BEIJING Guo'an and Uzbekistan's Bunyodkor sealed their places in the AFC Champions League knockout phase when they both ended the group round with draws yesterday.
Beijing ground out a 0-0 scoreline against Japan's Sanfrecce Hiroshima, which was already eliminated, while Bunyodkor's game with Pohang Steelers finished 1-1.
The results mean Bunyodkor finish top of Group G with 10 points, ahead of Beijing in the second qualifying spot.
Australia's Central Coast Mariners also reached the knockout phase for the first time despite being thrashed 3-0 by Kashiwa Reysol.
Second-half goals left the Mariners with their hearts in their mouths but Suwon Bluewings did the Australian side a favor by hanging on for a 2-2 draw with China's Guizhou Renhe. Guizhou equalized in the 87th minute but it could not find the all-important winner.
