Hong Kong football champions Kitchee have made a winning start on their return to the Asian Champions League.
They pulled off a 2-0 win over Port FC in Thailand under rainy conditions thanks to goals from Beto and Dejan Damjanovic.
Damjanovic scored Kitchee’s second goal to match Lee Dong-gook’s record for most Asian Champions League goals with 37.
The Thai city of Buriram is hosting all of the Group J matches being played in over two weeks.
In the same group, the J-League side Cerezo Osaka defeated Guangzhou FC 2-0.
Kitchee face Cerezo on Sunday.
Kitchee are playing in the Asian Champions League for only the second time. In 2018, they recorded one win from six games.
