On April 18, Beijing time, the AFC Champions League continued, resulting in a big upset, and Daegu from South Korea lost 0-3 to Singapore's "weak brigade" Lion City sailors. In addition, The Jeonnam Dragons also lost 0-2 to Thai side Baton United. To this end, the Korean media used "shame" to describe the loss.
In the first round, Daegu beat Shandong Taishan 7-0, while the Lion City Mariners lost 1-4 to Urawa Red Diamonds. In this confrontation, Daegu against the Lion City Mariners, it seems that scoring 3 points is not a problem. However, the course of the game and the result were astounding, with the Lion City Mariners eventually beating Daegu 3-0, and Daegu core player Hong Zhe was sent off.
After the game, the South Korean media fried the pot, saying that The self-proclaimed strongest Korean football in Asia was humiliated in the AFC Champions League, the biggest stage of Asian football, and bowed its head in the face of Southeast Asian teams. Daegu lost 3-0 to Singapore's Lion City sailors, who brought in Kim Shin-woo but did not play. In this game, the performance of the South Korean team was disappointing, and Hong Zhe also fouled and stained red. South Korean media said that Daegu lost this time.
For the performance of Jeonnam Tianlong, the Korean media is also quite dissatisfied, and this round of matches with Southeast Asian teams, the Korean team is surprising, and it is at a comprehensive disadvantage, so the Korean media believes that this is the shame of the Korean Football League!
It is worth mentioning that the most miserable league in the current AFC Champions League is the Chinese Super League, but everyone has also seen that the Chinese Super League is self-abandonment, after all, it is the second team to play, so although humiliated, it still gained some understanding. The performance of the South Korean team in this round was really surprising, and it was the biggest cold goal since the beginning of the tournament, and no one in South Korea accepted it.
