Soccer-Hwang's late brace for Seongnam halts Jeonbuk's run

SEOUL, May 31 (Reuters) - Hwang Ui-Jo scored a late brace as Seongnam FC came from behind to put an end to leaders Jeonbuk Motors's winning run with a 2-1 victory at home in South Korea's top flight on Sunday.

Yoo Chang-hoon opened the scoring for Jeonbuk five minutes after the break and the defending champions appeared headed for their fifth straight victory in the K-League Classic.

The 22-year-old Hwang equalised in the 80th minute and then netted the winner five minutes later to ensure a fourth win for Seongnam, who are unbeaten in their last nine league matches.
