Last-gasp Gamba sets up Guangdong semi

Gamba Osaka substitute Koki Yonekura struck a 93rd-minute winner to send it through to the AFC Champions League semifinals with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Jeonbuk Motors yesterday.

With Jeonbuk set to advance 2-2 on away goals, the defender was sent clear and finished to wild celebrations at the Expo 70 Commemorative Stadium and set the Japanese side up with a last-four clash against Chinese champion Guangzhou Evergrande. Some Jeonbuk players looked close to tears after Yonekura鈥檚 late strike, having thought they had done enough to advance when Spanish striker Urko Vera came off the bench to head an 88th-minute equalizer in a topsy-turvy second leg.
