Group G: Melbourne City fall short despite win over United City

Melbourne City #MelbourneCity

Urawa, who missed the last two editions of the continental showpiece, registered their fourth win of the campaign at the Buriram City Stadium to take their place among the elite sides in the knockout stage. 

For the second successive match, the Thai League side had the opportunity to advance to the Round of 16 with a win, and for the second time they failed to take advantage, but Melbourne City’s 3-0 win over United City later on Sunday wasn’t enough to overhaul them in top spot in Group G.

With nothing less than three points securing their passage from Group I, the Southern Tigers displayed remarkable resolve to become the first Malaysian club to reach the Round of 16 since the start of the AFC Champions League™ era.
