Mixed feelings for Wissing despite Gamba's progression

Suita: Satisfaction mixed with frustration defined head coach Jens Wissing’s mood after Gamba Osaka edged Pohang Steelers 2-1 on Thursday to seal progression to the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™.

While pleased to see his side advance to the last eight stage with a 3-2 aggregate victory, the German tactician made it clear the narrow scoreline did not reflect his team’s dominance on the night.

Suita: Gamba Osaka strode into the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™ with a well-deserved 2-1 win over FC Pohang Steelers in the second leg of their Round of 16 clash at the Suita City Football Stadium on Thursday.

Sydney: Muhsen Al Ghassani scored twice in the first half as Bangkok United confirmed their progress to the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26™ on Thursday with a 2-2 draw against Macarthur FC to complete a 4-2 aggregate win for the Thai side.

Al Ghassani netted in the second and 33rd minutes as Totchtawan Sripan’s side extended their advantage from last week’s first leg before Walter Scott gave the home side a glimmer of hope with a strike from distance four minutes before the interval.

Callum Talbot hit the post for Mile Sterjovski’s side, who pushed in vain for a way back into the game and Harry Sawyer’s 92nd minute goal was not enough to deny Bangkok United a last eight meeting with Singapore's Tampines Rovers FC next month.
