Chonburi played in the first AFC Champions League in 2008, drawn against Japanese champions Gamba Osaka. On March 20, 2008 the club achieved its first victory in the AFC Champions League against the highly fancied Melbourne Victory.[1] The game was clouded by controversy when Melbourne Victory scored their only goal whilst a Chonburi FC player was down injured and his teammates were calling for the ball to be played off the park. It mattered little when Cameroonian striker Baga scored a goal from 35 yards out and then followed it up with a second goal in extra time to condemn the Melbourne Victory to their first loss in the competition 3-1.[2]
