Hello, we are back with another live blog, and it’s FC Seoul vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Stay tuned for live updates.

The AFC Champions League Elite 2025-26 matches will be streamed live on FanCode.

The first half has begun at Mokdong Stadium as FC Seoul take on Sanfrecce Hiroshima in their AFC Champions League clash.

FC Seoul are the ones who take early lead in the game. Choi Jun draws a foul in the penalty area and Patryk Klimala converts the penalty with a right footed shot to the top right corner. A goal in the tenth minute of the game and FC Seoul have the opportunity to control the game from here on.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima build waves of attack as response to conceding so early in the game. First, Taishi Matsumoto's right footed shot from the centre of the box misses to the right. Then Shuto Nakano's left footed shot from the centre of the box misses to the left. It was assisted by Ryo Germain following a corner.

FC Seoul double their lead. It is Naoto Arai who scores an own goal and this time Sanfrecce Hiroshima is in deep trouble now. He is the one who conceded the corner and he is the one who ends up with the last touch before the ball entered the net from the resultant attack. Sanfrecce has created good moves but they conceded twice now. Tough ask for them ahead.

Ryo Germain concedes a corner to FC Seoul and they utilise another set-piece situation to their advantage. Central midfielder Song Min-Kyu hits the bar with a header from a difficult angle on the right. Assisted by Jeong Seung-Won with a cross following the corner.

The first half comes to an end and Seoul maintains their two-goal lead. They have been good from set pieces and despite a burst from Hiroshima, they were not able to break through. Daiki Suga tried a shot at the brink of the first half, but it was blocked. They will need to hit Seoul harder to come back in the game.

Taichi Yamasaki replaces Hayato Araki. Sanfrecce Hiroshima are making their intentions clear at the start of the second half.

A bit of end-to-end stuff in the last few minutes. Sota Nakamura's right footed shot from the centre of the box goes too high. Assisted by Kosuke Kinoshita. It came in response of Cho Young-Wook's right footed shot from the centre of the box missing to the right following a set piece situation.

Sanfrecce are desperate for goal, but Seoul's defence stands strong. Taichi Yamasaki's left footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Assisted by Ryo Germain with a headed pass. Seoul are nearing a victory here with only 15 minutes remaining in the clock.

Ryo Germain keeps pushing for goal. His left footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal by Gu Sung-Yun. Assisted by Shuto Nakano with a cross. Sanfrecce Hiroshima are running out of time now. Seoul can see the victory.

What drama! Sanfrecce Hiroshima score two goals in the injury time and equalise. Ryo Germain's honest effort finally paid off in the 93rd minute, when his right footed shot from very close range found the centre of the goal. Kosuke Kinoshita topped it up as his header found the net, assisted by Takaaki Shichi with a cross on the 96th minute. A comeback for the ages.

A game for the ages! Seoul were leading 2-0 till the 93rd minute and things looked comfortable for them. But in a sudden spell, Sanfrecce scored two goals in three minutes and the match ended in a draw. Sanfrecce snatched out a draw from the jaws of defeat and Seoul are awestruck here. One point from this game was not what they were expecting and their survival now will be tough. Sanfrecce Hiroshima will just be happy with a point and the mentality the team showed.
