Maiden J-League triumph for Gamba Osaka
Afp, Osaka
Gamba Osaka won the J-League championship for the first time Saturday after the title hopes of cross-town rivals Cerezo Osaka were ruined by an injury-time equalizer on the season's final day. Gamba, trailing Cerezo by one point heading into the final match, battled back with two late goals from Yasuhito Endo and Brazilian Araujo for a 4-2 away win over Kawasaki Frontale. Cerezo flirted with their first-ever league title before home supporters until the final minute when FC Tokyo scored an equalizer to close the match at 2-2.
