But the concurrent match in Japan didn’t run to script as Suwon won 1-0 on matchday six.

Ulsan Hyundai ended Melbourne Victory’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of the Asian Champions League with a record win. Melbourne Victory’s leaders have fronted up after a four-goal spanking from Ulsan Hyundai sent them packing from the AFC Champions League.

It was never going to be easy.
Victory dealt with lengthy travel, fixture congestion, missing players and woeful conditions in South Korea.
