Thai League 1 champions Buriram United on Tuesday held Group G leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to a goalless draw to steal a point from their last AFC Champions League outing this year.
Buriram, who were eliminated from the tournament even before Tuesday's kick-off at Jeonju World Cup Stadium, were missing several key players for the game.
Despite the draw, Jeonbuk finished on top of Group G standings with 13 points.
Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds were the second team to qualify for the last-16 stage of the tournament with 10 points.
Beijing Guoan came in third with seven points, while Buriram ended at the bottom of the table with four points.
With Pedro Junior serving a one-game suspension, veteran Andres Tunez was the only foreign player to take the field for the Thunder Castle.
Buriram deployed the young duo of Supachai Chaided and Supachok Sarachart as strikers.
Supachai had a few chances on either side of the half-time break, but the lanky striker could not break the ice for the visiting team.
Jeonbuk goalkeeper Song Bum-Keun also came to the home team's rescue twice, warding off a couple of shots in the first half.
Buriram's young Suphanat Mueanta made his presence felt in the second half.
In the other group match, Urawa Red Diamonds came strong as they finished second in Group G after defeating Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan FC 3-0.
The three Urawa goals were scored by Kazuki Nagasawa (34th minute), Yuki Muto (41st) and Shinzo Koroki (81st).
