Guangzhou: Thai champions Buriram United proved they will be no easy-beats after a well-earned 1-1 draw with Chinese giants Guangzhou Evergrande at the Tianhe Stadium on Wednesday.
After a nervy start, the visitors recovered well and produced a display that will give them plenty of confidence going forward in the 2018 AFC Champions League.

They set up in a 5-4-1 formation, with Diogo as the lone man forward, and looked to get numbers behind the ball as shown in the average positions below.
