Uzbekistan club Fakhtakor Tashgent won a surprise 1-0 victory thanks to Flamarion's first goal in the first half of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) round of 16 home game against Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia) at Fakhtakor Central Stadium in Tashgent, Uzbekistan on the 5th (Korea time).
When you think of the weight difference between the two teams, it can be said to be a major upset. According to sports broadcaster 'CBSSports', Al Hilal's total market value is $187 million (about 270 billion won). Former Wolverhampton, former Lazio, former Barcelona, former Malkong, former Chelsea, former Kalidou Koulibaly, former Manchester City, former Sevilla, and Bunu have all played in the European big league world class.
Neves, who was Hwang Hee-chan's teammate, has the highest market value of 28 million euros (about 43 billion won, Transfermarkt) within the Al Hilal squad.
Fakhtakor's total squad ransom is 12.05 million euros (about 18.7 billion won), less than half of Neves. The total ransom is about 14.4 times different.

In the end, Fakhtakor scored the first goal in the 29th minute of the first half. Riascoz's cross to the right was calmly pushed in front of the gate by Flamarion. Riasco, from Colombia, is valued at 550,000 euros (about 850 million won) and Brazilian-born flamarion at 600,000 euros (about 930 million won).
In the 30th minute of the first half, Fakhtakor's left foot shot was blown away by Bunu. Bunu also blocked the ball in a one-on-one situation with Diyor Kolmatov in the second half. The gap would have widened further if it had not been for Bunu's successive saves at a time when Al Hilal's offense showed its extreme determination.
Al-Hilal, who missed two no-mark header chances in the first and second half, eventually lost 0-1 and became a victim of an unexpected incident.
Al-Hilal advanced to the round of 16 in the ACLE group stage with 7 wins, 1 draw and no loss, and only one win (four draws and 3 losses) to face Fakhtakor, who advanced to the round of 16 in eighth place with a chin-up. The two teams will decide whether they will advance to the quarterfinals or not in the second round of the round of 16 at Al Hilal Home on the 11th.
