On the evening of August 13, 2024, Beijing time, the East Asia Zone play-off match of the Asian Champions League Elite League kicked off in front of 20,766 fans, with Shandong Taishan playing against the Thai Premier League team Bangkok United at home. The two teams tied 1-1 in the first half, and neither team made any progress in the second half. After entering the overtime, the game was still tied. In the penalty shootout, Shandong Taishan defeated the opponent 4-3.
Since the advent of the money-driven football, we seem to no longer see Chinese Super League teams defeating Thai Super League teams. Although Bangkok United is currently ranked 6th in the Thai Super League, they made it to the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League last season and lost to Yokohama F. Marinos 0-1 in the quarter-finals. However, Shandong Taishan lost to Yokohama F. Marinos 0-2 in the group stage. Therefore, Bangkok United is also a hurdle for Shandong Taishan.
In the first half of the game, Shandong Taishan team did not play well. It felt like they were not a united team and everyone seemed to be playing with their own ulterior motives.
