Japanese champions, Kashima Antlers, booked their place in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final after defeating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-0 at the Suita City Football Stadium in Osaka on Sunday.

Second-half strikes from Yasushi Endo and Mu Kanazaki set up a last-four meeting for the J. League champions with 2016 Copa Libertadores winners Atletico Nacional.

The host club’s fans, decked in red and black and equipped with giant flags, created plenty of noise throughout the encounter.

A pocket of buoyant travelling Sundowns fans were also keen to make themselves heard.

In the first half, Sundowns looked like they would be causing Kashima problems with their blistering pace.

Khama Billiat went past Gen Shoji on seven minutes before cutting inside the box and playing in striker Leonardo Castro, but the Colombian was unable to make a clean connection.

Billiat was close again moments later for the CAF Champions League winners, forcing Hitoshi Sogahata to make a stretching save after another surging run.

Percy Tau followed up with this as he relentlessly charged through the middle of the park and forced Sogahata to make a strong one-handed stop.

Sundowns – also known as Masandawana – continued to looked the dominant side in attack throughout the first half.

After some nice link-up play, Samuel Mabunda launched a powerful effort from outside the area which looked destined for the top corner, but Sogahata was quick to react again.

After a rather subdued performance in the first half, Kashima started to come to life after the break.

He went close again soon after, but saw his strike hit the top of the netting moments later.

Shoma Doi received the ball in the centre of the area on 56 minutes and while he turned and got his shot off towards goal, his effort was headed away by Tebogo Langerman.

There was more danger in the Sundowns box moments later when Daigo Nishi’s downward header looked destined for goal but Wayne Arendse valiantly headed the ball off the line.

The J.League side continued to put the South African side under pressure and their persistence paid off on 63 minutes.

A Shuhei Akasaki cross from the right found Doi inside the area, who headed the ball downwards for Endo to convert a low strike past Denis Onyango.

The goalkeeper looked to have had a touch of the ball before fumbling it into the net.

On 69 minutes, Kashima captain Ryota Nagaki saw a thunderous strike from range tipped away by Ugandan goalkeeper Onyango.

But Kashima sealed the deal on 88 minutes, with substitute Yuma Suzuki cutting the ball back to Mu Kanazaki, who slotted the ball home.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the victory helped them set up a meeting with South American representatives Atletico Nacional in Osaka on Wednesday.
