Sydney are 1-1 at the moment. No ACL for me here, just the AFC Cup (due to two Filipino sides still being in the comp - well one now that Ceres bowed at to South China last night). Johor v Kaya tonight

Sydney are now 2-1 up but down to 10 men and conceded a penalty.
Janjetovic saves and makes up for his fumble leading to the penalty.
And turns out the Shandong attacker was offside so should not have been a penalty or a red...

Shandong with an 89th minute screamer to make it 2-2!!!
They will progress on the away goals rule.

A couple of interesting results in the 1st leg of the Quarters:
West Zone:
Al-Ain (UAE) had a 0-0 draw with Lokomtiv Tashkent which leaves the Uzbeks in the driving seat.
El-Jaish (QTR) 0-3 Al-Nasr (UAE)
East Zone:
Shanghai SIPG 0-0 Jeonbuk Motors. The boys in lurid green will be humming with that result.
FC Seoul - Shandong Luneng 3-1. No real surprises there; FC Seoul have looked the best balanced side in the ACL for a few seasons now and it's only the odd dazzling performance from a Chinese-side import that's brought them undone.
In all the Koreans are in the drivers seat and we may, just may, have a chance of seeing an Uzbek side in the final.
Second leg is Sep 14.

it turned out that Al-Nasr had a player who was born in Brazil and had acquired a fake Indonesian passport. Their 3-0 win was taken away and they were handed a 0-3 loss which effectively knocked them out of the ACL.
On the Eastern side the Koreans had no problems accounting for the Chinese clubs and an all South Korean semi awaits.

Wow so that Korea's 11th title all up. More than double the next best nation in Japan with 5.
That's also now 11 straight seasons that the East have won the tournament.

Al Ain won it a few years ago if memory serves.

Ah I missed Al Sadd from Qatar who won it in 2011. So 1 club in the last 11 is from the West.
