Gamba Osaka edged closer the knockout stage of the Asian Champions League with a 5-0 demolition of Indonesia's Sriwijaya on Wednesday.

A double from Leandro put Gamba in the driver's seat shortly before halftime at Expo Stadium and goals from Sriwijaya defender Ambrizal, Satoshi Yamaguchi and Michihiro Yasuda ensured Akira Nishino's side made it three wins out of three in Group F.

On a triumphant night for Japanese clubs, Kawasaki Frontale won by an identical scoreline away to Australia's Central Coast Mariners to stay top of Group H. Frontale have seven points and are two clear of South Korea's Pohang Steelers, who beat China's Tianjin Teda 1-0.
