Chengdu Rongcheng almost gained the first away victory for Chinese teams in the ACL in Kobe. After the match, Wei Shihao was clearly frustrated. “We actually played pretty well, and we had chances to win it. That last penalty was really soft,” he said. He also explained why he didn’t look very happy when thanking the travelling fans after the game: “It just felt like a pity. It was our last game of the year, and we couldn’t give the away supporters a win. That’s why I was pretty upset.”
