GIANYAR – Bali United The Cambodian club, Visakha FC, were completely helpless after being slaughtered 2-5 in the second match of Group G AFC Cup 2022. According to the coach of Bali United, Stefano Cugurrahis team lost because many of the players looked tired in the match.
The Bali United vs Visakha FC match took place in front of their own supporters, namely at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, on Monday 27 June 2022 afternoon WIB. In this match, Bali United was actually able to control the beginning of the first half.

As a result Visakha FC’s goal coffers began to be created through goals from Paulo Victor (17′ and 63′), Ouk Sovan (45′ and 88′), and Lee Jae-gun (55′). Bali United was only able to add one goal through the feet of Privat Mbarga (85′).
This result is in stark contrast to what they got in the first match. At that time, Bali United won the match after beating Kedah Darul Aman (Malaysia) with a score of 2-0.
Tecco revealed that the match between Kedah Darul Aman FC and Visakha FC was too short. So the players are still physically exhausted.
“Many players have worked hard against Kedah Darul Aman,” Teco opened during the press conference session after the match quoted on the PSSI page, Tuesday (28/6/2022).
“Maybe two days is not enough for us to rest,” he continued.
Meanwhile, according to Tecco, the opponent has a good recovery period. Indeed, their current 2-1 win against Kaya FC took place on Friday 24 June 2022.
Finally, Tecco also apologized to the supporters of Bali United for this unsatisfactory result. He also admitted that the opponent’s game was better than his team.
“We apologize to the fans who came because we lost concentration. The opponent played well and had the quality to score goals for us.”
With this defeat, Bali United could no longer qualify from the group phase with the status of group winners. Now the only way for Bali United to qualify for the semifinals of the 2022 AFC Cup Southeast Asia Zone is by becoming the best runner-up in Groups G, H, and I, which consists of the representatives of the Southeast Asian zone.
