HERO ASANI crowns thrilling comeback! ｜ Gwangju (KOR) - Vissel Kobe (JPN) ｜ Highlights ｜ ACL Elite

Osaka and Ide led J-League outfit Vissel Corbet to a 2-0 win in the first leg of this round of 16 tie. Can Gwangju of the Korea Republic strike back at home in the second leg? These two teams finished 4th and 5th in the group league phase, so the signs suggest it could still be a close contest. Gwangju from the right, send it in, it's missed by everybody. There'll be a shooting chance. Oh, Hu Siong, he'll have another go. And it's turned behind for a corner. Gwangju starting strongly here. As they look to come from two down. Park Tae-Jun sends it over from the left. It'll fall nicely in the middle. Good goalkeeping from Maekawa. The race with the shot from inside the box. And out it goes. Gwangju really pushing in the early stages. They want that early goal. Park Tae-Jun standing over the free kick. It's swinging into the middle. And the header's up and in. Park Jong-In getting on the end of it. And Gwangju are on the board here, and right back in the contest. The Gwangju pressure has faded a touch since that goal, but they remain just one behind at halftime. Gwangju upping the pressure in this second half now. He steps inside and goes for the long shot. True to save from Maekawa. The Bissell Corby keeper got down to it. Out of the box it goes. Bissell Corby have it with Muto. Go up to the right, and Sasaki from the right-hand side of the area flashes the shot across the face of goal. Some signs of life from the guests. How they would love to re-establish that two-goal cushion. The cross comes over all the way through. Appeals for handball there. Did it hit the hand of Iwanami? The referee says yes, it did. Late drama. It's Asani from the penalty spot. He was not going to miss. No pressure on the shoulders of Asani, or it looked like that at least, as he buried the penalty. This one is going all the way to extra time. Gwangju have it. Space on the right-hand side. They've sent in several crosses today. Here's another good one! And that brings out a tremendous stop from Maekawa. Brilliant header and a great save. They're still pushing. Choi knocks it back to Asani! They're at the crossbar of Gwangju FC. It's a goal worthy of winning any contest, and surely it will be the winner here. Three goals to nil. They've turned this on its head. The champions of Japan eliminated. Gwangju go through to the quarterfinals.
