The AFC Champions League second-tier group stage continues, with Beijing Guoan challenging Dabu. Tai Po from the Hong Kong Super League is not outstanding. They have only won one victory in the last four games and are ranked fifth in the Hong Kong Super League. It can be said that in terms of strength, Guoan has the upper hand.

Throughout the game, Dapu, which was not very strong, played impressively against Guoan and unexpectedly took the lead in scoring two goals. Then Guoan woke up from a dream and scored three goals in succession, completing a classic comeback. Just when everyone thought that Guoan would end with this result, Dabu staged a wonderful draw at the last minute. At the end of the game, Beijing Guoan drew with Dabu 3:3.

From the beginning of the game, the attitude of Tai Po, who played at home, was very obvious. They were resolutely pressing and pressing throughout the game! Forcing Guoan's ball-taking organization, it is difficult to form a smooth cooperation.

Although the tactics of both sides were very resolute, they were not weak in hardness. Various tackles and falls to the ground occurred frequently.

In the 17th minute, the deadlock was broken! The ball was thrown from the sideline of Dabu. Ngadewu was overconfident in his body's advantage in protecting the ball. He was flexibly intercepted by Macare in the penalty area. He faced Zhang Jianzhi from close range and pushed the ball into the goal, 1:0!

Dabu, which is leading the score, still maintains a strong desire to attack on the offensive end, frequently threatening Guoan's penalty area.

In the 27th minute, Guoan suffered another blow. Dabu quickly counterattacked to the frontcourt. Zhang Yuan directly knocked down his opponent in the penalty area, and the referee whistled a penalty kick! Temelkovsky's powerful shot from the center scored directly, 2:0! Guoan was forced into a desperate situation.

Immediately, Guoan woke up from a dream and launched a fierce attack on the opponent's penalty area. In the 35th minute, Zhang Xizhe passed the ball into the penalty area, and Bo Yang nodded and hit the goal, 2:1! Beijing Guoan pulled back a victory. The two teams entered a fierce competition, and at the end of the half game, Guoan was temporarily behind by one goal.

Throughout the first half, logically speaking, Beijing Guoan was stronger, but its performance on the court was far inferior to its opponents. There are not many bright spots on the offensive end, and the defensive end is frequently targeted by opponents. The two wings are almost completely penetrated by opponents. Ngadwu's condition is not ideal, his marking is not tight, he makes mistakes on the ball, etc.

Dabu performed very well. It can be seen that the preparations for this game before the game were well done. The offensive end is very methodical and has a high success rate. Although the team only scored two goals, it created four or five scoring opportunities, but the quality of the final kick or key pass was poor.

During the halftime break, Beijing Guoan must make a positive change in attitude. In terms of tactics, we must run as much as possible, otherwise even if there is a chance at our feet, it will be difficult to create a threatening offensive.

Back in the second half, Tai Po still maintained a high-pressure offensive momentum. In the 53rd minute, Guoan took a corner kick into the penalty area. Ngadewu grabbed the point in the penalty area and scored from close range, 2:2! Guoan equalized the score. Just a few minutes later, Lin Liangming scored with a supplementary shot, but the line referee determined that it was offside, so the goal was invalid. But looking at slow motion, this call was obviously a misjudgment. Guoan then replaced three people in a row to continue to maintain the vitality of the frontcourt.

Both sides kept changing their players, and neither side was willing to accept the result of a draw. There was a fierce confrontation and many controversial calls. In the 83rd minute, Guoan stole the ball in the frontcourt and quickly launched a counterattack. Dawan sent it into the penalty area. Fabio stopped the ball and shot in one go, 2:3! Guoan completed the feat of letting two chase three.

But Taibu was not to be outdone and launched a final crazy counterattack. In the 89th minute, the continuous offensive finally broke through Guoan's goal again. Makare scored with a powerful shot, 3:3! Guoan suffered a tragic defeat at the last moment.

An unexpected draw by his opponent made Guoan star Xu Yunlong very angry. Three goals conceded and many details in the game were frankly incomprehensible.

Especially the performance of Bo Yang and goalkeeper Zhang Jianzhi, the last ball conceded was simply unreasonable. The opponent's forward took the ball with his back in the penalty area, but Bo Yang watched his opponent turn around without interference and easily aimed and shot.

Goalkeeper Zhang Jianzhi has such a tall figure, but when faced with many simple high-altitude balls, he does not dare to attack. He just sits in front of the goal and waits to pick up the ball, which invisibly creates a lot of pressure and risk for his own defense.

After the end of this game, Guoan still struggled to win in the three group matches and currently only has 2 points. The overall qualifying situation is not optimistic at all. It can be said that as long as Guoan cannot take all three points in the next game, qualifying will only be theoretically possible. However, Guoan has just undergone a coaching change, the morale of the entire team is low, and they have lost the good situation of competing for the league championship. Whether they can break through in the second tier of the AFC Champions League in the future is worrying.
