Ulsan, which was in second place (6 points, 2 wins, 2 losses), had a gap with Kawasaki Frontale (Japan), which was first in the group (12 points, 4 wins), widened to 6 points, and the possibility of advancing to the round of 16 at the top of the group was diminished.

Johor's Akiar Rashid, who came on as a substitute in the 40th minute of the second half, scored the winning goal two minutes later.

 

Akiar finished Ayman Hanafi's forward pass with his right foot during a counterattack and found the net.
