J. League champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima surrendered a two-goal first-leg advantage and crashed out of the Asian Champions League on Wednesday night after a 2-0 defeat away to Western Sydney Wanderers in the round of 16.
And Japanese interest in the competition ended an hour later as Kawasaki Frontale won 2-1 at FC Seoul but went out on away goals, the tie finishing 4-4 on aggregate.
A brace by Naoki Ishihara and a stoppage-time strike by Kosei Shibasaki had put Sanfrecce in the driving seat after last week's 3-1 win at Edion Stadium.
