Gamba reaches Asian CL semis with late 3-2 win over Jeonbuk

Japanese club Gamba Osaka beat South Korea's Jeonbuk Motors 3-2 in injury time to make the Asian Champions League semifinals on Wednesday.

The former champions finished 0-0 in the first leg last month, but there was no shortage of scoring in the second leg in Osaka.

Deep in stoppage time, Koki Yonekura found his way into the penalty area and beat goalkeeper Kwoun Sun-tae for a dramatic winner.

Leonardo began the scoring from the penalty spot in the 12th minute for Jeonbuk, but fellow Brazilian Patric equalized a minute later.

Shu Kurata put the hosts ahead with a 76th-minute strike, and Jeonbuk substitute Urko Vera restored parity with an 88th-minute header.

Gamba set up semifinal with former champion Guangzhou Evergrande of China.
