Down 2-1 with just three minutes on the clock, Madhi Javid's strike took the game into extra-time and Farhad Fakhim struck the winner in the 44th minute as Islamic Republic of Iran's Mes Sungun - who will face AGMK FC in the semi-finals - kept their hopes of back-to-back titles alive.

Mes Sungun were defeated 3-2 by Nagoya Oceans in their group stage meeting - the first loss the Islamic Republic of Iran side have suffered over two editions of the AFC Futsal Club Championship - and they are desperate to retain the title to make up for that loss.

AGMK have another reason in wanting to extend their campaign - this is the first time the Uzbekistan club have advanced to the knockout stage in four appearances and they want their dream run to continue.

Oceans, having reached the semi-finals six times in eight AFC Futsal Club Championship appearances, will rely on experience against a Thai Son Nam side who ended the Japanese club's campaign in the 2018 quarter-finals.

AGMK's reward is a semi-final against defending champions Mes Sungun Varzeqan, with the Islamic Republic of Iran side having defeated Lebanon's Bank of Beirut 3-2 in their quarter-final earlier on Wednesday.

Thai Son Nam will face three-time champions Nagoya Oceans, who defeated Vamos FC 3-1 in their quarter-final , in Thursday's semi-finals.

Nagoya Oceans will face Thai Son Nam in the semi-finals on Thursday and it will be a grudge match with the Vietnamese club having eliminated the Japanese side in the quarter-finals last year.

With less than a week to go before the tournament begins at the Bangkok Arena on August 7, the-AFC.com takes a trip down memory lane as we look at the winners of the previous nine editions of the AFC Futsal Club Championship.
