AFC Champions League Two
The Japanese side finished a whopping nine points ahead of second-placed Ratchaburi and forward Jebali said there should be no let up, even with head coach Daniel Poyatos leaving the club.

“Today we won our sixth game out of six matches in the group stage,” said Jebali. “I would like to say my appreciation to coach Dani for everything he has done to the club and to me as a player.
“We have our foundation, we know how to play and we have good rhythm on the ball. Today was a complete game for us. We aim to win the title and today was our final game for the year but we will come back next year to finish the job and give our fans something to remember,” said the Tunisian.
Ratchaburi head coach Worrawoot Srimaka was a relieved man after his team progressed despite the loss thanks, pipping Vietnam’s Nam Dinh FC on goal difference.
“Today we lost because it was an away game and Gamba are very strong when they play at home,” said Worrawoot. “We are not used to weather like this but the players tried their best and we are thankful that we are able to go to the next round.”

It was heartbreak for Nam Dinh, who gave it their all in the 9-0 win against Hong Kong’s Eastern FC only to come up short by a single goal, leaving head coach Mauro Jeronimo disappointed yet proud.
“A little bit difficult to describe when we were so close,” said Jeronimo. “We only needed one more goal to go to the next stage.
“The feeling is disappointment because we wanted to go to the next stage but at the same time, I’m very proud of the players. They never gave up and believed until the last second that we could make this mission that many people thought was impossible.”
