The Lion City Sailors have been awarded a 3-0 victory in their Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) Two Quarter-Final first-leg match against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, following a ruling by the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee.

The original result of the match at the Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima on 5 March was overturned after Sanfrecce were deemed to have fielded an ineligible player.

The Sailors will now head into the return leg at Jalan Besar Stadium next Wednesday (12 March) with an advantage, as they aim to become the first Singaporean club to reach the ACL Two semi-finals.
