The Turkmenistan club's four goal hero is our pick for the best player in Asia this week..
Going into this week's AFC Cup Group D matchday five fixtures, Turkmenistan's Altyn Asyr knew that they had to win to put pressure on group leaders FC Istiqlol with a win over their opponents, FC Alay.
What transpired on Wednesday was a display of incredible goalscoring from their midfielder Murat Yakshiyev who helped himself to four goals in a 4-1 win that saw them keep abreast with Istiqlol with one more game left in the group.
Yakshiyev showed fantastic instincts inside the penalty box for his goals, redirecting Suleyman Muhadov‘s shot beyond Alay goalkeeper for his first and then steering Arslanmyrat Amanov’s free kick over the line.
