Al Rayyan suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bahrain’s Al Riffa but that didn’t harm Alves position at the top of the goalscorers’ table. But his inactivity saw Syrian side Al Ittihad’s two-goal hero Abdulfatah Al Agha inch up with four goals.

Another double maker Makhete Diop of Al Nejmeh is on four goals.

Vietnamese outfit Da Nang’s 3-0 win over Hong Kong’s Tai Po saw them take up residence at the top of the goals-scored table with nine. A goal removed from them are Syria’s Al Ittihad. Sriwajaya (Indonesia), Al Rayyan (Qatar) and Nasaf (Uzbekistan) are all on seven goals.

Conceding the most goals are India’s Kingfisher East Bengal though they only suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Kuwait’s Al Qadsia. They suffered heavy defeats in the opening two rounds.

Indonesia’s Persiwa Wamena have leaked nine while Malaysian treble champions Selangor are one goal behind. Singapore’s Geylang United and four others have taken in six goals each.
