Japan Football J.League Final Day 2005 Gamba Osaka INCREDIBLE finish - must see! Cerezo KONNO Endo

Brought to you by JSoccer Magazine and http://www.jsoccer.com. It was the most incredible finish to a football season EVER! ANYWHERE!? FIVE teams were in with a chance of winning the title as the games kicked off. At half time Urawa Reds were on course to win the League on goal difference from Kashima Antlers and Cerezo Osaka. Gamba were a point behind in 4th in the real-time table and JEF United were three points off the top in 5th.
In the 2nd half Cerezo went ahead, and top, then Gamba took the lead at Kawasaki, while Reds extended their lead to 3-0. Then Gamba conceded and dropped two points down again! With nine minutes to go Gamba took the lead, while Cerezo were still winning. Cerezo led the table by a point over Gamba into the final SECONDS of the season! Literally! As the clock ticked over 89 m. 57 seconds FC Tokyo's Konno (now of Gamba Osaka, of course!) poked home an equaliser and, with that goal, Cerezo's neighbours Gamba won the league, and Cerezo slipped from 1st to 5th in a split-second! WHAT A FINISH!
