In the third match as well, we spent a lot of time on defense from the start of the game.
Guangzhou Evergrande pressed from the front and attacked starting from the flanks.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Takema passed to Nakagawa from a short corner.
Nakagawa, who received the ball, dribbled past two opponents and delivered a cross, which Kurimata connected with, shaking the back of the net, but it was ruled offside.
In the 37th minute of the first half, we conceded a goal from a shot after being broken down by a dribble on the right wing and a cross.
Similar to the Boca match, we conceded a goal just before the end of the first half.
At halftime, we made three substitutions and headed into the second half.
In the second half, we spent more time possessing the ball and created several chances from set pieces, but we couldn't score.
We lost the match and will now move on to the lower tournament.
The venue will move from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, and the semifinals will be held on April 29th.
