We have picked four stars who stood out from the rest and now ask you, the fans, to vote for the one performer who deserves to be the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 Matchday Five Player of the Round.
Do not forget to cast your vote below!
Teerasil Dangda (Thailand)
Teerasil Dangda scored his 23rd and 24th goals in the AFF Championship to guide defending champions Thailand to the semi-finals of the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022 with a 3-1 win over Cambodia. The veteran striker opened Thailand's scoring from the penalty spot and then wrapped up the 3-1 win with a superb strike from the edge of the area. The double also meant he is now the tournament's outright leading goalscorer with five goals from four matches.
Stephan Schrock (Philippines)
Stephan Schrock called time on a brilliant international career after the Philippines' Group A game against Indonesia. Though the 36-year-old's farewell game did not end in a win for the young Azkals side, Schrock was one of the standout players on the pitch, providing two key passes and an assist from which young striker Sebastian Rasmussen scored the Philippines' consolation goal seven minutes from time. What a career it has been for the captain, leader and legend of the Azkals.
Pratama Arhan (Indonesia)
Pratama Arhan's biggest contribution as Indonesia booked a place in the semi-finals was his assist that led to the opener. The 21-year-old full-back's long throw into the box was headed home by Dendy Sulistyawan to give the Garuda an important lead in their final Group A fixture. The Tokyo Verdy youngster, who was key to Indonesia's run into the final of the 2020 edition, is once again proving to be a integral cog in defence and attack as his side gun for a much-awaited maiden AFF Championship title.
Stuart Wilkin (Malaysia)
Born in England, Stuart Wilkin only made his Malaysia debut last month. But he is fast turning into a key figure in Kim Pan-gon side's midfield. On Tuesday, he scored twice to help the Harimau Malaya overcome Singapore in a must-win game and book a place in the semi-finals. His first was a stunner from distance that beat Hassan Sunny in the Singapore goal. The second was one of beauty as he displayed excellent ball control and trickery to make space inside the box and finish for his third goal of the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022.
