Singapore

Brunei's DPMM won their second Singapore Premier League title after second-placed Hougang United's 4-4 draw against Geylang International meant they could no longer catch the league leaders..

DPMM had earlier followed up a 2-0 win over Albirex Niigata Singapore last Tuesday to defeat Warriors 3-0 on Saturday and move three points clear at the top of the standings.

Hougang were the only team that could catch them, but their entertaining 4-4 draw with Geylang left them four points adrift with just one game to play.

DPMM, who have two games remaining, can now enjoy a prolonged celebration with home games to come against Tampines Rovers and Hougang before their season draws to a close in late September.

Myanmar

There was a month-long wait to see who would be crowned champions of the Myanmar National League but it was Shan United, the team from Taunggyi, that claimed their second league title.

Needing to at least match second-placed Ayeyawady United's scoreline, Shan United made sure of domestic glory with a 4-1 win over Rakhine United, rendering Ayeyawady's 6-0 victory against Sagaing United only enough to secure second place.

Yangon United finished in third, running out 6-1 winners over Magwe to end their campaign a futher point behind Ayeyawady.

Thailand

Chiangrai United’s weekend couldn’t have gone any better after the northern Thai side secured a 3-1 victory over Trat on Sunday to take full advantage of Buriram United’s slip up a day earlier. 

Leading Thai League 1 going into the weekend, Buriram lost 3-1 at Muangthong United on Saturday and dropped to second, while Muangthong are now up to fifth. 

At the other end of the table, bottom side Chiangmai lost 2-0 against Prachuap, but Chainat Hornbill did their chances of survival the world of good following a 1-0 win over Sukhothai and only an inferior goal difference to Sukhothai is keeping them in the relegation zone.

Vietnam

Hanoi FC moved to within one victory of the title at the V.League 1 summit after coming from two goals down to record a resounding 5-2 victory over Viettel on Sunday. 

Second-placed Ho Chi Minh City, meanwhile, are now seven points adrift after a 1-1 draw with Nam Dinh and, despite recording a 3-1 win over second from bottom Thanh Hoa, Thanh Quang Ninh are a further eight points back.

Sanna Khanh Hoa drew 1-1 against Hai Phong but remain five points from safety at the foot of the table with just three games remaining.

Indonesia

Bali United remain in a strong position at the top of Liga 1 despite a scoreless draw with Bhayangkara on Friday, with the league leaders still seven points clear with a game in hand. 

Second-placed TIRA-Persikabo played out a 1-1 draw against Persib Bandung a day later while third-placed Madura United also shared the spoils, drawing 2-2 with Barito Putera.

There was finally something to cheer for Persija Jakarta fans as goals from Marko Simic and Rohit Chand secured a 2-1 win over PSIS Semarang to move them out of the bottom three.

Philippines

Ceres Negros’ march towards the title in the Philippines shows no sign of letting up after the Busmen ran out comprehensive 7-0 winners over Philippine Air Force on Saturday. 

Six points back, there was no game for Kaya FC-Iloilo, but perhaps their last chance of catching the leaders comes on Wednesday when the pair face off in a top-of-the-table clash.

Malaysia

Kedah confirmed their place in the 2019 Malaysia Cup quarter-finals following a 3-2 win over Terengganu in Group A, while Johor Darul Ta'zim have advanced from Group B after defeating PJ City by the same scoreline.

Having already sealed their place in the last eight, Pahang lost 3-1 to defending champions Perak, who need a point from their final Group C game against Sabah to also progress. With just one game to go in Group D, Melaka United, Selangor, Felda United and PDRM all remain in the hunt for qualification.

Cambodia

Table-toppers Svay Rieng defeated Bati Academy U-18 7-0 to stay 11 points clear in Cambodia’s C-League, while second-placed Naga World claimed a 3-0 victory over Kompong Cham. 

The real battle looks set to be for the runners-up spot as Visakha beat National Defense Ministry 3-0 to remain behind Naga World by goal difference alone. 

Laos

Lao Toyota secured a 4-0 victory over Lao Police and are a comfortable eight points clear at the top of the Lao Premier League, while second-placed Master 7 also won 4-0 against Lao Army.

The biggest winners last weekend were Young Elephant, who defeated bottom side Evo United 8-1 to remain in third place, a point behind Master 7.
