On the evening of April 21, Beijing time, the third round of the AFC Champions League group stage Group I began, Guangzhou Evergrande defeated South Korean team Ulsan Hyundai 0-3, suffered 9 consecutive defeats, and continued to rank at the bottom of the group with 0 points.
The first round of 0-5 defeat to Malaysian team Johor, the second round of 0-8 defeat to Japanese team Kawasaki Forward, Guangzhou Evergrande played worse than one game, not only to tie the longest consecutive defeats in the AFC Champions League, but also to create the record for the largest loss in the Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League.
Guangzhou Evergrande is the AFC Champions League 2 champions, and now the youth army cannot stand up, has no competitiveness, and can only be reduced to a boy who sends points. Ulsan Hyundai, which also won two AFC Champions League titles in this round, Guangzhou Evergrande avoided continuing to break the record of the biggest loss in the AFC Champions League of chinese Super League teams, which is the lowest goal.
In the first half, Guangzhou Evergrande played well, with only 18% possession and only two shots on goal, only 1 goal was scored by Ulsan Hyundai, playing the best first half since the start of the AFC Champions League this season, and the 21-year-old goalkeeper He Lipan performed very eye-catching.
In the second half, Guangzhou Evergrande basically continued its performance in the first half, conceded two more goals, and finally lost 0-3. This is the team's 9 consecutive AFC Champions League losses, setting a record for the longest consecutive defeats in the history of the AFC Champions League, of course we should see the improvement of the players.
Before the game, the South Korean media believed that Guangzhou Evergrande lost 0-5 to Johor Bahru in the first 2 rounds and lost 0-8 to Kawasaki Forward, as the K League leader Ulsan Hyundai must have a good performance, if there is no worse score than the winner of Guangzhou Evergrande 8 goals, then it is equal to defeat.
Now, guangzhou evergrande players with actions to punch the face of the South Korean media's bold words, can be described as defeated.
