The Southern Tigers secured a crucial point as they extended their unbeaten run to a record three matches, whilst retaining their two-point lead over their Japanese opponents in Group I.

Having suffered heavy defeats in their opening two matches, China PR's Shandong produced a gritty defensive display to deny their Singaporean opponents a second successive win.

Makoto Teguramori’s men were at times challenged by the Filipino outfit, but Kanokpon Puspakom’s opener gave them room to breathe before a four-goal avalanche saw the margin blow out late in the game.

With seven points of a possible nine secured, BG Pathum remain on course to return to the knockout stage for a second successive year, with United City still without a point at the halfway point of the group stage.

While the victory sees the K League leaders remain in third-place, Hong Myung-bo’s men registered their first win of the campaign to mount the pressure on early pace-setters Johor Darul Ta’zim and Kawasaki Frontale in what promises to be a grandstand finale to top Group I.
