Shanghai East Asia FC vs Beijing Renhe
Shanghai East Asia must manage all this week so that it can still get maximum results amid a tight schedule. This weekend, for example, they will face Beijing Renhe after three days at the Asian Cup. Yes, first Shanghai East Asia will meet with Jeonbuk FC in the first leg of the last 16 which was held on Wednesday (6/19) night. Fortunately, they acted as hosts for the match so they could save energy and time.
Meanwhile, Beijing Renhe did not have any schedule after Sunday (6/16) and was buried with a landslide score at Jiangsu Sainty headquarters. Drama happened at the end of the match because the hosts managed to add two goals in injury time to close the duel with a score of 4-1.
The defeat was very painful for Beijing Renhe who had won two previous matches against Tianjin Teda and Tianjin Tianhai. In fact, the disaster also held them in the order of 14 aka just above the red zone.
In the host camp, Shanghai East Asia had recorded five chain wins in this competition before the trend was stopped by Guangzhou Evergrande last week, more painful because it was accepted at home. As a result of the defeat, they were temporarily detained at number 3 with only a goal difference from the visitors who currently occupy the runner-up position.
The meeting with Beijing Renhe last year was wiped out by Shanghai East Asia both as the visitors and the hosts, each with a score of 1-5 and 2-1. This fact is expected to maintain motivation amid the tight schedule.
