Group G: Stallion Laguna FC (PHI) 2-3 Terengganu FC (MAS)

Binan: Terengganu came back from two goals down to claim a 3-2 win over Stallion Laguna of the Philippines at Binan Football Stadium on Wednesday to boost their hopes of a place in the knockout rounds of the 2023-24 AFC Cup™.

Sony Norde scored four minutes from time to complete the comeback for the Malaysians, who had gone two goals behind inside the first 14 minutes when Junior Ngong Sam and Griffin McDaniel gave Laguna the perfect start.
 
But a first half own goal from captain Matthew Nierras and an equaliser by Ivan Mamut midway through the second half set up Norde to hit a late winner that broke the hearts of the Filipinos, who are still looking for their first win the competition.

The result keeps Terengganu in contention for a place in the next round with eight points from four games while leaving Laguna bottom of the group with a solitary point.
