Soccer-Jeonbuk's record run ended by Dragons

SEOUL, April 26 (Reuters) - Jeonnam Dragons continued their mastery of Jeonbuk Motors by handing the league leaders a 2-1 defeat on Sunday to snap the longest unbeaten run in South Korean football at 22 matches.

Midfielder Lee Chang-min scored both goals for the Dragons, who were the last side to beat Jeonbuk domestically in August.

Choi Kang-Hee's side had racked up 17 wins and five draws since to set the longest unbeaten streak in the league's 32-year history.

It was a second defeat in a week for the defending champions after they were beaten 3-2 by Japanese outfit Kashiwa Reysol in the AFC Champions League in midweek.
