Veteran Yasuhito Endo scored the winner with his first goal of the season as Gamba Osaka came from behind to secure a 2-1 home win over Jubilo Iwata on Friday in the J. League.

Gamba, who had lost their last five games in all competitions at Suita Stadium, went behind to Yuki Kobayashi's fortuitous free kick but Ademilson's neat finish drew them level just before the break, and the 36-year-old Endo struck home the winner from inside the box to lift them up to eighth.

"We hadn't been able to win here so I'm glad we managed to win one way or the other," Endo said. "It came after hard work from everyone, and I want to ride on this win."
