ACL 2017 Rd of 16 - 2nd Leg: Kawasaki Frontale v Muangthong United preview

Published on: 29 May 2017

Kawasaki: Kawasaki Frontale head into the second-leg of the 2017 AFC Champions League Round of 16 tie with Muangthong United on Tuesday holding a commanding 3-1 lead from the first-leg.

Teerasil Dangda put Muangthong a goal up a week ago, but Kengo Nakamura, Yu Kobayashi and Hiroyuki Abe all scored to ensure the Japanese side returned to Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in a strong position to progress to a first quarter-final since 2009.

Despite their fine form in the continental competition, Muangthong have failed to win away from home and lost 2-1 to Kashima Antlers in their last visit to Japan, while unbeaten Kawasaki have now  won three on the bounce.
