On October 21, a total of 4 games were played on the first match day of the third round of the East Asia Region of the AFC Champions League Elite League. Among them, Chengdu Chengdu lost 0-2 at home to Johor Bahru, suffering its first home defeat in the AFC Champions League in team history, and being kept clean for the first time in the AFC Champions League, setting a double record of humiliation.

In this game, Chengdu Chengdu conducted extensive rotations, with many main players sitting on the bench, causing the team to be passive from the start. In just 5 minutes of play, Alibaba scored a goal in a row, giving Johor Bahru the lead. Throughout the first half, Chengdu Chengdu failed to complete any shots, nor did it create a scoring opportunity or get a corner kick. In comparison, Johor Bahru had a total of 9 shots, 4 of which were on target, and received 4 corner kick opportunities.

In the second half, Chengdu Chengdu not only failed to equalize the score, but its opponents continued to expand its advantage. In the 62nd minute, Nacho Mendes scored with a volley to help Johor Bahru win 2-0. In another game, in the 84th minute, Beic assisted Rashani to score, helping Melbourne City equalize the score 1-1. Then in the 97th minute, Atkinson assisted Caputo for a buzzer-beater, and Melbourne City finally reversed course 2-1.

After half a month, Chengdu Chengdu once again played in the AFC Champions League and continued to face the Malaysian giant Johor Bahru at home.
