Without suspense, Tarzan lost another game 0-5, losing to Urawa, who played on the bench. Coupled with Evergrande's 0-8 defeat to Kawasaki, Chinese football was once again humiliated on this day, becoming the worst performing country in the first two rounds of the AFC Champions League.
In the second round of the AFC Champions League Group F, Tarzan faced Japanese powerhouse Urawa. In the first round, Urawa defeated Lion City 4-1, while Tarzan lost 0-7 to Daegu. In this campaign, the Taishan team sent Yi Xianlong, Li Jingchun, Chen Zhexuan, Lu Yongtao and others to start, while Urawa made a big rotation and sent substitute players to play.
In the 25th minute, Urawa sent the ball into the penalty area, Sekine Takashi's shot was blocked, and Akimoto Kaohiro made up for it, taking the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field. Four minutes later, The Kinno penalty area knocked down the opponent while defending, the referee decisively awarded a penalty, and Skolc scored the ball in one fell swoop, 2-0. After losing the ball, Taishan goalkeeper Cao Zheng was very helpless and lay on the ground and covered his face.
In the 52nd minute, Urawa's free-kick from the left was sent to the penalty area, and Schalke received a cross from his teammate and easily pushed it through the goal. After conceding three goals in a row, Cao Zheng was furious and was clearly dissatisfied with the defensive players in front of him.
In the 75th minute, Kawasaki was given a very well-placed free-kick opportunity outside the penalty area, Schalke took the penalty, directly pulled out an arc, and hit the ball into the top right corner of the goal, goalkeeper Cao Zheng was powerless. In stoppage time, Urawa scored another goal to secure the score at 5-0. 0-5, Tarzan suffered two consecutive defeats in the AFC Champions League, not scoring a single goal so far, and conceding 12 goals in a row.
The fiascos of Evergrande and Taishan in the AFC Champions League have also set 3 humiliating records for Chinese football: 1. Evergrande and Taishan have lost the first 2 games, and they have all scored 0 goals. Among them, Evergrande conceded 13 goals and Taishan conceded 12 goals, ranking in the top two of all teams in the AFC Champions League. At present, both teams are at the bottom of the group;
2. Evergrande's 0-5 loss to Kawasaki at half-time is the record for the most goals conceded in the AFC Champions League in the past 16 years; 3. Evergrande's 0-8 loss to Kawasaki also created the biggest point difference between Chinese Super League teams losing in the AFC Champions League.
It seems that in this year's AFC Champions League, the only chinese team that can still be counted on is Jie Zhi of the Hong Kong Super League. In the previously concluded first round of matches, Jai Chi beat Thailand's Chiang Rai United 1-0 to win the first victory of the Chinese team in the AFC Champions League season. Considering that last season, with only a goal difference difference, he did not qualify, and he had excellent foreign aid such as Deyang, this season Jiezhi will undoubtedly become the standard-bearer of chinese teams in the AFC Champions League.
