FC Seoul is not finding a way out. It also failed to rebound in the Asian Club competition in China.
Seoul tied 0-0 without scoring in the fourth home game of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage of the 2025-2026 season against Chengdu Longcheng (China) at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 4th. Seoul, which lost 1-3 in the 35th round of the K League 1 against Daejeon Hana on the 1st, finished the game with deep regret for two consecutive games. In conjunction with the previous defeat against Shanghai Shenhua (0-2 loss), it had no wins in two consecutive games in ACLE, with only five points (1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss) in four games. The ACLE League stage must be ranked at least 8th out of 12 teams in the eastern region to advance to the round of 16. A position where we have to aim for a turnaround after Game 5.
Seoul deployed a number of key players in the match, which will take place three days after the match against Daejeon. Tall striker Chun Sung-hoon took the lead in the attack, while Lingard, Andersson and Jung Seung-won built the second line of attack. Lee Seung-mo and Hwang Do-yoon defended the midfield, while Kim Jin-soo and Park Sung-hoon and Choi Joon lined up as four backs. Kang Hyun-moo wore goalkeeper gloves.
Led by Korean coach Seo Jung-won, Chengdu countered by using a large number of K Leaguers, including Felipe, Timo, and Romulo, who are from Busan. Kanchao, Li Yang, Dong Yanfeng, Yahav, Tim Chow, Huhetao and Giantao were also listed in the starting lineup.

A careful search was conducted early in the first half. Seoul failed to create a proper chance due to continued pass misses and discord in the opponent's final third area. In the 5th minute, Chun Sung-hoon's header fell into the opponent's goalkeeper's arms without power. In the 22nd minute, Chengdu's bold mid-range shot from Yahav floated over the net. 23 min An unexpected variable occurred in the Chengdu. Playmaker Homulo called for a replacement due to leg pain. 'The naturalized player' was put in a hurry.
Seoul had its first critical chance in the 37th minute. Lingard connected a pass to Andersson, who turned left in a counterattack, and ran in the direction of the opponent's goal. Lingard, who was handed a timely pass by Andersson, tried to shoot with his right foot after peeling off the defense with a folding motion in the middle direction, but he swallowed the disappointment by leaving the post. Timo's mid-range shot in the first minute of extra time and Felipe's left-footed turning shot in the second minute were all ineffective. The first half ended without a goal.
Both teams took out a replacement card at half-time. Seoul tried to change the midfield by putting Ryu Jae-moon instead of Hwang Do-yoon. Chengdu put in Liao Rongxiang without wingback Hu Tao. In the 6th minute, Seoul took the opportunity to attack with a pass play for the first time in a long time. Lee Seung-mo's ball was missed and went wide of the net. Fifteen minutes Felipe's header went off the post. In the 18th minute, Andersson quickly broke down the Chengdu defense wall with Jung Seung-won and Lee Dae-il passes. Andersson swung his left foot to near post at the left point of the goal area. However, Andersson's shot went straight to the goalkeeper and was in vain.

Seoul stepped up its offensive in the 21st minute by dispatching Cho Young-wook and Moon Seon-min without Chun Sung-hoon and Lee Seung-mo. In the 28th minute, Chengdu broke the net first. Felipe beat Jung Seung-won with a reckless penetration and caught the ball and hit the net with a left-footed shot. However, the referee canceled the score after deciding that Felipe had committed an attacker foul on Jung Seung-won before shooting. 35 mins, Andersson is out and Lucas is in. In the 36th minute, Moon Sun-min connected Kim Jin-soo's left cross with a left-footed non-stop shot from the front of the box, but it went over the net. The match ended in a 0-0 draw.
