The opening Group F match in the preliminary stage saw Ritu Porna twice threaten in the first half, but Jurong goalkeeper Hazel Lim denied her headers in the 12th and 21st minutes before also saving efforts from Yu Kasai.

Kasai eventually broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, cutting in from the left following a pass from Ritu Porna and firing through the Jurong defence.
Ayeyawady pulled away after the break, with substitutes Win Theingi Tun and Lin Myint Mo scoring in the 55th and 59th minutes before Win completed her brace in the 78th.
Ayeyawady face Lebanon's No Limits FC on Thursday, while Jurong take on New Taipei City Hang Yuan FC.
