#ChallengeLeague - Preview: East Zone Q-finals (2nd Leg)
Kuala Lumpur: The return leg of the AFC Challenge League 2025/26™ East Zone quarter-finals promises to be a spectacular affair.
While one tie will see a team going for broke to overturn a huge first leg disadvantage, the second is finely poised.

The-AFC.com takes a look at how the two East Zone quarter-finals stand.

Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC (CAM) 4 v 1 Phnom Penh Crown FC (CAM)

Moses Dyer gave Phnom Penh the lead in the third minute but what unfolded in the remainder of the tie was amazing as Svay Rieng turned on the power.

Leading their charge was Kwame Peprah, with the forward netting a hat-trick as Svay Rieng roared. Midfielder Patrick was Svay Rieng's other scorer and the reigning Cambodian Premier League champions will be determined to not slip up.

The onus will be on Phnom Penh, last season's AFC Challenge League runners-up, to chase the game, and this will make the return leg an interesting tie.

In fact, Manila Digger should have taken a healthier advantage as the side from the Philippines dominated the tie but failed to convert their chances.

That will give Indonesia's Dewa United hope as they will host the return leg and with their fans backing them, will feel confident of advancing to the semi-finals.
