Blog Article
It is the sinking of East Asian soccer team. The team is losing strength to the West Asian soccer team armed with oil money.
Thailand's Buriram United was completely defeated by Al Ahli (Saudi) 0-3 in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the 2024-2025 season at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on the 27th (Korea time).
The match was one-sided from the start of the match. Al-Ahli, who recruited a large number of players who had been active in European big leagues, indiscriminately bombed starting with Riyad Mahrez's first goal in the fourth minute of the first half. Galeno's additional goal was scored in just two minutes, and Roberto Firmino's net goal in the 30th minute of the first half was added to secure a three-goal victory.
As a result, only Yokohama F. Marinos and Kawasaki Frontale will survive among the four East Asian teams that advanced to the quarterfinals at this year's championship. As East Asian soccer is no match for West Asian soccer, a sense of crisis is mounting.
Gwangju FC, which represented the K League 1 earlier on the 26th, was eliminated after being defeated 0-7 by the "super luxurious legion" Al Hilal. And 24 hours later, Buriram, one of the most prestigious Thai cities, was helpless.
Both Gwangju and Buriram lost to the West Asian team, which built a strong squad with oil money.
Like Al Hilal, who beat Gwangju, Al-Ahli is a team with a large number of European star players.
Chelsea goal picker Edouard Mendy, Juventus Merich Demiral, AC Milan, Frank Kesier, Manchester City key Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, who led Liverpool's heyday, and Ivan Toney, who scored double-digit points in the Premier League.
What's surprising is that Al-Ahli did not play as the best member of this competition. Gabri Veiga, who was expected to be a Spanish supernova, was listed as a substitute in the second half of the competition.
Nevertheless, Al-Ahli took the victory with an overwhelming performance of "playing with" Buriram throughout the 90 minutes.
The first goal was scored in the fourth minute of the first half. Mahrez, who led Leicester City to a fairytale Premier League victory in the 2015-2016 season, penetrated from the right side of the penalty box and scored with a right diagonal shot.
Then, two minutes later, in the 6th minute of the first half, Galeno broke the offside trap and hit a right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty box, and the ball went between the legs of the goalkeeper Buriram and made it 2-0.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Firmino joined the scoring procession with the help of Mahrez. Players from both teams rushed to fight for a ball in the air on the ball that Mahrez put up in the corner. After that, the ball fell right in front of the goal's right goal line and Firmino pushed it with his right foot to score the third point. 안전놀이터
Al-Ahli, who was three goals ahead in the first half alone, secured the score well with a relaxed game management in the second half and advanced to the semifinals.
