They lost six outings. <\/p>\n<p>The quartet also lead the goals record  after pumping in 49 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Only two Japanese sides &#8211; Gamba Osaka  and Kashima Antlers &#8211; might have advanced to the next round, which is a  one-off elimination match, but they finished only five points behind the  Korean teams on 45. Their goal tally is also five less than those of  the leaders. <\/p>\n<p>In third place are Iran\u2019s four teams, three of  which made the cut. Tehran giants Esteghlal, Zob Ahan and Mes Kerman  (who clash with each other in the R16) posted 41 points (12w, 5d, 7l).<\/p>\n<p>But,  surprisingly, Iranian teams failed to pick the maximum points on offer  and they finished fourth on this list. The honour of third place behind  Japan (45 out of a maximum of 72) goes to Qatari teams &#8211; Al Gharafa, who  qualified for the elimination phase, and Al Sadd, who didn\u2019t .<\/p>\n<p>From  the available 36 points, Al Gharafa and Al Sadd did well to garner 21  points.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Arabia have two teams &#8211; Al Hilal and Al Shabab &#8211;  in the R16 but their four representatives collected 35 points from 24  matches (12w, 5d, 7l), scoring 35 goals. They also have a not-so-good  record in picking up the maximum points possible &#8211; just 36 out of 72.<\/p>\n<p>Another  country which had four clubs in the running was China but only one &#8211;  Beijing Guoan &#8211; crossed the hurdle. The four outfits raked in 22 points  (out of 72 on offer), scoring 25 goals.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore (Singapore  Armed Forces FC) and Indonesia (Persipura Jayapura) had one team each  playing in the group stage and they managed just four and three points  respectively out of a maximum of 18.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 280 goals were  scored in 96 matches, which averages out to 2.92 per game for the 32  teams.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ACL 2010 \u2013 Country by country record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"
