Sanfrecce Hiroshima came from behind to defeat Guangzhou Evergrande 2-1 and claim third place in the Club World Cup.
Luiz Felipe Scolari's men went ahead through former Tottenham star Paulinho as the midfielder turned the ball home with his head, but Sanfrecce came back into the game in the final 20 minutes.
Yusuke Chajima's corner found an unmarked Douglas at the far post for the equaliser, before Asano's looping header hit the bar and Douglas was on hand to turn home the rebound.
