Shandong Taishan met Yokohama Mariners on the road in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 AFC Champions League, losing 0-1 and failing to qualify for the quarterfinals.
At the beginning of the match, although Shandong Taishan showed a strong desire to attack, they were not able to create many threatening chances in front of Yokohama Mariners' tight defense. Meanwhile, Yokohama Mariners gradually controlled the rhythm of the game with their excellent teamwork and precise passing.
In the first half, both teams exchanged attacks and defenses, but neither team was able to score. Shandong Taishan's star striker Kressan was back in action, but he also looked a little out of his depth against the Yokohama Mariners' defense.
Entering the second half, Shandong Taishan stepped up their offense in an attempt to rewrite the score. However, after a long time of attacking, their backline began to have gaps. In the 75th minute, Yokohama Mariners' Roku Yamane found Anderson unmarked in the penalty area with a precise pass, and the latter calmly fired a shot into the goal for the Yokohama Mariners' winning goal.
In the final stage of the match, Shandong Taishan could not rewrite the scoreline despite the fact that there was not much time left. To make matters worse, in the 83rd minute, Taishan's Gao Junyi, as the last defender, committed a foul on Miyagi Ryo and was shown a red card by the referee after being verified by VAR, which made the situation even more difficult for Shandong Taishan.
In the end, with the referee's final whistle, Shandong Taishan lost 0-1 and did not qualify for the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League.
