MARK Bridge scored the only goal in the eighth minute as Western Sydney Wanderers claimed their first Asian Champions League points with a 1-0 win over Guizhou Renhe in Guiyang.

Daniel Mullen, on debut as part of a revamped back four, had a shot saved from a corner and Bridge was on hand to poke the ball home.

The Wanderers should have gone to the break leading 2-0. Labinot Haliti headed in just before half-time but was wrongly adjudged off-side.

The hosts were poor and jeered by their own fans but got into better attacking positions in the second period.

The Wanderers defence, including Michael Beauchamp, Dean Heffernan and Shannon Cole, held firm and the win moved it second in its group after an opening round loss to Ulsan. Ulsan earlier beat third-placed Kawaski, whom the Wanderers host next week.

Coach Tony Popovic made several big changes after the derby loss to Sydney FC, leaving Ante Covic, Shinji Ono and Brendon Santalab out of the match day squad and Jerome Polenz, Aaron Mooy and Youssouf Hersi on the subs bench.

All three subs played a role as the Wanderers ground out a win in only their second ACL contest.
