China's Guangzhou Evergrande did enough to move on to the Asian Champions League semifinal stage on Tuesday, securing a 1-1 draw with Kashiwa Reysol at Tianhe Sport Center Stadium to advance 4-2 on aggregate, keeping their hopes for a second ACL title in three years alive.

A 30th-minute screamer by Guangzhou's Huang Bowen canceled out Kashiwa's 1-0 lead, secured by Cristiano after 12 minutes.

The 4-2 aggregate victory saw Luiz Felipe Scloari's Chinese Super League leading team reach the ACL semifinal for the first time since their successful 2013 campaign, bettering their effort from last season that saw their run end in the quarterfinal stage.
