Ho Chi Minh: Sydney FC head coach Steve Corica did not hide his disappointment following his side's 1-1 draw with Hoang Anh Gia Lai in Group H of the AFC Champions League™ 2022 on Tuesday.

Although the Vietnamese side had opened the scoring through Vu Van Thanh's strike from distance in the 26th minute, Sydney had more than their fair share of chances to win the match.

In the end, substitute Trent Buhagiar's header moments after coming on was all Sydney had to show for their efforts and Corica admitted his disappointment, with the Australian side having opened their campaign with a goalless draw with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.
