Widodo's acrobatic goal against Kuwait in the 1996 Finals is one of the best in AFC Asian Cup history and, based on the poll, obviously still very fresh in the memory of Indonesian fans.

From a week of goals, assists and match-winning performances, we’ve whittled the field down to eight nominees, now it’s up to Asia’s football fans to choose a winner.

Iraq’s Justin Meram – who won our inaugural weekly title with 68 per cent of the vote – is again nominated, as are four-goal Tottenham hero Son Heung-min and Charleroi’s outstanding Iranian duo, but which Asian star deserves this week’s award?

Here are our contenders for September 15 to 21:

Doha: Sharjah winger Caio has been voted by the fans as the 2020 AFC Champions League Matchday Five Toyota Player of the Week. In data provided by OPTA, the official data provider for the Asian Football Confederation, Caio had earned a rating of 8.4 for his performance against Al Taawoun in Group C, with the Brazilian scoring once in the 6-0 win.

The reigning champions have already booked their ticket to the next round, and guaranteed the top spot of the group. Meanwhile Shabab Al Ahli sit in third place, a point behind Pakhtakor in second and should they beat Al Hilal, they will still need the Uzbek side to drop points against Shahr Khodro FC.

A bright start to the 2020 AFC Champions League campaign saw Pakhtakor pick up full points from their first two matches back in February, but since the resumption of the competition in Qatar, coach Shota Arveladze’s men only added two more points from their subsequent three games, meaning they go into their final encounter in need of three points to advance to the next round.

Six points were enough to secure the top spot in the three-team group for Al Ahli after Esteghlal and Al Shorta played out a 1-1 draw on Matchday Five.

The Brazilian striker played a starring role in the emphatic win as he notched his hat-trick in the space of 12 minutes as Sharjah maintained their winning form following the 4-2 triumph over Qatar's Al Duhail on Matchday Four.

More importantly for the UAE Pro League side, the back-to-back wins keep them firmly in sight of a place in the Round of 16, with Sharjah facing Persepolis of Islamic Republic of Iran on Thursday.
