Quarter-finals
The draw for the remaining rounds was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 25 May 2010.[7] Because of the country protection rule, if there are two clubs from the same country, they will not face each other in the quarter-finals. Therefore, the two clubs from Saudi Arabia may not be drawn with each other in the quarter-finals. However, the same rule does not apply if there are more than two clubs from the country. Therefore, the four clubs from the Korea Republic may be drawn with each other in the quarter-finals.[8]
The first legs were played on 15 September, and the second legs were played on 22 September 2010.
