  "account": "Kuching City cannot afford another mistake in the AFC Champions League Two (ACL2) as they seek to regain momentum in their Group H campaign against Kitchee at Taha Ariffin Stadium on Thursday. Aidil Sharin Sahak's team suffered a loss in their opening match away to Phnom Penh Crown, leaving them without a point and at the bottom of the group. Their crucial home match against Kitchee holds the key to their aspirations for a strong challenge. Kuching recently triumphed 4-1 on aggregate over Kelantan City, earning their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals, but Aidil emphasized that domestic success alone is insufficient in Asia. The Singaporean coach highlighted the need for his players to demonstrate greater discipline and rectify simple errors that could provide opponents with an advantage. He stated, \"We did make mistakes at certain points in the match, but as I have said, these are the things we want to correct and improve. We cannot repeat simple mistakes that allow opponents to score and bring down the team's morale.\" Aidil has consistently demanded high standards, and he stressed that the team cannot be content with their current position. To stay on track, Kuching must convert their home advantage into points.",
