Two goals from South Korea international Yeom Ki-hun led Suwon Bluewings into the last eight of the Asian Champions League following a 2-0 win over Japan's Nagoya Grampus on Wednesday.

Yeom struck in the 24th and 58th minutes to put the 2001 and 2002 champions into the quarterfinals, despite missing key striker Ha Tae-gyun through injury.

Nagoya recalled Australian striker Josh Kennedy from injury but Dragan Stojkovic's side could not find a way through the Suwon defense.
