ASIA 

It was a no-show in Korea last week for our Asian Aussies Abroad. Adam Taggart (Suwon Bluewings), Rashid Mahazi (Incheon United), Jason Davidson (Ulsan Hyundai) and Bernie Ibini (Jeonbuk Hyundai) were all absent from their squads. Luckily all teams won their matches except Mahazi and Davidson's sides playing out a 3-3 draw.
