Full time at Pirtek Stadium, and Western Sydney Wanderers have advanced to the Asian Champions League Quarter-Finals after they defeated Sanfrecce Hiroshima 2-0, to advance on the away goal rule after the tie finished 3-3 on aggregate. Second half goals to Shannon Cole and Brendon Santalab saw the hosts get their crucial two goal win in front of vocal home crowd. The Wanderers will say goodbye to Shinji Ono, Jerome Polenz and Youssouf Hersi after this match, which may mean a very different looking side when the quarter final first leg takes place on 19th or 20th August, with the draw held in two weeks time. They will face either Pohang Steelers, Guangzhou Evergrande or the winner of FC Seoul and Kawasaki Frontale, with the Korean side up 4-2 on aggregate at half time at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. The Canale Cup semi finals are set in stone after tonights quarter finals, here are the final scores: Lions FC 2-1 Logan Lightning Rochedale Rovers 0-2 Peninsula Power Brisbane Strikers 7-1 Ipswich Knights Wolves FC 1-4 Olympic FC This means that Lions FC take on Brisbane Strikers, while defending Canale Cup winners Peninsula Power host current NPL champions Olympic FC, with the winners of these two semi finals not only advancing to the final of Brisbanes Cup competiiton, but also secure a berth in the inaugural Westfield FFA Cup. Thats all from me tonight. Will be back in the morning to recap the UEFA Europa League final between Sevilla and Benfica from Juventus Stadium in Turin, as well as the Matildas open their Asian Cup defence against World Champions Japan from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. On a personal note, this is the last live coverage for nearly two weeks as I am off to Hong Kong for 11 days from Friday. Plenty of photos while I am over there and live coverage of the Group 1 Champions & Chater Cup at Sha Tin Racecourse on Sunday week plus so much more.
