Elsewhere in ASEAN, A-League leaders Sydney FC drew with Perth Glory, Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta'zim were held at home and Persib Bandung maintained their lead at the top of Indonesia's Liga 1.

There was also plenty of action in Cambodia and Singapore while in East Asia there were FA Cup quarter-finals in Hong Kong and a pair of huge scores in Guam, so join the-AFC.com as we review the latest rounds of fixtures from the two regions.

With 29 goals in just nine matches, there were a number of fabulous performances and the-AFC.com highlights five players who caught the eye in a thrilling couple of days.

Having begun the 2020 tournament on 30 goals, last year's top scorer wasted no time in picking up where he left off, with two goals in an opening-day victory over Cambodia's Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC, before a penalty against Vietnam's Than Quang Ninh saw him move within a goal of former Al Wehdat striker Shelbaieh.

Marañón's double against Bali saw the prolific striker move into pole position and there will likely be many more to follow if he continues in this form. The-AFC.com looks back at his achievement, as well as those of the iconic AFC Cup scorers who the 33-year-old has overtaken in recent years.

Porteria broke through the stubborn Bali defence in the 35th minute before Ceres went on to claim a comprehensive 4-0 win over the Indonesians that ensures Vidakovic’s side remain unbeaten in the group phase of the competition.

Hosts Yangon went into the game at Thuwunna Stadium on the back of a draw against Ho Chi Minh City FC and a win over Lao Toyota FC, and they were by far the better side throughout but missed numerous gilt-edged chances as Hougang sought to hold on for a point.

However, as the match entered its final 10 minutes, Yangon finally broke the deadlock as Maung Maung Lwin played in substitute Than Paing, who produced a calm finish into the bottom left corner with his first-ever goal in the AFC Cup as the home team claimed what could prove a valuable victory.

In terms of scoreline, it looked a close affair at Thuwunna Stadium on Tuesday.

But although Than Paing's close-range finish with nine minutes to go was the tie's only goal, the reality is that this was a match that the hosts controlled for long spells and could － and should － have scored more.
