Tasnim - Fox Sports Asia has picked the 10 best performers from Match Day 2 of the AFC Asian Cup 2019 group stage.

While Mehdi Taremi led the way in the opening 5-0 win over Yemen, it was Sardar Azmoun who stood tallest when the going got tough against a stubborn opposition defense.

He opened the scoring in the 38th minute when he was picked out at the far post by Saman Ghoddos� excellent cross and made no mistake in heading home, but his second was a piece of individual brilliance as he effortlessly barged off two defenders after receiving possession outside the box before neatly finishing past Dang Van Lam.

Azmoun had already scored a goal against Yemen in Team Melli�s opener.

The 2019 AFC Asian Cup is being held in the UAE from Jan. 5 to Feb. 1.
