As the remaining teams prepare for the two-legged quarter-finals that will be played in March, the-AFC.com takes a look at some facts and figures from the second leg that caught the eye.

Unstoppable Al Nassr
Al Nassr Club’s 1-0 win over FK Arkadag was their eight straight victory this season, with only two sides registering a longer such streak in competition history (Erbil SC – nine games between March 2013 and March 2014; Nejmeh – nine matches between September 2004 and October 2005). Al Nassr are the only side with a 100 percent win rate in the ongoing season.

Al Hussein on a roll
Al Hussein’s 3-2 triumph against Esteghlal FC was their third straight win, equalling their joint longest such streak in the competition. In fact, they have also won three straight home games, their outright longest such streak in competition history.
Duel master
Al Ahli SC’s Sekou Yansane was involved in 25 duels in their 1-0 win over Foolad Mobarakeh Sepahan SC, the joint most by any player in a single game in the ongoing season. However, his duel success rate of 20% is the second lowest among players involved in more than 15 duels in a single game.

Tough to beat
Al Wal's Siaka Sidibe won back possession 17 times against Al Zawraa, the most by any player in a single game in the ongoing season. The last player to win more in a single game was Laotian Phithack Kongmathilath (18 vs Hougang United on 11 February 2020).
Singaporean affair
Hide Higashikawa’s brace for Tampines Rovers FC in the 3-1 win over Cong An Ha Noi was his second this season.

On song
Philipe Maia made 15 clearances against Macarthur FC, the joint most by any player in a single game in the ongoing season and the most by any Bangkok United player in the competition. In fact, teammate Everton - alongside Maia - made 10 headed clearances apiece in the game, the joint most by any player in a single game this season.
'Slow' day for Gamba
Gamba Osaka logged a passing accuracy of 84.6% (468/553 passes completed) against FC Pohang Steelers, their second lowest such rate in a single game this season (79.7% v Pohang Steelers on 12 February 2026). Overall, only Al Nassr (4,533/5,117 passes completed) have attempted and completed more passes this season than Gamba Osaka (4,327/4,952 passes completed).

New record for Persib
It ultimately didn't prove to be enough but Persib Bandung’s 1-0 victory over Ratchaburi was their third straight win at home in the AFC Champions League Two, their outright longest such streak in the competition. In fact, they kept a clean sheet in each of their last three home games, also their longest such streak in the competition.
