Bacolod City: Indonesia's PSM Makassar rose to the top of Group H on Matchday Four of the 2019 AFC Cup after beating Kaya FC-Iloilo 2-1 with two first-half goals on Wednesday.
In what was a clash of Group H’s top two teams, the game handed the winners the chance to open up a three-point lead on the losers and in turn secure the potentially important better head-to-head record.
A handball by Kaya defender Jalsor Soriano opened the door for Makassar in the 14th minute but a well-worked free kick came to nothing as Muhammad Rachmat’s pass into the penalty area narrowly avoided finding Eero Markkanen just a few yards out from goal.

Amman: Jordan's Al Wehdat came back from a goal down to salvage a 1-1 draw against Al Jaish of Syria, courtesy of Hassan Abdel Fattah's late second half strike on Matchday Four of the 2019 AFC Cup Group A on Tuesday.
Al Jaish were unbeaten this campaign going into the match while Al Wehdat had not conceded on home soil in the 2019 AFC Cup.
Saeed Al Murjan set up Bahaa Faisal with a through pass and the Jordanian international striker advanced on goal, but fired high from a narrow angle in what was Al Wehdat’s first real chance 16 minutes into the match.

Thu Dau Mot: A second half hat-trick from Victor Mansaray helped Vietnam's Becamex Binh Duong keep their hopes of progressing to the 2019 AFC Cup ASEAN Zonal semi-finals alive after a comfortable 6-0 win over Myanmar’s Shan United FC on Tuesday.
Sitting third in Group G coming into the clash, the Vietnamese side were looking to repeat their success from Matchday Three when they defeated Shan United 2-1 in Yangon.
