Treephan wants Port FC to use lessons learnt from AFC Champions League defeat to Cerezo Osaka

Buriram: Port FC coach Sarawut Treephan is hoping his team can learn the lessons from their 3-0 loss at the hands of Cerezo Osaka in Group J of the AFC Champions League on Saturday as the gulf in standard between the Thai League and the J-League was put on display at Buriram Stadium.

Sarawut’s side slipped to the loss three days after holding the J-League club to a 1-1 draw in their first encounter of this year’s competition after Cerezo coach Levir Culpi made 10 changes to his starting line-up.

Group G: Ratchaburi FC snatch point to dent Pohang Steelers' AFC Champions League hopes

Bangkok: Ratchaburi FC of Thailand ended their run of defeats in Group G of the 2021 AFC Champions League after holding Korea Republic’s FC Pohang Steelers 0-0 at the Rajamangala Stadium on Sunday.

Neither side could find the back of the net in a match of missed chances as Ratchaburi secured their first ever AFC Champions League point, a result which means that Pohang's hopes of winning the group were dashed after Japan's Nagoya Grampus defeated Johor Darul Ta'zim of Malaysia in Sunday's late match.

The Korean side must now hope to advance as one of the best three runners-up from the five groups being contested in the East zone.

Group H: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors power past Tampines Rovers to stay firmly in control of AFC Champions League destiny

Tashkent: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC cemented their place at the top of Group H of the 2021 AFC Champions League with an emphatic 4-0 win over ten-man Tampines Rovers FC on Matchday Four on Sunday.

Having cruised to a 9-0 victory in the reverse fixture three days earlier, head coach Kim Sang-sik made eight changes to his Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors side with only defensive duo Choi Bo-kyung, Park Jin-seong and midfielder Kim Bo-kyung retaining their places.

A cagey beginning to the game saw Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors starting as the better of the two sides, taking the game to their opponents half but struggling to create any real opportunities as the Singaporean side closed down spaces and kept their defensive shape.
