Kawasaki Frontale booked their spot in the knockout phase of the Asian Champions League thanks to a 4-0 thrashing of Group G foe Eastern SC of Hong Kong on Tuesday night.

Brazilian striker Rhayner got the ball rolling with the first goal in the 28th minute before Shogo Taniguchi's header extended Kawasaki's lead on the stroke of halftime.

Substitute Tatsuya Hasegawa grabbed the third early in the second period before Tatsuki Nara wrapped up the win in the 53rd minute. Frontale finished top of Group G and will face either the Kashima Antlers or Thailand's Muangthong United in the round of 16 later this month.
