Foolad lost their chance at qualifying to the Round of 16 as group winners after falling to Al Sadd SC on Matchday Five, leaving the Islamic Republic of Iran side third in the standings on five points with the Qatar champions leading with 10.

Foolad, however, can still qualify as one of the three-best runners-up but must beat Al Wehdat with a high number of goals and hope Al Sadd defeat Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr to have a chance.

From cheeky finishes to flying headers and electric counter-attacks, the Matchday Five games saw some fine contenders for the accolade.

We've selected five of the best goals for you to choose from in the poll at the foot of the article.

With Qatar’s Al Duhail SC having suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Al Shorta of Iraq in the group earlier match on Tuesday, Al Ahli Saudi and Esteghlal went into their tie at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium knowing victory would place them in pole position to win the group and seal the sole automatic ticket to the Round of 16.

Instead, the 90 minutes ended in a stalemate, with both tied on eight points with Al Duhail going into Matchday Six on Thursday.

Dzhalilov struck in the last minute of stoppage time to secure all three points for Istiklol, keeping the Tajikistan champions at the top of Group A with 10 points, with the captain also praising his teammates on following their game plan.

Al Hilal showed no signs of carrying the effects of the 4-1 Machday Four defeat to FC Istiklol as goals from Luciano Vietto, Bafetimbi Gomis and Yasir Al Shahrani sealed victory against AGMK at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium.

The three points took Al Hilal to 10 points, level with FC Istiklol with the Tajikistan side topping the table on a better head-to-head with the Saudi side.

The Al Duhail head coach could only watch bemusedly as the already eliminated Al Shorta claimed their first points of the campaign thanks to goals from Amjed Attwan and Mohammed Dawood.

While the Iraqi side had every reason to celebrate their victory, the result was a body blow to Al Duhail’s Round of 16 chances, with the Qataris tied on eight points with Islamic Republic of Iran’s Esteghlal FC and Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli Saudi FC going into Matchday Six.

Al Wehdat, already eliminated going into the Group D tie at the King Saud University Stadium, scored through Ahmad Zreik (44th) and Abdou N’Diaye (72nd) with Abderrazak Hamdallah’s penalty in added time a mere consolation for 2020 AFC Champions League semi-finalists Al Nassr.

Not only did the result dent Al Nassr’s Round of 16 hopes but it also meant that Al Wehdat marked their debut campaign in the AFC Champions League with a win.
