Guangzhou stumbles in ACL with Kawasaki draw
Print Edition
BIG-SPENDING Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande had to settle for its third draw in four AFC Champions League matches, playing a scoreless match at Japanese club Kawasaki Frontale yesterday.
Guangzhou, coached by Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, has won only once in Group G and sits in second place behind Suwon Bluewings. Only the top two teams advance to the knockout stage.
Brazil international Paulinho went closest for Guangzhou, the 2013 and 2015 continental champion.
Suwon moved into first place in the group by beating Hong Kong club Eastern SC 5-0. The South Korean team leads the group with eight points, two more than Guangzhou with two games remaining.
Eastern has just 1 point in its first ACL campaign and must now win at home to Evergrande on the same night and hope other results go its way to stay alive.
Brisbane Roar recorded its first win in Group E, defeating Japan’s Kashima Antlers 2-1 in Australia. Jamie Maclaren scored in the first half for Brisbane, with Brett Holman extending the lead four minutes after the restart.
It was Brisbane’s first win of the campaign and took its points tally to four, just two behind group leader Kashima.
