PKR Svay Rieng drew 0-0 at home to Shanghai Shenhua in the second group round of AFC Champions League Two. Bong Da Plus reported on October 16 that the result brought the Cambodian club its first Group G point.
Attacking numbers do not produce a goal
The source says Svay Rieng used eight foreign players and held 60 per cent possession. It recorded 13 shots, including four on target, compared with Shanghai Shenhua's three attempts and one on target.
Those figures describe activity during the match. The completed score remained goalless, so the statistical advantage did not become either a goal or three points.
The draw improves on Svay Rieng's opening-round 2-0 defeat to Machida Zelvia, allowing it to begin accumulating points in the group.
Qualification remains unsettled
After two rounds, the report places Svay Rieng third with one point. Machida Zelvia leads on six, while Shanghai Shenhua has four.
That gap means the Cambodian side has not established a qualification advantage. Holding the Chinese club does not confirm a place in the next stage.
The article mentions Phnom Penh Crown's separate victory against Gangwon as additional context for Cambodian football. The clubs and matches should remain distinct.
For Svay Rieng, the completed achievements are a first point and a clean sheet. Turning opportunities into goals and adding further results remain subsequent tasks, with the remaining group matches still required to determine progression.
