The Saudi Arabian side was crowned the champion of Asia, becoming the 25th different side to win the competition, after a dominant performance in Jeddah.

Galeno curled home a delightful strike from outside the area after 35 minutes, the Brazilian whipping into the top-right corner with a dipping strike from Roberto Firmino's simple offload.

Firmino was again the creator seven minutes later when his lofted right-sided delivery found Franck Kessie to thump a header beyond Louis Yamaguchi from close range.

Kawasaki, which dumped Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr out in the semi-finals, was unable to cope with its opponent and offered little threat throughout, failing to register a single shot on target all game from its seven attempts.

The victory makes Al-Ahli the third club from Saudi Arabia to win the continental title after previous successes by Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad.
