Seoul 1 Gyeongnam 1: Ko rescues point for hosts

Ko Yo-han rescued a point for Seoul as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Gyeongnam ahead of their AFC Champions League semi-final.

Midfielder Ko struck on 76 minutes to ensure the hosts claimed a share of the spoils in their final K.League clash before next week’s Champions League last-four tie with Western Sydney Wanderers.

Seoul had Wednesday’s fixture brought forward to give them extra time to prepare for their crucial continental match, but were laboured and second-bottom Gyeongnam went ahead on the hour mark.

Jin Kyung-Sun fired his first goal of the season past Kim Yong-dae to put the visitors on course for a shock victory.

However, Seoul – who went into the game on a 12-game unbeaten run – rallied.

Ko spared their blushes, and Choi Yong-Soo’s men can now look forward to next Wednesday’s Champions League tie.
