JAKARTA Bali United managed to win a big 5-2 win against Philippine club Stallion FC in the inaugural match of Group G of the AFC Cup at Binan Football Stadium, Philippines, Wednesday, September 20 afternoon WIB.

In this match, Ilija Spasojevic managed to buy two goals, each Bali United's first and last goals. He netted his first goal in the 27th minute, while the other was the last goal in the 72nd minute.

Three minutes after Spasojevic put Bali United ahead, the hosts hit back with Junior Ngong Sam's goal. However, three minutes later Haudi Abdillah gave Bali a lead until halftime.

Eight minutes after halftime, Bali immediately added the score. This time it was Mohammed Bassim's turn to register his name on the scoreboard after continuing his B Private pass.

Bali became increasingly unstoppable after that by scoring a fourth goal born in the 69th minute. This goal was born through Muhammad Rahmat's effort to maximize the bait from Eber Bessa.

Three minutes later, Spasojevic scored his second goal in this match. Stallion reduces the position to 2-5 two minutes before the match's normal time is over.

This result makes Bali United occupy the top position of the standings with a collection of three points. Meanwhile, Stallion had to settle for the final position.
