Pohang Steelers Capture Semifinal Opener

The semifinal round of the AFC Champions League commenced on Wednesday.

At Pohang, South Korea:

Hwang Jae-Won (45'+2) and Kim Jae-Sung (79') each scored once as the Pohang Steelers took the opening match of their two-game semifinal series with Umm-Salal 2-0 at home.

At Jeddah, Saudi Arabia:

Japan's Nagoya Grampus visited Al-Ittihad in match one of their two-game series----and got blown out 6-2---and this after leading 2-1 at halftime. Mohammed Noor's second-half hat trick (65', 76', 90'+1) was part of a five-goal second half barrage by the hosts.
