Serginho scores twice, Guoan wins first win of the season

On the evening of the 6th, Beijing Guoan faced Hong Kong Tai Po at home in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League. With Zhang Yuning's goal in the second half and Serginho's subsequent brace, Guoan defeated the opponent 3-0 and won its first AFC Champions League victory this season. After this campaign, Guoan overtook the Tai Po team in the group standings, retaining the possibility of qualifying.

Because the last round had just ended in a 3-3 tie, after the start of this game, the two sides did not have any tests, but directly started to attack, especially Guoan, who played at home, had stronger momentum. But it is a pity that although Guoan has a certain advantage, there are not many effective attacks. It was not until the 13th minute that they completed their first shot. 4 minutes later, Ngadwu grabbed a shot in the penalty area and was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. The first 45 minutes of the game ended with a goalless draw between the two sides.

After changing sides and fighting again, Guoan found an opportunity in the first minute. He Yupeng made a pass and found Zhang Yuning in the penalty area. The latter pushed the ball into the far corner and scored, giving Guoan the lead. In the 65th minute, Guoan made substitution adjustments. Serginho and Lin Liangming appeared together, replacing Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuning.

In the 80th minute, Guoan used up the last two substitutions. Jiang Wenhao and Yang Liyu came on the scene, replacing He Yupeng and Cao Yongjing. In the final stage of the game, Guoan had completely taken the initiative on the court. Lin Liangming once hit the crossbar with a shot and almost expanded the score. And just after that, in a corner kick, Serginho scored with a clever shot, and Guoan secured the victory. But it was not over yet. At the last moment of stoppage time, Serginho, who was in excellent form, took advantage of the counterattack opportunity to score another goal, setting the score at 3-0. Guoan's first victory in the AFC Champions League second division this season came.

In another match of this group, Macarthur FC defeated Hanoi Public Security 2-1 at home and temporarily ranked first with 7 points. Guoan and Hanoi Public Security shared 5 points and were temporarily ranked third in the group due to a lower goal difference than the latter. On November 27, Guoan will challenge Hanoi Public Security in an away game. The result of that game will likely have a decisive impact on qualifying.
