Tonight, the final round of the AFC Champions League group stage starts: Shanghai Shenhua vs Ulsan Hyundai. In the first half, the South Korean team scored two goals in 21 minutes; in the second half, Bi Jinhao pulled back a goal, the opponent cheated a penalty and hit it, and conceded another one in 90 minutes. In the end, Shenhua lost 1-4 and did not qualify.
Prior to this match, the AFC Champions League Group F had 13 points for Ulsan Hyundai, 7 points for Tokyo and Shenhua and 1 point for Perth Glory. Four teams play in the final round, playing at the same time.
The match lasted only 3 minutes when Park Jeong-in fired a cold arrow to give Ulsan Hyundai a lead.
In the 24th minute, Li Shangxian extended the lead again for the team.
Throughout the first half, Shenhua was unusually passive, and the players' physical strength was seriously affected. Half-time end, 0-2. And in the other game, Tokyo led Perth Glory 1-0. I thought that with a gap of 4 goals in the half (Tokyo had one more goal difference than Shenhua), Shenhua would give up. Unexpectedly, the second half of the storm suddenly changed.
Cui Kangxi replaced Qin Sheng and Feng Xiaoting with Moreno and Wang Wei in the half. In the 60th minute, Moreno broke through the bottom line and crossed the middle road, and Bi Jinhao scored the ball.
After scoring a goal, Bi Jinhao did not celebrate at the first time, but quickly took the ball in his arms and ran towards the center circle. Because he knows that time is now Shenhua's biggest enemy. This scene is indeed touching.
In the 64th minute, Choi Kang-hee replaced Bi Jinhao, who was physically exhausted, with Kim Shin-woo. After that, he replaced Yu Hanchao, who was injured, with Liu Ruovan. In the 74th minute, the opponent faked a cheating point, but unfortunately there was no VAR, and Johansson scored the ball.
In 90 minutes, Johansson scored twice. 1-4, Shenhua lost. In the other match, Tokyo won 1-0. Shenhua, stopped in the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League. Although it was eliminated, Shenhua's performance in this year's AFC Champions League won respect. In the absence of a major general, the spirit of the Chinese Super League was demonstrated. It is believed that under the rule of Choi Kang-hee, Shenhua will appear again in the AFC Champions League. At that time, we may see a more powerful Shenhua.
