AFC Champions League Elite
Korea Republic's Gangwon ended Matchday Two in fifth place while Japan's Vissel Kobe are the only side in the East Zone with a perfect record after two games.
Having opened their campaign with a morale-boosting 2-1 win against Shanghai Shenhua FC, Gangwon came crashing down to earth on the following matchday as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chengdu Rongcheng FC.
Vissel Kobe will be another tough test but Gangwon will be fired up for the challenge in what will be a first meeting between the two sides.

#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday Three
Vissel Kobe had Koya Yuruki to thank for them still being perfect, with the midfielder netting the only goal of the game against Melbourne City FC three weeks ago in the fourth minute of time added on.
The back-to-back Japanese champions, however, have been defensively resolute with no goals conceded and this will be a major test for Gangwon.
