Zesh & his defensive partner Nando kept Henry very quiet , once Nando was subbed out. Henry got 2 chances as Zesh wasn't that quicl on the turn.
But at the end of the day , they kept a clean sheet , helped by the GK making 2 very good saves & some poor efforts on goal from Henry & Arezou when play into good positions.
Zesh wud do well against the typcial physical foreign strikers in India, but sadly the political BS will ensure he never gets to play here, although why leave Hong Kong to move to India !?
one wonders how did they win the Indonesian Cup...
<br><div><br></div><div>Besides the club's current problem, they are from Indonesia Premier League (IPL), far worse and far less popular league than Indonesia Super League (ISL), and what they won was de-facto IPL cup. </div><div>I haven't heard of any other countries where two different leagues claim they are the nation's official top-tier league. ISL had always been the official and representing league in AFC competition until strangely IPL took it over last year and that's why IPL clubs showed up for the first time in AFC Cup this year. This is all about their political conflict and corruption, and FIFA have consistently warned them to solve the league-split issue. If this continues, Indonesia will be eventually sanctioned. </div>
Just looking at the AFC Cup highlights makes me anxious to see the final rounds. The Myanmar and Maldives clubs will get blown out. Hope I won't say the same for East Bengal.

<br><br>which highlights are you talking about? involving which clubs?<br>
if East bengal play at home, they have great chance aganst winning one of these two teams(New Radiant or Yangon United). That will be round of 16. after that quarter-finals come and familiar West Asia teams like-Duhok, Arbil from Iraq or Al-Qadsia, Al kuwait from Kuwait or even Al-Faisaly from Jordan. They are formidable teams and I dont give much chance to East Bengal. But Yeah reaching quarterfinals will be a big thing.<br>
