Teammates including Sadio Mané and Jhon Durán were left shellshocked by the result, as Kawasaki held firm to book their place in the final - where they will face Saudi rivals Al-Ahli.
Trophyless Season Looms
This latest defeat means Ronaldo is set to finish the season without silverware.

Since arriving in Riyadh in December 2022 after a dramatic exit from Manchester United, the Portuguese legend has lifted just one trophy: the Arab Club Champions Cup in August 2023.
Despite his stunning personal record of 97 goals in 108 appearances, team honours have eluded him - and frustration boiled over on the pitch.
Fighting On
After the match, Ronaldo didn't speak to the media but later posted on social media thanking fans and vowing to keep fighting.
We win together, we lose together. Proud of the team and always grateful for the support. We'll come back stronger.
