Group J: Eastern Long Lions (HKG) 3-1 Tainan City FC (TPE)

Mikael’s first half header put Roberto Losada’s side in control before Sun Him-ming doubled their lead five minutes into the second half. And while Ange Kouame’s individual effort gave Tainan hope, Victor Bertomeu confirmed Eastern’s victory with 17 minutes remaining.

The win was Eastern’s second in a row in Group J following their 3-1 defeat of Lee Man last week, meaning they top the standings and advance to the Inter-Zone Semi-finals.

The win meant Sogdiana sealed top spot in Group E with a perfect record of three wins and they will face Group F winners FC Khujand of Tajikistan in the Central Zonal Final.

Kyrgyz Republic side Dordoi needed to win by at least two goals but similar to their defeat against Kopetdag FC three days ago, they struggled to craft meaningful chances as Tajikistan's Khujand marched into the next round as the Group F winners.

Mohammed Faeez Khan had opened the scoring for Visakha on 20 minutes, but Jordanian forward Al Mardi restored parity just eight minutes later, netted his brace with a set-piece on the brink of half-time, and completed his treble inside the hour mark. Further goals from Fayadh Zulkifli and Ronald Ngah Wanja on the 67th and 76th minute marks ended any hope of an improbable Visakha comeback.

The result means that as Group G winners Kedah will play Indonesia’s PSM Makassar in the ASEAN Zonal Semi-finals, with the winners set to face either Vietnam’s Viettel FC or Kuala Lumpur City of Malaysia in the ASEAN Zonal Final.

After being on top in the opening stages of their final Group G fixture, Stefano Cugurra’s side took the lead through Jajang Mulyana’s close-range header in the 25th minute with a goal that ultimately proved decisive.

Victory, however, was not enough for the Indonesian side to advance to the ASEAN Zonal Semi-finals with Malaysia's Kedah Darul Aman taking the sole spot after defeating Cambodia's Visakha FC 5-1 in the group's later match on Thursday.

KL City captain Paulo Josue scored twice in the span of five minutes before Boris Kopitovic pulled one back for Tampines, as the home side finished second in the standings behind group winners PSM Makassar.

The victory means KL City advance to the ASEAN Inter-Zonal Semi-finals as the best placed runners-up and will face Vietnam's Viettel FC next.

The Vietnamese side finished their group stage with the full nine points to advance to the ASEAN Zonal Semi-finals. Hougang, meanwhile, will have to wait for Group H to conclude later on Thursday to know their fate with the best runners-up from the three groups to also advance.

Having lost their first two matches, both sides had already been eliminated, with Vietnam’s Viettel FC taking the group winner ticket to the ASEAN Zonal Semi-Finals while Singapore’s Hougang United finished second with six points.

The win was Eastern’s second in a row in Group J following their 3-1 defeat of Lee Man last week, meaning they top the standings and advance to the Inter-Zone Semi-finals.
