I can think that Evergrande will concede goals, but I didn't expect them to concede the ball so early, and I didn't expect that the goalkeeper would have a super butter hand, which is a suicide mistake. Less than 15 minutes after the opening, Evergrande fell behind 0-2 and fell into a desperate situation early.
The first match of AFC Champions League Group I was played by Evergrande (Guangzhou team) against Johor Bahru. As the eight-time winner of the Malaysian league, Johor has been in good shape this season, winning five consecutive games in all competitions and four consecutive league wins. Compared with the Johor team, Evergrande, which is dominated by young players, is not only inferior to its opponents, but also far inferior in competitive status, because this campaign is also their first game of the season.
In terms of lineup, Evergrande sent a 541 defensive lineup in this game, goalkeeper He Lipan, defenders Wang Tianqing, Peng Jiahao, Guan Haojin, Feng Yifan, Fan Ruiwei, midfielders Ye Runbiao, Chen Zhengfeng, Yang Xin, Ning Haoxu, and Shao Lin. It is worth mentioning that Ning Haoxu scored his first goal in the group stage last season, which was also the only goal of Evergrande's AFC Champions League last season.
At the beginning of the game, Evergrande exposed the lack of strength and was quickly controlled by the opponent. In the 4th minute, a long-range shot from outside the perimeter of the opposing foreign aid Fazail tested Evergrande goalkeeper He Lipan, who fell to the ground and easily confiscated the ball.
In the 8th minute, johor broke through the bottom cross from the right and was released from the bottom line by a Evergrande defender. A minute later, the opponent's cross from the left was met by Bergson, who jumped high in the middle and headed the ball into the dead corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper did not react. Unfortunately, in the process of this defense, Evergrande's 3 central defenders were seriously leaked, and none of the players were close to defend Bergson, allowing the latter to easily break the goal. 0-1, Evergrande fell behind early.
In the 12th minute, After Receiving the ball in the Velázquez penalty area, goalkeeper He Lipan made a save at the first time and saved the ball into the air, but then he made an amateur mistake, did not receive the ball, and the ball fell on his feet and bounced into the goal. Super butter hand, it is difficult to imagine that He Lipan would make such a mistake in such a crucial game, it really should not be. After losing this goal, He Lipan was a little afraid to imagine and helplessly held his head.
