Melbourne Victory got off to a winning start as the virus-disrupted AFC Champions League East zone began with a curtailed schedule on Tuesday.

Ola Toivonen put Melbourne Victory in front against Thai champions Chiangrai United in the AFC Champions League. MELBOURNE: Melbourne Victory got off to a winning start as the virus-disrupted AFC Champions League East zone began with a curtailed schedule on Tuesday .

Most Champions League games involving Chinese clubs have been put on hold for two months, extending the group stage and shunting the East zone's round of 16 back to June 16-24. "They made us work for it," said Toivonen."We controlled the first half but we were a little bit anxious in the second. But it's always important to get a good start in the group."

The deadlock was broken three minutes later when Toivonen was pulled down off the ball in the box and the Swedish striker stepped up to convert the penalty.
