Adelaide United v Kashima Antlers 24-Sept-2008
Adelaide forge ahead in Asia
Defender Robert Cornthwaite redeemed a first-leg own goal to crown Adelaide United as the first Australian team to reach the last four of the AFC Champions League on Wednesday night.
Adelaide eliminated Japanese champions Kashima Antlers with a 1-0 victory in their second-leg quarter-final at Hindmarsh Stadium, in front of a record 16,965 fans.
Cornthwaite headed the winner in the 73rd minute to erase his agony of netting an own goal in the away tie last week and sent Adelaide United through 2-1 on aggregate.
Adelaide’s tense win set up a semi-final with Uzbekistan’s FC Bunyodkor in next month’s two-legged semi-finals.
Bunyodkor crushed Saipa of Iran 5-1 to go through 7-3 on aggregate.
Kashima missed the inspiration of injured captain Mitsuo Ogasawara but striker Shinzoh Kohrogi had enough chances before half-time to possibly halt Adelaide’s progress.
He volleyed neatly on the turn in the eighth minute but straight into the waiting arms of Adelaide keeper Eugene Galekovic at the near post.
Kohrogi found space in the penalty area in the 12th minute and forced Galekovic to palm his delicate, goalbound chip away for a corner.
But they soon responded when midfielder Diego released fellow Brazilian Cassio on the left in the 17th minute and he squared for captain Travis Dodd staring at an open goal but Dodd mysteriously missed the golden pass completely from six metres out.
Dodd caused the Antlers’ defence headaches in the first half with his pace on the right and he beat two defenders in the 21st minute before squaring a cross for Paul Agostino in the penalty box which just eluded him.
But Cassio’s sweet cross into the box after a Paul Reid shot was barely parried by the Antlers’ keeper set up Cornthwaite’s fairytale winner with a stooping header from about five metres out.
The goal stretched Adelaide’s sterling, 2008 AFC champions league winning record to eight matches.
The only negative for Adelaide was a caution for pivotal centre half Sasha Ogenovski in the 55th minute for a tug on Kohrogi, which means he’ll be suspended for the first leg of the semi-final match up after also being booked in Japan in the first leg of the tie.
