Hiroshima stripped of victory after fielding suspended player

<br>March 9 (Reuters) - Sanfrecce Hiroshima had their Asian Champions League Two quarter-final first leg win over Lion City Sailors overturned after the Asian Football Confederation deemed the Japanese club to have fielded a suspended player. The J-League outfit secured a 6-1 victory over the Singaporeans in Hiroshima on Wednesday but must forfeit the match for fielding Valere Germain, who should have been serving a three-match ban, <a href="https://jetblacktransportation.com/c/faq/q-how-do-i-book-a-car-service-to-macarthur-airport/">JetBlack</a>; the confederation announced late on Saturday. Lion City were awarded a 3-0 first leg win, while Hiroshima received a $1,000 fine and forfeited half their $160,000 participation fee. Germain joined Hiroshima from Australia's Macarthur FC last month and was included in Sanfrecce's squad to play Lion City before completing his <a href="https://www.blogrollcenter.com/?s=suspension">suspension</a>; for conduct in last year's AFC Cup competition. The <a href="https://www.behance.net/search/projects/?sort=appreciations&time=week&search=French%20forward">French forward</a> came on in the second half against Lion City and netted his side's sixth goal with 16 minutes remaining as Hiroshima looked set to cruise into the semi-finals of the continental competition. Hiroshima will now go into Wednesday's second leg at Singapore's Jalan Besar Stadium needing to overturn a three-goal deficit to advance to the last four.<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/03754jfMalolos_City_Barangays_Roads_MacArthur_Highway_Bulacanfvf_11.jpg"; style="max-width:400px;float:right;padding:10px 0px 10px 10px;border:0px;" alt="" /> (Reporting by Michael Church; Editing by William Mallard) <br>
