Nam Din of Vietnam are the underdogs in their AFC Champions League 2 round of 16 tie against
Japanese side San Franche Hiroshima. Nam Din finished second in their group while San Franche
were unbeaten as they topped group B. And they start very confidently here, winning the ball
in the fourth minute. The ball is crossed in and an acrobatic volley there coming in from Higashi
just over the bar. A great start to this match. Nam Din now coming back the other way just a
minute or so later as we see some lovely interplay here and the shot is just slammed wide there by
China. He's a new signing for the Vietnamese side, a good open match. Into the 27th minute
as we see China here again on the left hand side. It's a really great looking run as the layoff
comes here for Hendry but it's well off target in the end. A quiet finish to the half as it's
goalless at the break. Just over an hour gone as Nam Din come forward now just putting the
Japanese under pressure in the corner.
There's a little ball tucked forwards here. A mistake from the defence again but Brenner
cannot beat Osaka in goal. A big chance there for Nam Din to take the lead.
San Franche looking dodgy in defence there.
A couple of minutes later and a free kick for San Franche at the other end. Suga
whips it in and it's a brilliant header by Sasaki and an equally brilliant stop by Tran Nguyen
from point-blank range. Into the 73rd minute a long ball forwards here which is headed on
and Germain puts the through ball here towards Nakamura. The shot comes in and it's a brilliant
finish. He thunders it across the goalkeeper for 1-0 to San Franche. A well-deserved opener
and they really put their stamp on the tie. Coming towards the end of the match now 88 minutes.
Now San Franche pushing for the cushion and what a fantastic goal that is again 2-0. Tanaka
picking up the loose clearance. He dribbles into the box and San Franche are well in control.
But they aren't finished yet. Into time added on the layoff here. It's a poor effort but it's
spilled by the keeper and 3-0. Koshi Michi that is there to snaffle up the rebound after Tran Nguyen
man let it slip. Michael Skibber will be delighted with the 3-0 victory for his team ahead of next
week's second leg.
