There are three possibilities for drawing lots in East Asia: 1. Quanjian vs Jeonbuk, Shui Yuan vs Kashima, 2. Quanjian vs Shui Yuan, Jeonbuk vs Kashima, 3. Quanjian vs Kashima, Jeonbuk vs Shui Yuan.
After drawing lots, Teheran Independence VS Sade, Duhail VS Persepolis, Kashima Antlers VS Tianjin Wei Quanjian, Jeonbuk Hyundai VS South Shui Yuan Samsung, the top team played at home first, and the team was named the last team.

He killed Shanghai at home at 3: 1. Although away to Shanghai, but still broke into the AFC Champions League quarter-finals. In this way, Kashima has defeated Shenhua and Shanghai in Shanghai. Now they will face another team in the Super League, Quanjian.
