AFC Champions League Review: Jeonbuk earn advantage, Al Nasr in rout

Jeonbuk Motors snatched a slender advantage after Leonardo's brilliant free-kick secured a 1-1 draw away to Melbourne Victory in the AFC Champions League round of 16.

A-League side Victory, making their first appearance in the last 16, took the lead through Besart Berisha inside the first five minutes at AAMI Park on Tuesday.

Mizunuma drilled in a deflected free-kick to cap the home side's dominance just before half-time, but Wu Lei equalised 10 minutes after the break for Sven-Goran Eriksson's men.

Tokyo regained their lead when Mizunuma volleyed in Yuhei Tokunaga's cross, and the home side held on to secure a lead to take back to China.
