Group E: Tai Po FC (HKG) 3-3 Beijing FC (CHN)

Hong Kong: Michel Renner scored a 90th minute equaliser to earn Tai Po FC a 3-3 draw with Beijing FC at Mongkok Stadium in Group E of the AFC Champions League Two™ 2025/26 on Thursday to cap a dramatic clash that had earlier seen the Chinese side overturn a two goal deficit.

Fabio Abreu looked to have capped a remarkable comeback when he gave Beijing the lead in the 83rd minute after Renner had put Tai Po ahead in the 17th minute and James Temelkovski added a second for the Hong Kong Premier League side from the spot 12 minutes later.
 
Bai Yang’s header reduced the deficit in the 36th minute before Michael Ngadeu levelled for Beijing in the 53rd minute to leave Abreu to put his side ahead, only for Renner to net Tai Po’s third at the end of a dramatic clash.
