Kashima Antlers (Giappone) - Tianjin Quanjian (Cina) 2-0
Jeonbuk Hyundai (Corea del Sud) - Suwon Bluewings (Corea del Sud) 0-3


Sorprende il tracollo dello Jeonbuk nel derby. A Ovest invece si va invece verso una sfida qatariota anche se il Persepolis ha ancora discrete chances.

Al-Duhail (Qatar) - Persepolis (Iran) 1-0 1-3

Kashima Antlers (Giappone) - Tianjin Quanjian (Cina) 2-0 3-0
Jeonbuk Hyundai (Corea del Sud) - Suwon Bluewings (Corea del Sud) 0-3 3-0 dts (2-4 dcr)

Rimonta riuscita al Persepolis e clamorosamente sfiorata dal Jeonbuk che fallisce con Adriano il rigore del 4-0 a tempo scaduto e poi perde dal dischetto contro i cugini del Suwon.
