Japan: Vissel reign again
Vissel Kobe came into the second leg with a commanding 5-0 aggregate lead from last week's first leg in Kobe.

After a goalless first half, Kashima midfielder Haruki Hayashi opened the scoring in the 68th minute, guiding a cross into the net from the centre of the penalty area.

Kei Chinen doubled the lead two minutes later, but further goals eluded Kashima as Kobe added to the titles won in 2023 and 2024.

The special competition was arranged to fill a gap in the calendar before the J-League switches later this year to an August-to-June season from the conventional February-to-December schedule.

The first-tier's 20 teams were divided into East and West regions, with the winners of each region meeting over two legs to decide the championship.

Cerezo Osaka finished third after a 3-1 win in the return leg secured them a 5-3 win on aggregate against FC Tokyo.
