Elsewhere, Monterrey reached the last 16 by thrashing Urawa Red Diamonds, which was out of contention, and Fluminense advanced following a goalless draw that ended Mamelodi Sundowns' campaign.

In Cincinnati, Daniel Svensson's first-half goal gave German club Borussia Dortmund a 1-0 win over South Korea's Ulsan. Sweden international Svensson broke the deadlock in the 36th minute as he took a touch to control Jobe Bellingham's pass before firing low past Jo Hyeon-woo.

Both teams appeared to lower their intensity in the second half as temperatures reached 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) at TQL Stadium.

"The only thing we could have done a little better was maybe score a few more goals because we created a lot of chances today," Svensson said.

"Football is emotional. It was very nice to score the goal that turned out to be an important one. It's a nice feeling," he added.

Ulsan goalkeeper Jo said his team had suffered in the conditions and expressed his disappointment for the club's supporters.
