BG Pathum United secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over Terengganu in the ASEAN Club Championship, propelling them to the semifinals. The match unfolded at BG Stadium on Wednesday evening, marking the conclusion of the group stage action for the tournament this week. Despite needing only a draw to advance, BG Pathum United showcased resilience and skill to emerge as Group A winners.
The match began with both teams demonstrating tactical discipline and strategic play. BG Pathum United, currently sitting 6th in Thai League 1 and trailing 21 points behind the leader, sought to capitalize on their home advantage. Terengganu, however, broke the deadlock six minutes after the hour mark with Akhyar Rashid delivering a stunning individual effort, putting his team ahead.
BG Pathum United responded with an explosive 17-minute blitz in the second half, netting four goals that left spectators in awe. Star forward Raniel equalized in the 71st minute, igniting a surge of momentum for the home side. The team’s offensive prowess was further highlighted as they took a commanding 4-1 lead just 16 minutes later.
Despite Safawi Rasid's two late injury-time goals for Terengganu, which trimmed the deficit and added tension to the closing moments, BG Pathum United's earlier dominance secured their victory. The team's array of talented players, including playmaker Chanathip Songkrasin and international imports such as Raniel, Gomis, and Gakuto Notsuda, played pivotal roles in their success.
BG Pathum United's journey through the group stage remains unbeaten across five matches. Their semifinal berth is a testament to their consistent performance and strategic gameplay throughout the tournament. Meanwhile, PSM Makassar claimed second place in the group with a decisive 3-0 triumph over Đông Á Thanh Hóa.
