It was a thrilling afternoon for Shandong Taishan fans. In the final battle of the AFC Champions League group stage, Shandong Taishan played away against Yokohama Mariners, and in the case of "losing 0-3 can also be promoted", Shandong Taishan really lost 0-3 and advanced to the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League in a fiasco!
Yokohama Mariners are firmly in control at home with the determination to win. Shandong Taishan, which lacks Fellaini and Moisés, can only rely on Cressan to support it. Elber, Mateus, and Anderson Lopez violently attacked Taishan's defense, and Choi Kang-hee, who was good at making a preemptive move, looked at the personnel on the bench, and was powerless.
The Yokohama Mariners trident of Elber, Anderson López, and Mateus stirred up the Shandong Taishan defense line. Three attackers made a force, and one scored one goal to help Yokohama Mariner take a 3-0 lead.
In the 80th minute, the shot that made Shandong Taishan fans "raise their hearts to their throats" appeared:
Shandong Taishan made a series of mistakes in the backfield and dug a hole for himself. Anderson Lopez smashed from Tarzan's double pinch and Judson made a sideways interception, only to be bypassed by Anderson Lopez!Anderson López made a one-on-one shot, but the Brazilian striker was soft at his feet and fired a shot just wide.
Anderson Lopez lay on the turf in frustration after losing the must-score single knife - Tarzan has to thank Anderson Lopez for not killing, if Anderson Lopez's push is 20 centimeters more accurate, the score will become 0-4, and Tarzan will fall from the top of the table to the third out of the group!
For 30-year-old Anderson López, Chinese fans will be no stranger. In the summer of 2021, Anderson Lopes joined Wuhan Zall (Wuhan Yangtze River). At Wuhan Yangtze River, Anderson Lopes made just 18 appearances and scored seven goals. In February 2022, Anderson López joined Yokohama Mariners and scored 22 goals in 34 games in the J-League this season.
Anderson's one-on-one shot went wide and changed the fate of both teams
Shandong Taishan is the "beneficiary", if it loses 0-4, it will be ranked third in the group. In the case of losing 0-3 to qualify, if Taishan loses 0-4 out, the pressure is unimaginable. Tarzan has to thank Anderson Lopez for not killing - although he failed hard, he managed to qualify, and the fans were able to walk out of the stadium with a sense of rejoicing.
The Incheon Union can only sigh that creation makes people. If Taishan loses 0-4, Incheon United will qualify.
The situation in the AFC Champions League is so exciting and suspenseful, until the last moment, no one can predict the result.
