Taishan was stunned! Yokohama sailors were disabled, and a big war broke out: the Thai Super League broke out, and the magic was absolutely flat!
The AFC Champions League quarter-knockout rounds continue as Thai Super League powerhouse Bangkok United take on J-League powerhouse Yokohama Marinos. The whole game, the competition between the two teams was very fierce, the strength of the Yokohama Mariner scored 2 goals in 5 minutes, I thought the overall situation had been decided, but in the second half did not admit defeat Bangkok United opened a strong counterattack, the wave of attacks wave after wave, relying on Ed's magical header in stoppage time, Bangkok United drew the powerful Yokohama Mariner.
The Yokohama Mariners drew the Bangkok United, and everyone thought it was a sign. And in the group stage, the powerful Shandong Taishan lost to the opponent in two legs. So what can the average Bangkok United team do to compete with the Yokohama Mariners? I didn't expect the performance of the Bangkok United team in this game to be so admirable. For nearly 20 minutes in the second half, besieging the opponent's penalty area, Yokohama Mariner couldn't even pass half time. In stoppage time, even if he was seriously overdrawn, he relied on strong perseverance to score the crucial goal. And at the last moment, the mentality of the Yokohama Mariner was completely unbalanced, and Matsubara Kenfei kicked the opponent and sent a direct red card, which can be described as a "loss" and a loss for the Yokohama Mariner.
After the opening, the two teams did not play conservatively, and the fast-paced transition between attack and defense made the fans very enjoyable. Although the strength of Bangkok United on paper is not as good as that of Yokohama Mariners, the momentum of the home battle is not weak, and the role of the striker Mota is obvious, coupled with the high-intensity pressing in the frontcourt, it creates a greater threat to the Yokohama Mariner defense. On the right side of Bangkok United, Ryola and the middle of the field continued to cooperate in small areas, making Kato Lian's defense very difficult. After 15 minutes of quick confrontation, the two teams gradually entered the stalemate stage.
In the 19th minute, an unexpected scene appeared, Yokohama Mariner took advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick, and Elbe's outside instep stabbed the goal in the chaotic battle! Only 5 minutes later, Yokohama Mariner made a comeback, Nam Tae-hee took the ball all the way to the bottom line, and crossed to the middle of the penalty area, followed by Watanabe Haota to expand the score.
Bangkok United, who were 2 goals behind, had no way out, and the two full-backs pressed with all their might, while the Yokohama Mariners' defensive counterattack was more calm, constantly hitting the gaps behind the opponent's two full-backs. In the 35th minute, the two defenders on the right side of the Bangkok United team launched an attack, Longla took the ball to open the gap, and the right fullback Netibang burst into the penalty area and scored hard!
Throughout the first half, both teams played unconservatively, maintaining a high-intensity confrontation while not having too many rough fouls. Although Bangkok United were not favored by the outside world, they played their own content at home, especially the performances of Ronla on the right and Motta in the center, which caused a headache for Yokohama Marino. However, the advantage of strength allowed Yokohama Mariners to take the lead in the score, and in just five minutes, the team used two chances to penetrate the opponent's door. However, this score is not enough to win the victory, and it is believed that after returning in the second half, Bangkok United will further strengthen the offensive and win the initiative in the score.
Coming back in the second half, neither team made any substitutions. After only three minutes of play, Yokohama Mariners made three consecutive close-range shots in front of the goal, all of which were blocked by Bangkok United's defenders! After keeping an eye on the opponent's attack, Bangkok United began to gradually stabilize the situation, using a continuous short pass to gradually penetrate the edge of the Yokohama Mariner penalty area, and create a good chance to score. Subsequently, Bangkok United took the lead in making personnel adjustments, and the offensive side made continuous adjustments, which was bound to catch up with the situation in the rear. The Yokohama Mariners saw the move and made adjustments in the midfield, the purpose of which is obvious, that is, to stabilize the current situation.
After the substitution, the offensive advantage of the Bangkok United team is very obvious, and it has formed a siege for the Yokohama Mariners for a long time. In the 73rd minute, Yokohama Mariners formed a one-handed trend, but Ryo Miyaichi pushed the shot and missed. In less than two minutes, Yokohama Mariners had two more great chances, but they were all wasted.
Trapped by the impact of physical fitness, the Bangkok United team was a little disjointed, but the whole team used the last time to fight hard to the front, in stoppage time Netibang sent a wonderful assist, Ed in the penalty area scored a wonderful header, Bangkok United miraculously drew Yokohama Mariner!
