Club World Cup semi-final

Result: Atletico Nacional 0-3 Kashima Antlers

Date: 14 December 2016

Venue: Suita City Football Stadium

After beating Mamelodi Sundowns in the quarterfinal, Kashima Antlers continued their fine run at the FIFA Club World Cup to book a place in the final.

The Japanese champions secured a 2-0 victory over the Absa Premiership champions on Sunday to secure their spot in last four.

Antlers were awarded a penalty after 33 minutes thanks to the help of the Video Assistant Referees that captured Orlando Berrio brought down Daigo Nish. Shoma Doi stepped up and converted the spot-kick.

The Colombians did have chances of their own, with Jhon Mosquera striking the woodwork on two occasions.

The Japanese outfit had to wait until the 83rd minute for the next goal when Endo bagged his second of the tournament with a fine back-heel.

The result was sealed two minutes later as Ryuga Suzuki turned home Mitsuo Ogasawara's cross from six-yards out.

Antlers became the first Asian side to qualify for the Club World Cup final, where they could face Real Madrid or Club America.
