Groups F and H are up first when they take to the field on Tuesday, while Group G will follow suit on Wednesday as the group stage of the Continental competition approaches its midway point in Southeast Asia.

Giancarlo’s first half goal gave PSM an early lead before strikes from Yakob Sayuri and Ferdinand Sinaga, in between Htet Phyo Wai’s consolation, sealed a 3-1 win for the Indonesian side.

PSM are third in Group H behind leaders Kaya FC-Iloilo of the Philippines and second-placed Singapore’s Tampines Rovers FC, who played out a 0-0 draw in the group’s other fixture on Wednesday.

Having lost their opening game 4-0 against the Philippines’ Ceres Negros, Svay Rieng were looking to bounce back when they welcomed the Indonesian champions to Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium, and they did so in style.

Midfielder Phallin opened the scoring in the 12th minute with the C-League club’s maiden goal in the competition before the prolific Befolo Mbarga doubled the advantage soon after and, although the visitors pulled a goal back in the second half, Svay Rieng were able to hold on for the three points.

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.

Having shared an action-packed 2-2 draw with Yangon United in their bow on the Asian stage a fortnight ago, there were goals galore again for Ho Chi Minh City although this time they returned home with all three points after an exciting 3-2 win at Jalan Besar Stadium.

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.

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.
