed 2006 winners Jeonbuk the lead after 21 minutes.



Former champions Jeonbuk Motors maintained an unbeaten record in the AFC Champions League this season as second half goals from Han Kyo-won, Lee Jae-sung and Leonardo secured an eye-catching 4-1 away win over China's Shandong Luneng on Tuesday.

Edu's audacious first half chip had handed 2006 winners Jeonbuk the lead after 21 minutes only for Shandong's Yang Xu to level the scores with his third goal in two games just before the hour mark.

With Han, Lee and Leonardo netting inside the final 20 minutes, K-League Classic champions Jeonbuk added to last week's goalless draw with Japan's Kashiwa Reysol in Group E.

Chinese FA Cup winners Shandong, meanwhile, were unable to add to their opening day 3-2 win over Vietnam champions Binh Duong, as goalscorer Yang was dismissed for trying to score with his hand with just over 10 minutes remaining.

Buriram United stun Guangzhou R&F

A spectacular overhead kick from striker Gilberto Macena gave Buriram United a last minute winner over Guangzhou R&F as the Thai champions defeated their Chinese hosts 2-1 to go top of Group F on Tuesday.

Lu Lin had put the home side in front in the southern Chinese city after 26 minutes but Korea Republic midfielder Ko Seul-ki was on target two minutes before the break to tie the scores.

With both sides having won on Matchday One, it looked likely they would continue to share top spot into the third Matchday, but Brazilian Gilberto Macena's dramatic intervention at the death ensured it is Buriram who lead the group with two consecutive victories.
