Al Shabab 4-1 Emirates
Alhassane Keita scored two goals to help Al Shabab overrun Emirates 4-1 in Group D clash of the 2011 AFC Champions League.
The home side were stunned after just five minutes when Emirates took the lead. The UAE outfit won possession on the right and Hadj Bougueche crossed towards Daoudi. The Moroccan striker showed good strength to hold off Walid Abdrabh before turning and firing past keeper Waleed Abdulla.
Al Shabab came desperately close to an equaliser just after the half-hour mark when Hassan Muath got inside the Emirates …

J. League champions Nagoya Grampus let slip a first-half lead as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Korean counterparts FC Seoul in their Group F 2011 AFC Champions League clash.

Tianjin Teda 1-1 Melbourne Victory
Tianjin Teda earned a 1 – 1 draw with Melbourne Victory to maintain top spot in Group E of the 2011 AFC Champions League.
Victory came close to a first goal just two minutes in when Adrian Leijer was just inches away from tapping home. Yu Dabao looked to reply three minutes later, only to see his fierce 30-yard shot fly over the crossbar.
In the 11th minute, Chen back-heeled to Wu Weian down the left and the latter clipped an inviting centre across the face of the …

Bunyodkor 0-0 Piroozi
Bunyodkor and Piroozi did nothing to help their 2011 AFC Champions League cause after the two teams played out a tepid goalless draw at JAR Stadium.
In a game devoid of any clear cut chances, the best fell to Kamoliddin Murzoev after just seven minutes but the forward was unable to capitalise.
Bunyodkor will in all likelihood feel the more aggrieved of the two sides having also had a goal disallowed in the second-half, while Piroozi will be relatively satisfied with a point although they will need to win the …

Al Sadd 1-0 Al Nassr
Lee Jung-soo’s second-half header sent Al Sadd to the top of Group B in the 2011 AFC Champions League after they edged out Al Nassr 1-0 at Al Sadd Stadium.
Lee deftly headed Nadir Belhadj’s corner into the back of the net after 60 minutes for his second goal of the tournament as the Qataris moved on to seven points with the victory, three ahead of their Saudi opponents.
Al Nassr threatened first and in the fourth minute, striker Mohammed Al Sahlwai slipped in a pass to team-mate …

Sepahan 2-0 Al Gharafa
Sepahan made it three wins out of three as goals from Hadi Aghily and Ahmad Jamshidian sealed a 2-0 win over Al Gharafa at the Foolad Shahr.
Following a goalless first-half, the hosts went in front in the 54th minute when Aghily converted from the spot after Ibrahima Toure had been brought down in the box.
Jamshidian then wrapped up the points 11 minutes later when he beat Al Gharafa keeper Qasem Burhan from long range with a swerving strike to leave the Iranians on the verge of a …
