Here are our picks for this week’s Southeast Asian XI of the week (May 1-7).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper:\u00a0Chatchai Budprom (Chiangrai United)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though Chatchai lost one goal to Bangkok Glass FC, he is the real hero after saving a penalty kick in the last 5 mins to rescue his team from losing the game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Defender:\u00a0Anderson dos Santos (Suphanburi FC)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian defender, who just returned to Thai league after playing in J-league, stopped Ubon attacker all 90 minutes and helped Suphanburi get another clean sheet and unbeaten 10 games in a row.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Center-back:\u00a0Hamka Hamzah (Sriwijaya FC)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hamka scored two goals, including a 90+4 minutes game winning against Bali United. The 34 y.o defender showed his class and became the hero for his team. Final score: Bali Utd 3-4 Sriwijaya FC.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Defender: Fabiano Beltrame (Madura United)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another defender who scored two goals in Liga 1 Indonesia 2018 last week. Fabiano scored two important goals for Madura to outclass Persib Bandung in their home turf, one from the penalty spot, one from a thunderous free kick. Madura Utd won 2-1 at home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Left midfielder: Nik Akif (Kelantan FA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite losing to PKNP in midweek, Kelantan’s 18-year-old midfielder Nik Akif completely ran the show on Saturday night as they bounced back secured their first win under new head coach, Fajr Ibrahim. The youngster was extremely dominant and composed in midfield, and went on to dominate headlines by scoring arguably the best Malaysian Super League goal of the week with a stunning strike from outside the box.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Centre-midfielder: Luong Xuan Truong (Hoang Anh Gia Lai)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scored one beautiful goal for Hoang Anh Gia Lai to help the team secure 1 point at Sanna Khanh Hoa. This is his third goal in this season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right midfielder:\u00a0La’Vere Corbin-Ong (Johor Darul Ta’zim)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Barbados-Malaysian defender was completely superior on Saturday night, as JDT ran out 4-0 victors against Negeri Sembilan. He dominated the left flank, and even scored his first league goal of the season with a cheeky diving header. He was also equally good in mid-week, when JDT outclassed Selangor 2-0 at home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Attacking midfielder: Wander Luiz (Perak FA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian attacker continued his outstanding form by helping Perak secure two hard-fought wins over Melaka United and Terengganu last week. Against Melaka, Wander Luiz scored one. And against Terengganu, he scored a beautiful opening goal, before notching another assist as Perak played some of the best football they’ve played in the Malaysia Super League this year. That win officially took them to the second spot on the table.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Forward:\u00a0Oseni Bolaji (Hanoi FC)<\/strong><\/p>\n

After not scoring in the match against Sai Gon FC, Oseni fired again with the double in the match vs Ho Chi Minh City FC. That took his tally to 10 this season after only 7 matches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Forward:\u00a0Diogo Luis Santo (Buriram United)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian strikers made an assist and scored 2 goals to help Buriram earn a big 4-0 win over rivals Muangthong United.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
