Yesterday's results:

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 1–2 Pohang Steelers

Cerezo Osaka 1–5 Guangzhou Evergrande

Al-Jazira 1–2 Al-Ain

Al-Ittihad 1–0 Al-Shabab

Evergrande are making a killing this year!

Looks like I had the wrong time for the Bunyodkor - Al Hilal game.

That game's almost finished, 88th minute with Al Hilal ahead 1-0.

 

[Bi-honar]

Full time: Bunyodkor 0 - 1 Al Hilal

Buny with a real tough task ahead and it looks like Foolad will be the only non-Arab team from West Asia with a chance to make it to the quarterfinals. Foolad's round of 16 game will start in an hour...

 

[Bi-honar]

Game is under way. Where is everyone?

Damn, Rezaei injured already being subbed out in the 12th minute. Real bad tackle on him and no yellow card for Al Sadd player.

 

[Bache Tehroon]

big blow to Foolad. GH. Rezaei injured by a bad tackle and ridiculously ignored by the ref.

 

[Bi-honar]

Penalty not called either against Al Sadd!

 

[Bache Tehroon]

Ouch. Rafeiee's head takes a big knee-blow. That must've hurt.

 

[Bi-honar]

And Rafii just gets kicked in the head... real bad hit - definite red card, not even a yellow shown. Real SHIT ref.

 

[Bache Tehroon]

Penalty not called either against Al Sadd!

That's not a penalty. No chance for the player to react and no chance of a goal.

 

[Bi-honar]

It doesn't really matter bro, hand ball in the box is a penalty, unless it's a rare ball to hand situation. Maybe that was the case here.

Behroujan baba it was his own tackle. Total accident. No foul at all.

 

[Bi-honar]

I'm pissed today lol

 

[Bi-honar]

Man, I thought we'd be killing these guys

 

[Bache Tehroon]

Man, I thought we'd be killing these guys

Their loss to Sepahan was a fluke. They're by far the best team in the Middle East. Best possession football I've seen from an Asian team ever.

Japanese refs usually take it easy in the early going of the games.they don't go all Kamikaze on dishing out cards. they learned their lesson from WWII.

 

[Bache Tehroon]

Foolad is here to waste time. It's obvious. Ansari throws away his shinpad as soon as he goes down.

 

[Bi-honar]

Yeah, it looks like they're happy with a 0-0 - trying to play a fast transition game but Perreira's a little too slow for that

 

[Bi-honar]

Very nice counter from Foolad
