Lee Dong-gook’s four goals guided Jeonbuk Motors past Cerezo Osaka 6-1 into the Asian Champions League semifinals, where it will play Al Ittihad after it advanced despite a 1-0 loss at FC Seoul on Tuesday.

Mauricio Molina’s late goal wasn’t enough for Seoul as Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad advanced from the quarterfinal stage 3-2 on aggregate.

Osaka won the first leg of its quarterfinal 4-3 but lost that advantage in the 31st minute after Eninho scored for Jeonbuk. (AP)
