Svay Rieng had already confirmed their spot in the knockout stage following their 2-1 win over SP Falcons while Madura United had to avoid defeat following a goalless draw with the Mongolian side.

Svay Reing were the early aggressors with Nick Taylor seeing his effort from above the box blocked in the fourth minute but the momentum swung into Madura’s favour eight minutes later.

A poor clearance from Soun Sovann was capitalised on by Lulinha, who played a delightful through ball for Maxuel to strike the ball past Madura keeper Vireak Dara.

The Cambodian side tried to claw their way back three minutes later with Kim Sokyuth seeing his effort from distance sail over the bar while at the other end, Hanis Saghara and Maxuel’s  efforts were foiled inside the box.

Svay Reing refused to give up and were rewarded with the equaliser in the 29th minute with Min Ratanak converting from the spot after Frank Sokoy’s foul on Bounphachan Bounkong.

However, Madura reclaimed the advantage 10 minutes later after an own goal by Mizuno Hikaru, who headed the ball past Dara following a clearance.

Svay Reing came close to drawing level in the 73rd minute after Nhean Sosidan played the ball through for Sokyuth, who delivered a brilliant pass to Cristian, only for Madura goalkeeper Dida to pull off a fine save as the Indonesian side held on for the win.
