Chengdu Rongcheng
Buriram United
Buriram United secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Chengdu Rongcheng in this AFC Champions League Elite encounter, with set-piece prowess proving decisive. The Thai side dominated through dead-ball situations, with Bissoli's 50th-minute header from a corner kick settling a fractious affair that saw 12 yellow cards distributed between the sides. Despite striking the post earlier in the match, Bissoli showed persistence to convert when it mattered most, capitalizing on Chengdu's defensive vulnerability at set pieces. The result maintains Buriram's continental ambitions while leaving the Chinese hosts struggling for momentum in the competition, with their discipline particularly concerning given the number of bookings accumulated.
