In this tense and exciting match, Kofu-Fenglin is heading into the group stage with a clean sheet at home, while Melbourne City has won both of its away matches and is not to be underestimated.
Who would have thought that this is only a sub-league team that can top Group H. This is certainly a great affirmation of the team's strength and tactical execution. Their passing skills are superb, their tactics are well executed, and their home AFC Champions League matches are particularly impressive.
Peter Udaka, 39, scored his first goal of the AFC Champions League season in Kofu Fung Lam's 4-1 win over FC Zhejiang, and even at his advanced age, he is still a stalwart of the team. As a seasoned veteran, Peter Udaka knows how to be at his best in the AFC Champions League, knowing how to preserve his stamina while playing smart in the game.
Due to Kofu Fung Lam's previous need to push for promotion to the Nippon Professional League, they didn't send their strongest team to every match in the AFC Champions League. Now that the Nippon B League has come to an end, the team's most creative player, Motoki Hasegawa, is expected to make his debut in the AFC Cup.
Despite Melbourne City's unexpected home defeat in the last round of the group stage, they are still in a clear position to qualify, and are surprisingly good on the road.
The team's main striker Jimmy McCarron has been in great form lately, scoring goals and wearing a cap in the national team match, and he is expected to break through again if his teammates can create chances for him. As a result, players with great creativity such as Malenka Golis and Ham Sasaki will play a key role in creating scoring chances for the team.
