On September 17, the second round of the quarter finals of the 2019 AFC Champions League kicked off, and Shanghai went to Hong Kong to challenge Japan's Puhe ruby. Although Yang Shiyuan was injured and left in the first half, although his opponent scored a goal first, Wang shenchao's goal helped Hong Kong equalize the score. Finally, the two teams shook hands again and made peace, but due to few away goals, it was a pity to stop in the top eight of the Asian Championship in Hong Kong.
Shanggang eliminated the Korean team Quanbei Hyundai through the penalty shoot out at the last minute in the eighth finals. In the first leg of the quarter final, Hong Kong drew 2-2 with Puhe Ruby at home, but Hulk, the core of the team, was suspended, which cast a shadow on the second round. As the FA Cup has been out, the league is only possible to win the title in theory. Therefore, the Asian Champions League has become the final support for Hong Kong to avoid "all three empty" this season.
Due to Hulk's suspension and ahmedov's exemption due to injury, coach Pereira has only two foreign aid available, Oscar and anatovic. They form a front attack line with LV Wenjun and Li Shenglong, and the rear defense is led by Cai Huikang, Yu Hai and Wang shenchao.
20 minutes before the game, the two teams had attack and defense against each other, but both focused on defense and did not create threatening attack opportunities. For Urawa ruby, who scored two away goals, a dull draw is welcome. In the 23rd minute, Yang Shiyuan was injured and fell to the ground in defense. He could not persist in the game and could only be replaced by Lin Chuangyi. This change adds a bit of gloom to the prospect of going to Hong Kong.
In the 38th minute, Puhe Ruby hit the ball from the left road and made a man marking mistake in Hong Kong. Xing Shuan completed the header to attack the goal. The ball hit the beam and rebounded into the net. Puhe Ruby took the lead with one goal and led 3-2 in two rounds. At half-time, Puhe led Hong Kong 1-0, and the latter was forced into a desperate situation.
Yi Bian fought again, Puhe Ruby continued to play a fast counterattack while maintaining a solid defense; The Shanggang team had to try their best to win the goal.
In the 60th minute, it was quite similar to Puhe's goal in the first half, and the Hong Kong team scored a goal. Shanggang sent a cross on the left road, and Puhe also made a man marking mistake. Wang shenchao in the middle broke the gate guarded by veteran Xichuan zhouzuo with a light pad shot. Shanggang team equalized the score, and the total score of the two teams became 3-3, but Puhe Ruby still has the advantage of scoring more away goals.
After losing the ball, Puhe strengthened the offensive, and Shanggang also hoped to score another goal. The two teams changed to offensive football, and the scene opened up and closed. Limited by physical problems, the Shanggang team always missed the target at the last minute. Neither arnatovic's long-range shot nor Li Shenglong's header could form a goal. Puhe also created some shooting opportunities, but Yan Junling showed stability and resolved the crisis.
With the end of 3-minute injury stoppage time, the Hong Kong team finally shook hands with Puhe Ruby 1-1 away. The total score of the two teams was 3-3. Puhe advanced to the top four of the Asian Champions League with the advantage of away goals, but it was a pity to stop in Hong Kong.
