Gamba Osaka recorded their first win in the Asian Champions League in emphatic fashion on Wednesday, hammering Vietnamese club Da Nang 15-0 to move into second spot in Group E.

Brazilian strikers Fernandinho and Magno Alves accounted for eight of Gamba's goals to lift the J. League champions into second spot, three points behind China's Dalian Shide, who beat South Korean FA Cup winners Chonbuk Motors 1-0 in the group's other fixture.
Yasuhito Endo, one of three Gamba starters named earlier in the day to Japan's squad for the upcoming friendly with Ecuador, broke the deadlock, and the floodgates, when he converted a penalty after 15 minutes.
