A-Leagues adventures in Asia (ACL & AFC Cup thread)

Late start tomorrow then...

Reasonably enticing odds for WSW and Roar.

I might have a flutter... (also Suwon over Beijing Guoan)

Should be 1-1 but for Hyphen missing a sitter.

What the hell has happened to that surface? Looks like they've held a monster truck rally on it.

This just in from my Wanderers fan mate at the ACL game:

"5,000 Chinese fans have turned up!"

Those 5000 Chinese fans are having a ball now.

17 mins of added time, nasty injury to the other teams keeper

17 mins injury time as Zeng Cheng broke his jaw in the second half.  WSW 1- 3 Hengda.

wsw 2-3 Hengda

WSW score, 2-3

Roar take the lead in Japan

Hengda hang in to keep the score 2-3.

Not sure on the status of Zeng Cheng.

Roar do the biz against 10 man Urawa Reds.

FT 1-0

Two ACL games tonight:

Brisbane v Suwon Bluewings @ 9:30pm

FC Seoul v Western Sydney @ 11:30pm

About to kick off. A not too damaging injury to Broich would be acceptable. Nothing serious, just a wee strain to keep him sidelined this Sunday.

....Except he's not playing!

Borrello nets early.

1-0

Some caramello bear defending for both the Roar goals http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/asian-champions-league/acl-2014-15-brisbane-roar-hosts-suwon-bluewings-fc-seoul-v-wanderers-follow-our-live-blog/story-e6frf4kl-1227268487013

Jeez nice comeback, good goal

That was a rather sexy goal, 2-2

Some more caramello bear defending and its 2-3!

Wow nice goal. Roar have really blown this.

This could easily end 2-5 tbh, Roar keep turning the ball over and getting hit with the quick counter

3-3! Clut with a stunner

And yet for most of the first half they were all over Suwong and could've had 3 or 4. Roar have played some very good footy up front but yeah that defence is a mess.

Fudge, missed that goal!

Ends 3-3. Changing over to the WSW game, its 0-0 at HT

Cheers, RR. Pretty entertaining game with some cracking goals and some shoddy defence. I still think we are going to struggle against Roar though but then I'm an eternal pessimist when it comes to the Nix.

WSW game ends 0-0

I can't help but feel the keeper should have done more with that. It went straight over him.

Western Sydney v FC Seoul @ 9:30pm tonight

Bulut puts WSW up 1-0

I've only seen the last 20 minutes but some of WSW's play has been woeful. The two Haliti efforts on goal were quite funny. It takes something special to be that donkey-like.

He was lucky to not be sent off just before half time, came face to face with a Seoul player and i could swear he pushed his head forward into him.

How didn't that cross the line? That was a heck of a strike by Seoul

All Seoul since half time

And yet WSW could have killed the game off but for some poor option taking on attack. Been watching La Rocca this season and he is incredibly error prone. Very overrated in my opinion.

1-1
