Note:
 Venue: Tokyo    = Tokyo National Stadium (in Tokyo)
        Toyota   = Toyota Stadium (in Toyota, Aichi)
        Yokohama = International Stadium Yokohama (in Yokohama, Kanagawa)
 "International Stadium Yokohama" is called as "Nissan Stadium" in usual,
 but FIFA bans the name under the naming rights deal in its tournament.
 On the other hand, Toyota City was changed its name in 1959, so there is
 no problem about the name of stadium.
 The times of kick-off are in Japan Standard Time (JST), +9:00 from UTC.


Confederation A-C = drawn from the three champion clubs of AFC Champions League,
CAF Champions League and CONCACAF Champions Cup
