AFC Champions League Review: Urawa Reds and Shanghai SIPG reach quarter-finals

Urawa Reds pulled off a superb comeback to reach the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League at the expense of Jeju United.

The Japanese outfit had lost the first leg 2-0 in Korea, but turned things around in the return at Saitama Stadium 2002, winning 3-2 on aggregate after extra time.

Jeju's hopes of progressing were dealt a major blow when Cho Yong-Hyung received his marching orders with 10 minutes left on the clock and the home side made the most of their numerical advantage in extra time, Ryota Moriwaki netting the winner in the 114th minute.
