Suita: Bangkok United will take a 1-0 lead into the second leg of their AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™ semi-final against Gamba Osaka next week after Totchtawan Sripan’s side defeated the 10-man J1 League outfit at Suita City Football Stadium on Wednesday.

Muhsen Al Ghassani’s 15th minute penalty separates the sides at the halfway point in the tie with Gamba’s efforts to pull level hampered by a 74th minute red card for defender and captain Shinnosuke Nakatani.

The teams will meet again in Rajamangala Stadium next Wednesday with Bangkok United attempting to become the first Thai club to reach the final of the competition.
