Soccer-Jeonbuk motor to another win in Korea

SEOUL, May 11 (Reuters) - Korean juggernauts Jeonbuk Motors moved eight points clear at the top of the K League Classic at the weekend after a 2-1 win over Ulsan.

The defending champions have now won eight of their 10 league games so far this season and are threatening to run away with their fourth title in seven years.

With national coach Uli Stielike watching from the stands, Lee Dong-guk opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 64th minute at Ulsan's Munsu Stadium but the Tigers equalised through midfielder Chikashi Masuda two minutes later.

Ulsan fans barely had time to celebrate when Jeonbuk went back in front through Edu in the 68th minute.
