Basundhara Kings kicked off their AFC Cup campaign with a 3-1 loss against Maziya in Maldives. Kings won their previous two meetings against the reigning Maldives champions but couldn't do it the third time. 

Serbian forward Vojislav opened the scoring for the hosts with a screamer in the 39th minute. Hasan Nazeem extended their lead in the 68th minute with a fine volley burying it in the top bins leaving the keeper with no chance. Ali Fasir scored the third securing all three points for Maziya.
