I was gonna be at this game, before covid. :(

Big night for Nishikawa, Traore suspended:

I’m expecting Victory to win given how poor Chiangrai were in the first encounter between the two sides.

Their gun striker Bill scored a brace a few days ago but look pretty inept in the first game between the sides tbh

Beijing up 2-0 against Seoul in the 85th minute, great news for Victory.

Assuming Beijing doesn't lose to Chiangrai in their final match, that means a win and a draw in our last two games will be sufficient to progress.

FT 3-1 for Beijing against Seoul.

An 89th minute goal for Seoul had me worried, but Beijing replied a minute later.

The fact this game is on a midnight is testament to the quality of this competition 

quality is good，better than most of J-league and CSL ganes

Hope to wake up to an Australian win 

Ulsan Hyundai confirmed as first place in Group F and as such will be our competition should we qualify to the Ro16.

In 2018 against the same opposition we conceded three goals in a draw at home and got done 6-2 away.

Victory could draw tonight and still qualify as long as we beat Seoul, unless Chiangrai somehow beat Beijing in the last game (which would be a dead rubber for the latter team).

If we won this match and drew against Seoul however it would be Seoul that would progress, so either way you cut it we have to beat Seoul.

Fuck yeah, well won Brimmer.

Brimmer did well to win the pen. And he converts.
1-0 Victory

And a well taken pen.

Nishikawa looks nervous, hopefully he grows into the game.

He's the best Japanese player in Group E.

You love to see it.

Saucy finish from big Folami!

A 21 year old Australian with some finishing instinct, a rare thing. Hopefully the start of a big year for him.

Storm FFS.

what's that got to do with the price of fish???? Like the UCL they schedule early and late games.  Also did you forget its in Qatar where its not midnight 

I shouldn't have chuckled at that goalkeeper error but I did.

It's only the East zone playing, I'm confused as to why they didn't have the teams play a little earlier to suit their home country's time zones. This is the only time of the year in Qatar when that is possible due to the heat.

Chuckle rights for Sydney fans during this ACL campaign are well and truly revoked.

Terrible keeping though. Probably wants to be home for xmas.

Macnanaman tekkers.

You could just watch that last minute of football and you'll have seen our entire ACL experience as a club.

Fucking up a golden opportunity then letting in a soft goal due to a defensive lapse to throw away the game.

Win or draw today we still need to beat Seoul regardless, but those lapses were very concerning.

Acton flapping doesn't bode well for him. He waited a long time for the right to be no 1. He needed to be careful or pisser will get the nod

A win would've been nice for Australia's AFC coefficient, but ultimately our coefficient score is gonna take a massive battering after this ACL campaign.

Separately - I know he's still quite young, but has Lawrie-Lattanzio really done anything to justify him starting ahead of Kamsoba and Iannucci?  

I believe that 2020 results won't count for the rankings due to the cancellation of the AFC Cup.

Has there ever been a 12am game local time for a club in the UCL? or Europa league? 

Even the other confederations like South America etc 

i dont see Liverpool playing Ajax at midnight local time? - they make it 'suitable' for both fans 

As for the World cup that isnt club football it is a different kettle of fish. - as it is a world competition you expect 'someone' to not be happy with the kick off times. A confederation based competition should aim to appease both fans...

Absolute joke this was on at midnight AEST when an Australian side was playing - keep in mind this game kicked off at 8pm Thia local time they could of easily had the game kick off 2-3 hours earlier to appease both sets of fans.

Anyway Good on Victory getting a point i dont see us beating Seoul as they pumped these guys 5-0
