Brazilian star Oscar shone in Shanghai SIPG's 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory in their Group F Matchday Two tie at Shanghai Stadium on Tuesday.

The former Chelsea midfielder netted a pair of spectacular strikes, one of which - a spectacular curled effort - saw him nominated for the Allianz Goal of the Week.

After more thrills and spills on Matchday Two, the continental competition takes a two-week break, while the-AFC.com takes a look back at some of the key statistics from the week that was.

The home side’s contingent of foreign stars were on fire as they made it two wins in as many matches to get their 2018 AFC Champions League campaign off to the best possible start.

Oscar On Fire

Shanghai SIPG’s record-signing Oscar produced one of his best performances in a red shirt, linking up with fellow Brazilian Hulk and Wu Lei to terrorise the visitors’ defence.

Mostly operating on the left in a 4-3-3 formation, he completed a total of 57 passes at 83 percent accuracy, and also had six shots and six key passes, as highlighted by his passing graph below.

It wasn’t through a lack of trying, however, as both sides created more than enough chances to score, with both goalkeepers also making a number of key saves to keep the ball out.

The graph below shows the shots on-and-off target for both teams, which just highlights the amount of opportunities both teams created on the evening. Cerezo Osaka (left) were most guilty of wasting their chances, with almost all their shots off-target.

Two early goals were enough to seal all three points, but the win wasn’t without a few scares as the home side pushed hard in the second half to claw their way back into the game.

Lively Lee

Midfielder Lee Chang-min was one of the best for the visitors, and it was he who opened the scoring in just the second minute with a powerful effort outside the box.

The 24-year-old was a tireless worker in midfielder, both getting forward and tracking back, as highlighted by his passing graph below, which also shows that a lot of his passes were forward.

The 2011 champions followed up their Matchday One win over Al Wasl with a solid performance against Persepolis at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium, picking up their second straight win courtesy yet another brace from Baghdad Bounedjah.

Bounedjah strikes again for Al Sadd

After coming off the bench to score twice and deliver an Al Sadd comeback win over Al Wasl in Dubai last week, Bounedjah showcased his array of abilities once again with two well-taken goals against Persepolis.

While the first goal had Bounedjah hoodwinking an entire defence with a stealthy run, his second saw him show great composure while facing two defenders head-on, before calmly slotting home to make it 2-0.
