2022 AFC Cup: Games to Watch in the Group Stage
Eastern Long Lions vs MUST CPK
East Asian neighbours, it may come as some surprise that this will be the first time clubs from Hong Kong and Macau face each other in the AFC Cup.
Prior to the introduction of the Zonal system in 2017, Macau had never had a representative reach the group stage of the competition. That all changed in 2018 with a hugely impressive debut by Benfica de Macau, a year that Hong Kong sides did not participate in the competition.
With the 2020 edition cancelled before the East Asia Zone could take place, we have to wait until this year to finally see how the sides match up. While Eastern Long Lions will be the favourites, MUST CPK stormed to the Macau title with a 100 percent record and an incredible goal difference of plus 111.
