AFC Champions League: Urawa March To Semi-Final

An all-Japanese semi-final will take place in the AFC Champions League as defending champions Urawa Red Diamonds and Gamba Osaka were drawn together. Three clubs from Japan could have made it to the last four but Australia’s Adelaide United beat Kashima Antlers 2-1 on aggregate to terminate any possibilities.

Urawa Red Diamonds beat Kuwait’s Al Qadsia with a 4-3 scoreline over both legs, while Gamba Osaka overcame the challenge of Al Karama of Syria.

Bunyodkor of Uzbekistan face Adelaide in pursuit of a place in the final. Bunyodkor have risen to headlines for their transfer activity as they turned to Brazilians to guide them to success. Zico has joined on a one-year basis to manage the club, while Rivaldo couldn’t resist a final lucrative contract, an offer he admitted as "very good for the end of my career". A victory over Iran’s Saipa FC secured a place in the prestigous AFC Champions League semi-final.

Both semi-final legs will take place on October 8th and 22nd.
