Football: Sailors suffer heavy defeat but cast their eyes on final ACL ... (The Straits Times)

A win against Daegu on Saturday will help the Sailors finish second in the group, and put them in a strong position for a round-of-16 spot.

David Moberg Karlsson added the third for his side in the 48th minute when he ghosted in at the far post and finished with a header. In that vein, the Sailors only have three points while Daegu, who won one game and drew the other against Urawa, have four points, thus setting up a grandstand finish on Saturday. The group winners and three best runners-up from the east region's five groups will advance to the round of 16.

Lion City Sailors outclassed by Urawa but task at hand to reach ACL ... (ESPN India)

Despite a heavy loss to Urawa Red Diamonds, the task at hand to reach the AFC Champions League Round of 16 remains unchanged for Lion City Sailors.

Even if Daegu join Urawa on ten points by beating Shandong later on Wednesday, the Sailors will move level by beating the K League 1 outfit in three days' time, finish above them due to a superior head-to-head record and have the six points that should be enough. But it is never that simple and hardly this uncompetitive. In one of those aforementioned shock results, the Sailors already have one win against Daegu -- their maiden triumph in the competition coming on match day 2.
