(Reuters) - Pohang Steelers will take on Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal in next month's Asian Champions League final after defeating defending champions Ulsan Hyundai 5-4 in a penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 draw at Jeonju Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Both Pohang and Al Hilal will be looking to win Asia's premier club competition for a record fourth time when they meet in Riyadh on Nov. 23, with Leonardo Jardim's side booking their place on Tuesday with a 2-1 win over fellow Saudis Al Nassr.

Grant's header cancelled out Yun Il-lok's 52nd minute opener although the champions' hopes were upended in the 68th minute when captain Won Du-jae was sent off for a two-footed lunge on Lim Sang-hyub. Oh Se-hun put his shot on the turn wide of the target at the other end in a first half played at a slow tempo and often lacking in quality.Seol Young-woo scampered down the left before centring to Yoon Bit-garam, whose pass was fumbled by goalkeeper Lee Jun into the path of Yun and the former Montpellier forward calmly slotted in.

Won's sending off as the game entered the final quarter was to prove costly for Ulsan when, in the 89th minute, Grant levelled with a looping header that went in off the inside of Jo Hyeon-woo's post.
