WESTERN Sydney Wanderers pinched only their second win of this season’s AFC Champions League (ACL) with a late winner over big-spending Shanghai SIPG in their final group game in Sydney on Wednesday night.

Jaushua Sotirio had a tap-in in the 89th-minute to claim a 3-2 win for the 2014 ACL winners who grabbed a consolation win after failing to qualify for the last 16.

SIPG coach Andre Villas-Boas didn’t risk his Brazil stars Oscar and Hulk given his Chinese Super League giants were already safely through to the knockout stages.

Wu Lei, with a goal just 21 seconds into the game, and Elkeson, with a first-half penalty, scored for SIPG.

SIPG finished second in Group F to Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds, which lost 0-1 to FC Seoul in South Korea.

It means Shanghai faces a mouthwatering all-China last-16 clash against Group H winner Jiangsu Suning with the first leg in two weeks’ time, while Urawa will have Korean opposition in Jeju United.

Japan’s Kashima Antlers ensured they would top Group E — and face a last-16 encounter against China’s two-time ACL champion Guangzhou Evergrande — thanks to a 2-1 win at home to Thailand’s Muangthong United, which is also through.
