HAGL suffer 2nd loss against Yokohama F. Marinos in AFC Champions League


Japan’s Yokohama F. Marinos registered another victory over Vietnam’s Hoang Anh Gia Lai in group H of AFC Champions League in HCMCs Thong Nhat Stadium on Thursday night.

Yokohama dominated most of the time with 69 percent of possession and 722 successful passes. The pressure from the away team was shown right from the start. In the first 30 minutes, goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh already had five saves. However, five minutes later, defender Nguyen Huu Tuan, in an attempt to clear the ball, tackled striker Teruhito Nakagawa inside the box. The referee immediately pointed to the penalty box and striker Marcos Junior opened the score with a shot into the bottom right corner.

HAGL’s opportunities in this game mainly came from the individual efforts of striker Nguyen Van Toan, with his speedy sprints. But the closest chance was when defender Kim Dong-su won the ball and passed it to the left for Vu Van Thanh. It was five on five, but Thanh chose to finish right away instead of a link-up play and goalkeeper Yosuke Kataoka had to push the ball away.

But that’s all HAGL could do in this game. Yokohama not only finished twice as much but also created more dangerous plays. From the right cross of Junior in the 52nd minute, striker Leonardo Pereira’s header hit the post. Keeper Tuan Linh made a mistake in this situation when he went out to catch the ball but failed to do so.

Yokohama scored the second goal in the 83rd minute. From a corner kick on the right, centre-back Shinnosuke Hatanaka got a header in an unmarked position and beat goalkeeper Tuan Linh. The game ended with HAGL losing 0-2.

With this defeat, HAGL couldn’t get more points, but the team are determined to win the last match of the group stage against Australia’s Sydney FC on Sunday. If successful, this will be their first-ever victory in AFC Champions League.
