Buriram United’s brave run in the 2018 AFC Champions League came to an end on Tuesday as a 2-0 loss at Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors saw them bow out of the Round of 16 4-3 on aggregate.
Jeonbuk took the lead at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium in the 18th minute when Kim Shin-wook’s delicate cushioned header from a Lee Yong cross found Ricardo Lopes, who met it with a ferocious volley into the back of the net.

Nonetheless, the Thai League 1 champions – who had conceded two costly away goals in last week’s 3-2 first leg win – did try their best to get back into the contest.
They were unlucky not to pull level on the stroke of halftime with Jakkaphan Kaewprom being denied by the crossbar after pouncing on a loose ball inside the box and firing away a snapshot.
Edgar Silva then nodded over from a decent opening after being picked out at the back post a minute before the hour mark, before he and Diogo somehow failed to get a meaningful shot away in the 72nd minute following good work by Jakkaphan Kaewprom down the right.
Jeonbuk also had their chances to put the result beyond doubt, with Buriram keeper Siwarak Tedsungnoen producing a series of fine saves to keep the hosts – and Kim in particular – at bay.
But, with six minutes left on the clock, the K League 1 giants finally secured their passage into the quarter-finals as Lee Jae-sung lined up a freekick on the edge of the box and curled a sublime effort into the top corner.
