Philippines Football League champion United City received a rude awakening even as Kaya-Iloilo suffered another lopsided defeat Tuesday, June 29 in their AFC Champions League matches held simultaneously in separate locations.
United City was handed a 7-0 beating by K-League side Daegu of South Korea in their Group I match in Tashkent, Uzbekistan while Kaya fell 5-0 to Viettel, the champion of Vietnam’s top division V.League 1, in Pathum Thani, Thailand.
The outcome of both matches was an indication of how the two Filipino clubs are far behind the competition in only their second matches in Asia’s premier club competition.
