Diskerud’s goal sends Ulsan Hyundai into AFC Champions League round of 16

Mix Diskerud’s 59th-minute goal for Ulsan Hyundai on Tuesday morning allowed the South Korean side to win its AFC Champions League group with one game to spare.

Diskerud found the back of the net on a cheeky backheel in the middle of a crowded penalty area to power Ulsan Hyundai past Australian side Sydney FC.
