Yogyakarta: China PR’s Dalian Yuan Dynasty came back from a goal down to beat Victoria University College of Myanmar 3-2 but missed out on the Knockout Stage of the AFC Futsal Club Championship Indonesia 2018 after finishing behind Group B runners-up Vamos FC on goal difference on Sunday.
Victoria came into the match determined to end their campaign with a win after suffering two consecutive losses, while Dalian knew they needed a victory with goals aplenty to finish second in the group.
Nyein Min Soe and Aung Zin Oo were Victoria’s dynamic duo, with both showing superb coordination, and in the fourth minute, the pair surged down the court in a counter-attack that led to Aung opening the scoring with a right-footed strike.
Undeterred by conceding, Dalian went in pursuit of the equaliser and were rewarded in the 10th minute when Wang Hongwei, who was positioned on the left flank, released a crackling left-footed shot from a difficult angle which found its way into the back of the net to level the tie.
