Sho Sasaki and Yoshifumi Kashiwa both scored in injury time to earn Sanfrecce Hiroshima a 3-2 win away to defending champions Gamba Osaka in the first leg of the J.League Championship Final on Wednesday night.
Shun Nagasawa capitalized on some shocking defending to put Gamba in front and after Douglas leveled in the 80th minute, Yasuyuki Konno looked to have won it with his second goal of the postseason in the 81st minute.
But Sasaski headed home in the first minute of added time, and Kashiwa sealed the victory when he crashed home the third in the 96th minute to put Hiroshima in control ahead of the second leg at Edion Stadium on Saturday.
