AFC Champions League Elite : Yokohama F.Marinos (Japan) 2-0 FC Pohang Steelers (South Korea)Goals from Yan Matheus and Anderson Lopes earned Yokohama F Marinos a 2-0 win over Pohang Steelers at International Stadium on Wednesday as the Japanese side climbed up to third place in the league standings in the AFC Champions League Elite 2024/25.Matheus gave the home side the lead four minutes before halftime and Lopes struck from the penalty spot in injury time as a dominant Marinos move onto 10 points from their opening five games while Pohang remain in 10th in the 12-team standings on six points.John Hutchisons side trail fellow J1 League side Vissel Kobe by three points while sitting three points clear of ninth placed Buriram United in the battle for one of the eight berths in the knockout rounds.It took the home side until the 12th minute to carve out the first clear-cut opening, Hwang In-jae diving to his right to push away a Matheus shot that was destined for the bottom corner.Marinos were in the ascendancy without consistently finding a way through the disciplined Pohang defence and Ryuta Koikes strike that flew high over the bar in the 26th minute summed up their difficulties.Moments later, though, Koike looked like he had set up Takuma Nishimura to open the scoring, only for the forward to drag his shot wide of Hwangs right post with the goalkeeper unable to react.Koike was at the heart of another incisive move as Marinos increased the pressure, releasing Nishimura down the left to deliver a first time ball into the six-yard box that Lopes steered into Hwangs hands.Hwang continued to frustrate Marinos, diving to his right to touch another Matheus effort wide while Lopes headed into his arms when he was given time and space in the 40th minute.It was a mistake from Hwang, however, that set the Japanese side up to open the scoring. The goalkeepers clearance landed at the feet of Matsubara and, after he fed Lopes, the Brazilian picked out Matheus to roll the ball home from seven yards out.A sliding Lopes was inches away from adding a second as he just missed making contact with Nishimuras pass as it flew across the face of goal on the hour mark while Paik Sung-dong pulled his attempt well wide in a rare move forward by the side from Korea Republic.Hwang denied Lopes with his legs and Matsubara fired over the bar from the resulting corner and, with eight minutes remaining, the goalkeeper frustrated Lopes with a point-blank save.Marinos added a deserved second deep into injury time from the penalty spot as Lopes beat Hwang after Matsubara had been brought down in the area by Lee Dong-hyeop while Hiroki Iikura saved Kim Myeong-juns late penalty to deny Pohang a consolation.Story By : Emily Johnson / TTN News AgencyWatch TTN Live On Thaicom Satellite TV C-Band & KU-Band: Available In Thailand : PSI (Thailand) - Channel 113Infosat (Thailand) - Channel 113GMM Z (Thailand) - Channel 113Good TV (Thailand) Channel 113DTV (Thailand) - Channel 113Available In Cambodia :Cambodian DTH UHD Channel 208 Available In Vietnam:VTC Digital - Coming Soon K+ - Coming Soon Available In Myanmar:SkyNet DTH - Coming Soon Available In Laos:Laosat TV - Coming Soon Online Streaming :AIS PLAY (Thailand) Channel 98TrueVisions Now (Thailand) Channel 983BB Giga TV (Thailand) Channel 98Mobile Application :MVTV AppMVHub PlusLoox TVPSI FixItTrue ID Application HappyWatch 99 (Available In Cambodia)Radio : FM 92.25 MHz (Ang Thong Province , Thailand)Radio Online : https://www.gatechaiyoradio.com#TTNLive #TTNLive_TTD17 #Sports #Football #AFCChampionsLeagueElite #AFC #YokohamaFMarinos #FCPohangSteelers
