There was an abundance of stunning goals and we invite you – the fans – to pick your favourite with the winning effort to advance to the semi-finals.
Lucas Mauragis, 90+5′
Central Coast Mariners (AUS) v Buriram United (THA)

Hong Yun-sang, 65′
FC Pohang Steelers (KOR) v Shanghai Port FC (CHN)
A quick passing move in a tight penalty box opened up space for Hong to pick his spot and strike home to double Pohang’s lead.
Juan Muniz, 80′
Johor Darul Ta’zim (MAS) v Shanghai Shenhua FC (CHN)
Juan Muniz struck a spectacular free-kick straight into the top corner to cap a handsome first home win of the competition for the Southern Tigers.
Anderson Lopes, 83′
Yokohama F. Marinos (JPN) v Ulsan HD FC (KOR)
Lopes ran almost half the length of the pitch before curling a shot into the bottom corner to seal a big win for Marinos.
Taisei Miyashiro, 14′
Vissel Kobe (JPN) v Shandong Taishan FC (CHN)
Miyashiro rose highest to plant a firm header beyond Wang Dalei from a delightful Takahiro Ohgihara cross to give Vissel the perfect start.
