Japan’s Kashima reaches ACL final for 1st time
Print Edition
Serginho scored a late equalizer yesterday to send Kashima Antlers to the AFC Champions League final for the first time.
The Brazil midfielder put a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the top right corner in the 82nd minute to give the Japanese team a 3-3 draw with South Korean club Suwon Bluewings and a 6-5 victory on aggregate. Kashima will face fellow debut finalist Iran’s Persepolis for the trophy. The first leg will take place in Kashima on November 3, with the second leg in Tehran seven days later. Eight-time Japanese champion Kashima took the lead at Suwon World Cup Stadium when Shuto Yamamoto scored in the 25th minute. But the hosts put in three goals in a 9-minute span in the second half to lead 3-1. Daigo Nishi then gave Kashima hope with a goal in the 64th before Serginho scored the decider.
