高拉特亚冠比赛罚失点球

In the AFC Champions League, defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande visited Sydney FC in Group H on Wednesday.

After being held 0-0 at home by the Pohang Steelers in the opening round, Luis Felipe Scolari's side were looking to bounce back at the Allianz Stadium.

Sydney lost 2-0 to the Urawa Red Diamonds in their group opener last week, while the two-time winners Evergrande need to prove themselves after a goalless draw to K-league side Pohang.

The visitors take the upper hand early on as Jackson Martinez tests Sydney keeper Vedran Janjetovic, but to no avail.

Sydney fight back and take the lead after 17 minutes. Excellent build-up play from David Carney and Shane Smeltz sets up Robert Stambolziev, and the winger scores to make it 1-nil Sydney.

Superb teamwork from the home side and the defending champs are stunned by the air strike!

Guangzhou have a chance to equalise just five minutes later as Martinez is bundled over by Sydney defender Sebastian Ryall inside the area.

But Janjetovic becomes the hero for the A-league outfit, as he saves Ricardo Goulart's spot kick. The first penalty missed by the Brazilian since he joined Guangzhou last January. 

However, Goulart redeems himself in the 25th minute, as his pass sets up Huang Bowen whose cross goes in off a defender.

It looks like Huang chose to shoot and it's a good call as it ties things up at 1.

It's not until the 88th minute that Sydney take the lead again. Substitute Milos Dimitrijevic creates space for himself inside the box before firing past Guangzhou keeper Zeng Cheng.

2-1 is the final and the home side claims three points, while the defending champs are winless after two rounds.

In the other matches in Group H, the Pohang Steelers beat the Urawa Red Diamonds 1-nil at home. The South Korea side now top the group with four points heading into Matchday Three. Evergrande are dead last with only 1 point.

Elkeson & Wu score to give Shanghai 3 points

Also on Wednesday, Shanghai SIPG hosted Suwon Bluewings in Group G.

Shanghai, who are debutants in this competition, suffered a 2-1 defeat in their group opener against A-League side Melbourne Victory, while Suwon played out a goalless draw against Japan's Gamba Osaka.

Shanghai's fortunes are revived when they take the lead shortly after the half-hour mark. Wu Lei's lofted pass finds Elkeson who beats Yeon Jei-min and then fired past No Gong-geon! Great individual play by Elkeson.

The former Guangzhou Evergrande forward nets his 15th AFC Champions League goal, and his first in SIPG colours.

Six minutes after the restart, Shanghai extend their lead when Wu Lei notches his second goal of the competition.

Suwon reduce the deficit with 19 minutes remaining, as Yeom Ki-hun splits the home defence with a superb pass that was met by Yang Sang-min and then converted from close range by substitute Jang Hyun Soo.

2-1 is the final, and Sven-Goran Eriksson's men grab their first victory in the Champions League.

In other action, Melbourne Victory drew 1-1 with Osaka on the road and are at the top of Group G on 4 points, one point clear of SIPG, followed by Osaka with two and Suwon on one.
