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.

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.
