In Australia, normal service was resumed as Sydney FC responded well to their AFC Champions League disappointment, while four teams maintained their perfect starts in Thailand.

With games also taking place in Myanmar, Cambodia and Guam, join the-AFC.com as we review the best of the action.

A new-look Makassar side without the likes of Marc Klok and Eero Markkanen – both key in helping the team reach the 2019 ASEAN Zonal semi-finals – lost 2-1 against Singapore’s Tampines Rovers on Matchday One two weeks ago.

But with a number of the players making their maiden AFC Cup appearances for Makassar, Ferdinand remains optimistic about his side’s prospects in the 2020 campaign.

Yokohama F. Marinos forward Teruhito Nakagawa netted a brace to help the J.League champions ease past Australia's Sydney FC 4-0 at home in Wednesday's Group H tie as the 27-year-old picked up this week's top player plaudit.

Nakagawa's two goals came from two shots on target, with his first effort, a deft chip over Sydney FC goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, nominated for Goal of the Week. The wide forward also created three chances for his teammates.

Ado Onaiwu and Teruhito Nakagawa scored a brace apiece as Marinos backed up their opening day Group H win over Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors with a comprehensive dismantling of the runaway Australian league leaders and Postecoglou was delighted his side claimed the goals he felt their showing deserved.

Having put five goals past Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim in their AFC Champions League debut on Matchday One, it was a far different test for Vissel Kobe at Suwon World Cup Stadium with two-time Continental champions Suwon proving a tough hurdle to scale.

Indeed, a goalless stalemate looked the most likely outcome until an incisive Sakai run and cross from the left found Furuhashi sliding in to stab home in stoppage time.

Due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, China PR are unable to play in the People’s Republic and instead will now play their home match against Maldives on March 26, 2020 at the Chang Arena, Buriram in Thailand.

In addition, the Guam FA has agreed that its home tie against China PR on March 31 will also be staged at the same venue.

On Wednesday, Ange Postecoglou’s side followed up an away win at former champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors by dismantling Sydney FC 4-0 in Japan to move six points clear at the Group H summit.
