Goal fest
The 11 goals scored between Port FC and Beijing FC, which ended 7-4 in favour of the latter, is the third highest in an AFC Champions League Elite match. The record, however, is the amazing 15-0 wins Seongnam FC registered against Persik Kediri in May 2004 and Gamba Osaka against SHB Da Nang FC in March 2006.

Shabab's run ends
Shabab Al Ahli’s 2-0 loss to Al Hilal SFC snapped their joint-longest scoring run in AFC Champions League Elite away games (6 games). In fact, their six shot attempts in the game is their joint third lowest in an away game in the competition since 2013.

Vissel Kobe in fine form
Vissel Kobe’s 3-2 win over Ratchaburi FC marked their outright longest winning run in the AFC Champions League Elite (4 games). They are also on their outright longest scoring streak in the competition (8 games).

Long overdue
The 0-0 draw between Al Sadd SC and Al Ahli Saudi FC was the first goalless stalemate played between a Qatari side and a Saudi Arabian team in the AFC Champions League Elite since August 2014 (0-0 between Al Sadd and Al-Hilal). The draw meant Al Sadd are now winless in their last seven games in the competition (D4 L3), their longest such streak in the competition.

Shanghai Port's away joy
With their 4-2 win over Newcastle Jets FC, Shanghai Port have won back-to-back AFC Champions League Elite away games for just the second time. This was their first away win against an opponent from Australia in the competition, losing three of their previous four such matches.

Felix delivers
Joao Felix (2 goals, 2 assists) was directly involved in four of Al Nassr Club’s six goals against Pakhtakor, making him one of four players to log 4+ goal contributions in a single game in the season. In fact, he is the first player to do so in the competition for Al Nassr since 2013.

Mixed feelings for Pohang
FC Pohang Steelers’ 3-3 draw against Gamba Osaka snapped their five-game losing streak in the AFC Champions League Elite but equalled their longest winless run in the competition (D4 L2 between April 2008 and March 2009).

Double delight for Al Qadsiah
Al Qadsiah Club’s 5-0 win over Al Gharafa SC not only gave them their first clean sheet in the AFC Champions League Elite but was also the joint second highest margin of victory by a side from Saudi Arabia in an away game behind Al Hilal (7-0 vs Al Duhail SC in February 2023).
