Having scored a brace against FC Seoul, Chiangrai United's Bill has been voted by the fans as Toyota Player of the Week after leading his side to their first ever victory in the AFC Champions League as his team secured a 2-1 win.

The stunning performance delivered by the Brazilian got him an 8.2 rating that came as a result of finding the back of the net twice from three shots on target besides completing 26 passes.

Following his historic double, Bill got the most votes from the fans as Player of the Week as he managed to score his team's first continental goal and gifted his team their first victory in the group stage with his second strike in the 89th minute.

Jonathan Viera secures second place

 Beijing FC's Jonathan Viera came in second place after Bill with a rating of 8.1 as the Spanish playmaker played a crucial role in his team's 2-0 triumph over Melbourne Victory.

The former Valencia player left his mark on both goals against the A-League side as he scored the opener nine minutes before providing a 35th-minute assist for his teammate Zhang Yuning, who managed to double the lead.

With an 8.0 score, Yoon Bit-Garam of Ulsan Hyundai made it to the top three in the official rankings as the Korean midfielder was highly involved in his team's attacking build-up. He had 98 touches and registered 94.1% passing accuracy from 85 passes in Ulsan's 2-0 win over Perth Glory.
