Group G: Kaya FC-Iloilo (PHI) 1-2 Visakha FC (CAM)

An end-to-end start saw chances for both sides before Kaya forward Arnel Amita headed home the game’s first goal on 30 minutes, only to see Visakha's Ken Chansopheak level things up after the break. The stage was set for a bit of magic to decide matters and it was to come from the Cambodians as Sa Ty's 59th minute rocket settled the tie.

Spurred on by a rapturous home support at Stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta, Bali twice came close in the opening half hour before eventually taking the lead in first-half stoppage time after an own goal from Kedah skipper Ronald Ngah.

Stefano Cugurra’s team dominated the second half and added a second with a little under 10 minutes remaining through substitute Rahmat Syamsuddin Leo, much to the delight of the near-capacity crowd as Bali moved to the top of the early Group G standings.

Luka Cermelj opened the scoring in first half added time, before they doubled their lead eight minutes into the second half through Marko Kolakovic, which proved enough to secure the points for the Uzbek Super League club.

Yodgorov scored in the third and seventh minutes before Tokhir Maladustov sealed the three points with a late third goal that extinguished any hopes of a Kopetdag fightback after Begench Akmamedov scored for them in the second half.

Both sides had chances to win the match, only to be denied by the woodwork as they settled for a share of the points at the Kuala Lumpur Stadium.

Brazilian forward Pedro Paulo was the star of the show on home soil, registering a hat-trick while Hoang Minh Nguyen Duc and Manh Dung Nham added the other two.

The Cambodian side opened the scoring at the quarter-hour mark when Japanese midfielder Yudai Ogawa lined up a free-kick and looked to send it through the defensive wall, but it was deflected behind for a corner that Yeu Muslim curled towards the far post.

The ball bounced off the woodwork and fell for club captain Choun Chanchav to tap it home from point blank range.

The Spaniard scored either side of halftime at a rain-sodden Buriram Stadium after Gil Martins had given Lee Man a 10th minute lead that was cancelled out by Ma Hei-wan’s strike six minutes later.

Eastern’s win gives Roberto Losada’s side a major boost in their quest for a place in the next phase of the competition with only three teams – Chinese Taipei’s Tainan City FC complete the line-up - featuring in Group J due to the withdrawal of Macau’s MUST CPK FC.
