ACL 2017 MD1 - Group G: Guangzhou Evergrande vs Eastern SC preview

Published on: 21 February 2017

Guangzhou: Eastern SC of Hong Kong will make their AFC Champions League debut when they travel the short journey northwards to Tianhe Stadium and two-time AFC Champions League winners Guangzhou Evergrande in Group G on Wednesday.

The clash between Eastern SC coach Chan Yuen-ting and Guangahzou’s World Cup Winning tactician Luiz Felipe Scolari has dominated the headlines with the former set to become the first-ever female to helm a side at a men’s continental competition. Eastern are also the first ever club from Hong Kong to qualify to the group stages of the AFC Champions League.  

It will be a daunting opener for coach Chan and her players as Guangzhou, 2013 and 2015 Asian champions, have lost only two of their last 24 AFC Champions League home games.
