First up are the sides in Groups F and H, who will play their Matchday Four fixtures on Tuesday, before the remaining teams in Groups E and G round off the week’s action on Wednesday.

Having crossed the halfway line of the group stage, Matchday Four sees the sides that faced-off two weeks ago trading places with the reverse encounters kicking-off the second half of Groups A to D in West Asia.

Guangzhou Evergrande midfielder Anderson Talisca's two goals in his side's 4-0 win at home to Australian club Melbourne Victory in their Group F Matchday Three clash on Wednesday saw the Brazilian earn this week's accolade.

Talisca's double came in the opening ten minutes of the match at Tianhe Stadium which is the fastest on record since 2013. The exciting attacker also provided 55% of his team's crosses in Matchday Three.

Talisca had a total of five shots on goal and tallied 33 passes to go along with his two goals as he was awarded a 9.3 rating to top the Toyota Player of the Week standings.

Cedric Bakambu (below) likewise shone on Matchday Three with the Beijing FC forward scoring a hat-trick in the Chinese side's 3-1 win at Buriram United.

The former Manchester United midfielder headed home from a corner on the half hour mark to open the scoring, before fellow ex-English Premier League star Graziano Pelle doubled the advantage.

JDT's young talent Safawi Rasid pulled a goal back in spetacular style just before the hour, but Fellaini and his teammates were able to hold out for a crucial win that sees them take hold of second place in Group E.

Chinese Super League champions Shanghai SIPG went behind three times to hosts Sydney FC, but each time Vitor Pereira's hauled themselves back level in an impressive display of resilience.

Siem de Jong's early opener was countered by Lu Wenjun's leveller before goals from Adam Le Fondre and Yu Hai ensured the tie went into half-time at 2-2.

Club captain Alex Brosque looked to have won the game for the hosts with six minutes remaining, but two-time AFC Champions League winner Elkeson fired home in the 89th minute to ensure the points were shared.

Goals from former English Premier League stars Marouane Fellaini and Graziano Pelle handed the Chinese side a 2-0 half-time lead in the Group E clash at Jinan Olympic Sports Centre.

The Malaysian champions rallied after the interval and pulled a goal back through Safawi Rasid’s stunning long-range effort, but defeat leaves them with an uphill challenge to reach the knockout rounds.
