On October 3, Beijing time, the focus was on the dynamics of our soccer and sports world. On the night of the same day, China's soccer world witnessed two key matchups. China's women's soccer team challenged Japan's women's soccer team at the Asian Games, while Shandong Taishan started a fierce battle with Yokohama Mariners at home in the AFC Champions League. It is worth mentioning that Japanese soccer has been improving rapidly in recent years, and has already beaten strong teams such as Germany and Turkey. Yokohama Mariners are no slouches, as they won the J-League last season and are in second place this season. Taishan is currently in second place in the Chinese Super League, and this game will undoubtedly be an important matchup between the J-League and the Chinese Super League.
In the AFC Champions League, Taishan sent out their strongest lineup to play, with a starting lineup that included Wang Dalei, Wang Tong, Shi Ke, Jadason, Liu Yang, Liao Lixiang, Li Yuanyi, Moises, Fellaini, Chen Pu, and Cressan. Except for Shi Ke, the remaining 11 players are the team's starters. In the previous Super League and AFC Cup matches, the team rotated its personnel several times, and this time it finally offered its strongest lineup.
In the 22nd minute of the match, Moises made a clever pass to Chen Pu, who was offside and had a great chance to score. Unfortunately, Chen Pu missed the goal when he shot at the goal, and I have to admit that it was a pity to waste this one-shot opportunity. After all, Taishan doesn't often have such a good opportunity, and the team's best scoring opportunity is here.
The game to the 25th minute, the two teams offense and defense switch frequently, after the start of the second half, Yokohama Mariners gradually dominated the field. In the 29th minute, Yokohama player Nam Tae-hee got a single chance to break through Wang Dalei, and Shi Ke blocked it in time on the goal line. In the 40th minute, Yokohama players scored a goal with their technical advantage, scoring through a series of subtle coordination. At the end of the first half, Taishan was 0:1 behind.
In the first round of the AFC Champions League, Taesan defeated Kaya 3-1 while Incheon United beat Yokohama 4-2. In the second round, Incheon United even thrashed Kaya 4-0. Foreigner Mugosa scored two goals, while Gerso Fernandez and Hernandez also scored a goal each. After this match, Incheon United won both matches to top the group, while Kaya suffered two consecutive defeats.
Expect Taishan to continue to play in the upcoming matches and advance to the next round. What did you think of the match? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Thank you for your interest.
