Today's score: "Ratchaburi" lost away to "Persib Bandung" but still advanced to the ACL2 quarterfinals for the first time.
On 18 Feb 2026 GMT+7, the AFC Champions League 2 2025-26 season round of 16 second leg saw Ratchaburi FC, second in Thai League 1, visit Persib Bandung, leaders of Indonesia's top league.
Before kickoff, "The Dragon Kings" Ratchaburi FC held a strong advantage after a commanding 3-0 home win over Persib Bandung in the first leg last week.
In the first half, the 40th minute, Persib Bandung took the lead 1-0 from a close call near the left sideline, where Ratchaburi's defense attempted to clear but the ball went to Andrew Jung who scored.
Initially, the assistant referee flagged offside, but after a VAR review, the referee reversed the decision and allowed Persib Bandung's goal, judging the attacker was in line with Ratchaburi's last defender.
In added time at 45+6 minutes, Persib Bandung was reduced to 10 men as William Barros received a direct red card, but they still led 1-0 going into halftime.
No further goals were scored in the second half. The match ended with Persib Bandung beating Ratchaburi FC 1-0, but with a 3-1 aggregate, "The Dragon Kings" advanced.
This victory marks Ratchaburi FC's first time reaching the last eight in an Asian club competition. They will face the winner between Gamba Osaka (Japan) and Pohang Steelers (South Korea).
