Viettel FC ousted from AFC Champions League by Thai opponents
VOV.VN - V-League champions Vietel FC lost their chance of entering into the knock-out stage of the 2021 AFC Champions League following their 1-3 defeat by BG Pathum United of Thailand in a Group F match on July 5.
Their 2-0 loss to BG Pathum United in the first leg match several days ago gave coach Jurgen Gede’s men an valuable lesson in this match.
Pedro Paulo footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner, scoring the opening goal for Viettel on 23 minutes.
However, everything changed too quickly after the break. Diogo of BG Pathum United made world-class performances by assisting his teammates Chaowat Weerachart and Andres Tunez to level the score and put BG Pathum United ahead.
It was Diogo again who headed from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner.
Viettel conceded three goals in just six minutes. The V-League champions’ defence line was easily defeated by the opponents’ excellent kicks and crosses.
The 1-3 defeat means Viettel are definitely eliminated from the AFC Champions League even though there are still two matches left. The V-League representatives just won three points from their victory against Kaya Iloilo of the Philippines and temporarily ranked third in Group F.
