Chinese football looked to have hit an all-time low but a glimmer of hope was offered in Tuesday's ACL Elite action.

Without an ill Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia has drawn with Al-Shorta of Iraq 1-1 in the first ever game in the revamped and rebranded AFC Champions League Elite.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant of India and Tajikistan’s FC Ravshan Kulob settled for a share of the spoils following a goalless draw in their AFC Champions League Two 2024-25 Group A tie on Wednesday. Little separated the two sides at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium and both teams will look to improve when they return to action in two weeks’ time with Mohun Bagan taking on Islamic Republic of Iran’s Tractor FC while Ravshan Kulob host Al Wakrah FC of Qatar.
