AFC Statement on AFC Champions League Group Stage matches
Wednesday, January 29, 2020

Kuala Lumpur: After close consultation with the Chinese Football Association (CFA), the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) can confirm that the home matches of the Chinese clubs in the AFC Champions League Group Stage on Match Day (MD) 1, 2 and 3 will be rescheduled to be played as away matches by swapping the match order with opponent clubs.

In the meantime, the AFC will closely monitor the situation before deciding further on the home matches of Chinese clubs on MD4, 5 and 6.

The decision, which was also made in conjunction with the competing clubs from the respective groups, is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of all participating players and teams in view of the current coronavirus outbreak in the People’s Republic of China.

Victory swapping MD3 and 4 with Beijing. Perth and Sydney not directly affected.

Iran's Estaghlel look like they've got it in the bag away to Al Rayyan in Qatar, currently up 0-3 in the 68th minute.

Al Ain (UAE) knocking out Bunyodkor 1-0.

Better luck next year Ceres Negros. One of the teams at the very top of my wishlist for an away trip.

Ceres  negros tske on fc tokyo to see who goes thru to the group stage . 

Shanghai SIPG winning 3-0 over Buriram, apparently a penalty shout for Buriram was waved away late in the game when it was 1-0, but Shanghai are through and Sydney have to contend with Hulk, Oscar and Arnautovic.

Today's play-offs

Shanghai SIPG v Buriram
          FC Tokyo  v Ceres
            Kashima v Melbourne
                  Seoul v Kedah
