ACl Two G’s Grouping Thriller: Lion City Sailors Roar Back to Life, Setting Up ACL Two Group G Grand Finale!

SEMENYIH, Malaysia - Matchday 5 of the AFC Champions League Two (ACL Two) Group G delivered a seismic shift in the standings, ensuring that the final day of group stage action will be a tense, winner-takes-all affair.

The results, a nail-biting 1-1 draw between Bangkok United and Selangor FC, and a dramatic 3-2 victory for the Lion City Sailors over Persib Bandung, have completely reshaped the top of the table and set the stage for a spectacular final push for the knockout rounds.

Qualification: Mission Accomplished

Despite the late-game drama, Persib Bandung and Bangkok United have both officially secured their places in the Round of 16.

The maximum points Lion City Sailors can achieve is 10. Given that both Persib and Bangkok United have already reached 10 points and hold the superior head-to-head records against the Sailors, the Singaporean club is mathematically eliminated from finishing in the top two. Likewise, Selangor FC, earning their first point of the campaign, will conclude their continental journey on Matchday 6.

The final day of Group G action has been stripped of any complexity, transforming into a pure footballing spectacle where only the winner of the top-two clash can secure the coveted first place, unless Persib can hold out for a draw. Football fans across Southeast Asia will be on the edge of their seats for this epic conclusion.
