MD4: FC Seoul (KOR) 0-0 Chengdu Rongcheng FC (CHN)

Seoul: FC Seoul and Chengdu Rongcheng FC played out a goalless stalemate in their AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 encounter at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Tuesday.
A listless first 45 minutes and a more energetic second half display by both clubs saw the hosts move up to five points with Chengdu one adrift in the East Zone standings.

Both sides failed to produce any clear opportunities in the first half hour, with Cheon Seong-hoon and Hu Hetao attempting equally tame headers at either ends while Chengdu’s Yahav Gurfinkel’s shot sailed into the stands. 

The match saw sparks of life when Ga Chao’s goal-bound cross was intercepted by Seoul keeper Kang Hyeon-mu before Chengdu captain Tim Chow could arrive on the scene, while a counter-attack at the other end by Jesse Lingard ended with the skipper’s effort going wide of the right post.

The Chinese Super League side moved up a gear after the break, but the first attempt came from Seoul’s Lee Seung-mo, who curled his attempt past the right post and a second from Lingard, who shot straight at keeper Jian Tao in a packed goalmouth.

Jian sprang into action again in the 63rd minute when he palmed away Anderson Oliveira’s powerful left-footer and the keeper would have thought his side had gone one up minutes later when Felipe De Sousa poked his shot in only for the goal to be disallowed for a foul by the striker on Jeong Seung-won.

Substitute Moon Seon-min ballooned his shot over the bar after connecting nicely with Kim Jin-Su’s cross in the 81st minute while Wei Shihao did the same on the opposing end in the dying minutes to close a match that ended better than it began.  

Seoul will take on Shanghai Port FC of China on November 25 while Chengdu face Japan’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima the same day.
