Lee Man met up with Bangkok United in Mong Kok Stadium on Wednesday night (4th December) for the AFC Champions League Two (Group G) clash. The encounter concluded with an 0:0 draw between Lee Man and Tampines Rovers FC.
The opening exchanges saw both sides adopt a cautious approach, with clear-cut chances at a premium. The deadlock was nearly broken in the 27th minute when Lee Man carved out their first real opportunity. Jiloan Hamad’s defense-splitting pass found Everton Camargo in space, but his effort under pressure lacked conviction and was comfortably gathered by Syazwan Buhari between the sticks. Lee Man continued to probe, and on the 29th minute mark, Henri Anier latched onto Tachibana Ryoya's pinpoint long ball, unleashing a fierce left-footed drive that was scrambled clear by the resolute Tampines defense. The hosts threatened again in the 41st minute as Samuel Rosa found himself one-on-one after Everton Camargo’s perfectly weighted through ball, only to be thwarted by the alert goalkeeper rushing off his line. Just before the interval, Tampines Rovers showed their attacking intent when Kyoga Nakamura tested Chan Ka Ho with a thunderous strike from range, but the keeper was equal to it, ensuring the sides went into the break deadlocked.
The second period followed a similar pattern, with neither side able to stamp their authority on proceedings. Lee Man's best chance came in the 76th minute when Everton Camargo whipped in an inviting cross from the right flank, but Samuel Rosa’s glancing header failed to trouble the opposition keeper. Drama unfolded in the 79th minute as Tampines Rovers thought they had broken the deadlock through Yasir Hanapi’s clinical finish following a swift counter-attack, only for the linesman's flag to cut short their celebrations. As the final whistle blew, neither side could find the breakthrough, with honors even at Mong Kok Stadium.
