Riku Yamane pulled one back just before the hour-mark, but Danilo Boza made sure of the win in the 89th minute.
Al Nassr, meanwhile, claimed a 3-2 comeback win at Damac. Ramzi Solan gave Damac the lead in the 18th minute before Aymeric Laporte equalised seven minutes later.

Yokohama F Marinos vs Al Nassr Prediction
Yokohama have had a disastrous season, finding themselves at the foot of the J1 League. It's a far cry from where they should have been, having been one of the favourites to win the title in pre-season.
Al Nassr, meanwhile, have also not had the best of times domestically and face a battle to secure a top-three finish. Stefano Pioli's side will hope to make amends on the continent and will be expected to advance into the last four.
Playing the game in Jeddah gives Al Nassr an added advantage, and they should claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
