Jeonbuk Motors took a big step towards the 2011 K-League title with a 2-1 victory at Ulsan Horangi in the first leg of the play-off final. Two goals from Eninho at a wet Ulsan World Cup Stadium gave the AFC Champions League runners-up a crucial advantage heading into Sunday\'s second leg at home. The Brazilian opened the scoring from the spot seven minutes into the second half. It was his delightful back-heel that freed Lee Dong-gook in the area only for Lee Jae-sung to bring down the former Middlesbrough marksman. Kwak Tae-Hwi equalised for Ulsan ten minutes later. The Korea Republic international fired home a fierce free-kick that left Kim Min-Sik stranded. With 12 minutes remaining, Eninho restored Jeonbuk\'s lead. Pouncing on a weak defensive header just inside the area, he fired an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the Ulsan goal. Jeonbuk coach Choi Kang-Hee was pleased with the result but insisted the job was far from done. \"It was a tough game away from home but as we had analysed the opposition well, we were able to get a good result,\" he said. \"Of course we have the advantage at home on Sunday but nobody knows what will happen and we will do our best to prepare for Sunday\'s match and get the win. We have to stay focused.\" Ulsan boss Kim Ho-Gon was happy with the effort shown by his players after four games in ten days. \"It was a tough situation for us but they gave their all and showed a strong will to win. It was disappointing to lose at home but we will do all we can to win on Sunday,\" he said.
