Vientiane: A brace from the returning Song Ui-yong helped Singapore's Home United to a much-needed 3-2 win over a brave Lao Toyota FC of Laos on Matchday Four of the 2019 AFC Cup Group H on Wednesday.
It’s been a week of celebrations in the Lao capital for Lao New Year and the home side was aiming to keep the celebrations going as they looked to end their 12-match winless run in the AFC Cup, a streak that dates back to 2016.
The celebrations continued early when the home side took a surprise lead, with Rafael heading home from Saison Khounsamnan’s corner in the 11th minute to give hope to Jun Fukuda and his team.

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.

Khujand: A Dilshod Vasiev brace and a late Jahongir Ergashev penalty secured FC Khujand a 3-1 come-from-behind win over Dordoi FC at 20 Years of Independence Stadium on Wednesday.
Khujand and Dordoi both failed to win their respective opening games in Group D two weeks ago, which only increased the pressure heading into the Matchday Two tie.
A vocal crowd backing the hosts saw Ergashev unleash a curling shot just over the bar in the opening minutes after dancing his way around two Dordoi defenders.

Yangon: A hat-trick from Pape Omar Faye helped Hanoi FC to a come-from-behind 5-2 victory over Yangon United at the Thuwunna Stadium on Wednesday.
Having lost to the Myanmar champions in their previous Group F encounter two weeks ago, the Vietnamese side knew they had to collect all three points to keep alive their hopes of progressing from the group stage, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2014.
With that in mind the visitors made the perfect start when they took the lead in just the third minute when star midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai squared the ball across the box, allowing Pape Omar Faye a simple tap in at the back post.

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.
They were on the front foot early and took the lead in just the fifth minute when captain Nguyen Anh Duc opened the scoring after a nice piece of build-up play between Vo Hoang Quang, Tong Anh Ty and Mansaray.

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.
