Casas made several saves to deny the Singaporean side to ensure both sides ended Matchday Two of the competition unbeaten and level on four points at the top of the Group H standings.

The draw moves both sides on to four points from their opening two games and keeps them both a point clear of third placed PSM Makassar from Indonesia, who defeated Myanmar’s Shan United earlier in the day.

Bojan Hodak’s side looked set for a comfortable day out when Giancarlo Rodrigues opened the scoring in the third minute, before Yakob Sayuri doubled their lead just after half-time, but a long-range strike Htet Phyoe Wai ensured a tense finish at Madya Stadium.

A last-minute Ferdinand Sinaga goal killed off Shan United’s late revival, confirming their 12th loss in a row in the AFC Cup group stage, equalling a competition record set by Tajikistan’s FC Ravshan in 2014.

Dilshod Bozorov was the hat-trick hero for Khujand, scoring the goal which erased Neftchi’s first leg lead in the 34th minute, before conjuring two more in the second half of extra-time after the aggregate score had been locked at 1-1 after 180 minutes of action.

The result means AFC Cup Group D will feature the same four teams as in last year’s tournament, with Khujand to join Altyn Asyr FC, FC Dordoi and fellow Tajik outfit FC Istiklol.

The second leg ended 3-2 in favour of Bengaluru, with extra-time needed after 90 minutes finished 2-1 in favour of the Indian side.

Maziya had also won the first leg 2-1 and were denied an outright win by a brilliant Sunil Chhetri free-kick in the 120th minute on Wednesday, with the Maldives side having taken the lead on aggregate through Cornelius Ezekiel in the 102nd minute. Away goals were not in play in extratime.

Maziya join India’s Chennai City FC, Maldives’ TC Sports Club and Bashundhara Kings of Bangladesh in Group E of the 2020 AFC Cup.

Bali United came into the Group G tie as favourites but were left trailing by two goals at half-time following strikes from Svay Rieng's Hoy Phallin and Jean Befolo Mbaga.

Spasojevic found the net in the second half but the Cambodian club held firm to earn their first AFC Cup victory.

Nguyen Hai Huy’s goal 20 minutes from time earned the visitors a share of the points after OJ Porteria had given Ceres the lead eight minutes earlier in a see-saw game that had seen Jeremie Lynch’s opener for the Vietnamese cancelled out by Bienvenido Maranon’s penalty.
