On November 19th, Beijing time, in the first match of the AFC Champions League group match, Shanghai SIPG played against Sydney FC. In the end, after losing 1 goal first, with 2 headers from Li Shenglong, Shanghai SIPG reversed 2-1 opponent.
As a result of returning to the national team to participate in the European League, Anautovic failed to play this game, while Oscar was not on the squad due to injuries. After two foreign players were missing, Shanghai SIPG’s strength was greatly affected. Worse still, the game only started 8 minutes, and they lost the ball early because of their mistakes.
At that time, the Sydney FC goalkeeper kicked the ball and counterattacked. As a result, the two forwards simply cooperated in the frontcourt and tore the defense of Shanghai SIPG. In the end, Buhajar scored a goal. This goal also hit Shanghai. Hong Kong was caught off guard, making many fans sweat for them.
Fortunately, after losing the ball, Shanghai SIPG gradually entered the state. In the 63rd minute of the second half, after the bald Muy took the ball from the right, he sent a wonderful pass. This pass passed all the opponent's defenders, and finally Li Shenglong easily reached the mid-air goal and equalized for the team.
Only 3 minutes later, Mu Yi sent a cross again, and Li Shenglong almost scored again. Unfortunately, after the ball was thrown by the opponent's goalkeeper, Li Shenglong could not touch it, otherwise it would be another goal.
In the 79th minute, the score was rewritten again. This time it was Li Shenglong who scored again. His brilliant header finally hit the post and bounced into the gate. This goal also helped Shanghai SIPG reverse 2-1 and scored a good start in the group stage. .
It is worth mentioning that, together with the previous Chinese Super League, this is also the first victory of Shanghai SIPG in the past 8 games, which is definitely a good phenomenon. In this group, in addition to these two teams, there are two major rivals, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Yokohama Mariners. It can be said that this is a veritable death group. Now Shanghai SIPG has been promoted to the group after it has scored 3 points from its opponents. Second, I have to say that this victory is absolutely significant, and the two giants of Japan and South Korea will die next. As long as Shanghai SIPG plays 45 minutes later, there is a chance to qualify!
