Kawasaki Frontale became the first J.League club to reach the knockout phase of the Asian Champions League with a 3-1 victory over Ulsan Hyundai in Group H on Tuesday.

Yu Kobayashi and Yoshito Okubo struck in the opening half, with man-of-the-match Jeci closing the scoring late as Frontale finished second in the group behind Western Sydney Wanderers on goal difference, qualifying for the last 16 for the first time since 2009.

Wanderers beat last-place Guizhou Renhe 5-0 at home. Kawasaki meet the winner of Group F, which includes Sanfrecce Hiroshima, in a home-and-away tie.
